It could of been better.
Pros:

1. Room was clean. Every time I came back, the room was spotless.

Cons:

1. The air conditioner only allowed for cold temperatures. So my stay was very unpleasant due to it being winter. We tried asking for a heater, but none were available.
2. I ordered food from room service, and when I asked for it to get warmed, they declined my request.
3. I wasn't happy with the state of the bedding.

The stay was pleasant.
Pros:

The property is located in a very convenient area, very easy to find. The staff were helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the breakfast.

Cons:

The only discomfort I experienced was with the light situation in the rooms. The lights are grouped so you cannot have a dim lit room. It is either dark or too bright.

Overpriced for Comrades marathon. There are better options in the same price range.
Pros:

It is located conveniently for Comrades marathon.

Cons:

The rooms are tiny. I felt like I was in a dormitory. Breakfast service is slow. Long lines at coffee machine. Inadequate soap supplies in room.

Pros:

It was convenient for our purpose and staff were friendly

Cons:

The beds were not comfortable especially as I was there for a competition and did not need to wake up with back ache. No blankets or extra pillows supplied. Not replacing toilet paper and as two people were in the room we should have each been supplied with shower gel, caps and soap. We only were given one shower gel and cap.
