Very disappointed.
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the bed was comfortable.

Cons:

Value for money is the biggest issue. It is not our first stay in the hotel as we travel to Comrades each year. Our hotel in Durban has a higher star rating, provides a buffet meal and has a fridge in every room, and the cost per day is virtually identical, hence a major issue with value for money. The safe in our room would not operate due to a low battery level, and when we walked into our room, we were greeted with a view from our window of a near vertical roof 1 meter away. Very disappointed.
