First impressions really count
Pros:

The ease of checking in and the amazing staff. It was my wife's birthday and they made our stay special. The room had petals with Happy b/day on it. A gift was also provided. A free shuttle was on hand when needed.

Cons:

The only problem was the work being done on the road adjacent to the apartments which made walking to Sandton City dangerous. Nothing to do with the hotel though.
