Not impressed.
Pros:

The place is in correct location/center of most shopping centers.

Cons:

The cleaning of the room is not impressing at all. The shower door is not closing properly and water is leaking through. According to my booking the breakfast was included in the booking but when getting to the place that was not organized accordingly.

Avani Gaborone; a great place to stay.
Pros:

Location, friendly staff, easy check in, comfort, facilities, pantry, buffet breakfast, all of these deserve appreciation.

Cons:

Their own Currency exchange rate is way too much than the exchange rate of that time. It forces you pay more than the equivalent amount.

Microwave can be placed in the rooms.
