Lesson learned
Pros:

Nothing. There was a seaview i could not enjoy as I had to stay in or go out to avoid the very noisy crowd.

Cons:

No supervisor or security. The unstable table and chair, as well as turntable in microwave.
Braai stand was broken. We were nit happy our coal was falling through and making a mess. The whole weekend was a nightmare

I had a great time
Pros:

The place was pretty I liked it but I felt it was far from everything the description on line truly matched the place which was the best part.

Cons:

If they could at least provide more coffee tea and toilet paper that will be great

What you see is not what you get.
Pros:

Nothing.

Cons:

- TV did not work during my stay. This was not communicated upon making the reservation but only after I had arrived, hours later. After reading the reviews, this seemed like a common problem.
- The sheets were so thin you could see the mattress.
- Towels are thin, smelly and not even matching.
- Pillows were thin and had to use both.
- Mattress felt like the cheapest they could get, with the springs poking your side.
- There was a door in my room leading to the next unit. Not mentioned in the description or picture.

Other than that it was a great stay.
Pros:

No breakfast.

Cons:

The loud music from other guests. Really terrible and went on to 10.30pm. When you have to get up at 5am it's a no no.

Creepy.
Cons:

Utter lack of privacy or sense of safety. There was a flimsy connecting door between my room and the next. I could hear the people in the next room having sex upon my arrival, and essentially EVERYTHING they said and did. The bathroom window opened onto a common walkway/stairwell. It had a lace curtain, and anyone going by could look right into the shower. This place gave me the creeps. Slept with the lights on.

I would not recommend this place to any of my friends.
Pros:

Convenience to Airport

Cons:

The party noise went on for hours so it was impossible to sleep. A lot of young enebriated people wandering around. The room next was not soundproof ...we could hear the showering , talking etc. The curtains were inadequate at keeping the room reasonably dark.
