I had a mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were spacious and comfortable, there was an unpleasant cigarette smoke smell lingering. The staff was generally friendly and helpful, but I did experience a rude interruption regarding payment. The location was quite convenient for me as it was close to Shepstone Gardens, but the area felt a bit dodgy at times and could get noisy at night. Overall, I felt it was a decent value for money, although it could use some improvements.

I had a pretty mixed experience at the hotel. While the rooms were clean and spacious, I faced a major issue when I found out my reserved room had been given to someone else. On a positive note, the staff were helpful and accommodating, making my stay smoother despite the hiccup. The dining experience was enjoyable with quality food served to my room, but the overall atmosphere could have been quieter. Overall, it's decent value for money considering the comfort and cleanliness.
