Prime location if you're doing the Ironman 70.3 and other events taking place at Ushaka Pier.
Pros:

I booked this stay as I partook in the Ironman 70.3 event. There was no issue with bikes being allowed in the room which made the whole experience stress-free. It was the IDEAL location for this event and I'll definitely book again next year.
