Pros:

The location

Cons:

We were assured about our safety, after querying, when we checked in.
I had left early Monday morning to do business in George. My wife was working alone on her computer in the room on that day, when the gardener entered the room via the sliding door, which was open, and he seemed to have the intention of theft. He obviously did not see my wife on the computer in the opposite corner and when he saw my wife he made a quick exit. We questioned this but the manager seemed to side with the gardener initially.

Comfortable but needs maintenance
Pros:

The hotel looks like a quaint hotel from bygone days. It is in a lovely settings. The staff are very helpful and friendly and tried to compensate for the establishment shortcomings. Our room was large and comfortable with a great view. Our dinner was delicious and plentiful

Cons:

First impressions count. We arrived with not a sole in site. I tried phoning the numbers on the counter with no response. About 30 minutes later someone arrived and checked us in. It was as if they did not expect us. Others had the same issue. The place is in need of maintenance. No management was seen.

Invest on the equipments you are using. Stop using cheap irons to save money
Pros:

The location is good, it has a nice view

Cons:

The breakfast in a facility of that level was disappointing
The iron and ironing bods are not in working condition and they use old irons which and up ruining clothes. My white shirt was left with black marks from the iron, I had to go to court with that ruined shirt

Great, affordable, good experience
Pros:

Location was great
Staff was extremely helpful with checkin etc
Rooms were a good size, very nice pool and entertainment area
Very nice location, not in George but not too far either

Cons:

The only issue was our room did not have AC, in summer this was a bit of a problem.
That was the only issue with the stay, I probably could have requested a room with AC but it was only one night
