Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was comfortable with good water pressure in the shower, always a plus. The restaurant on site was convenient, the food avove average but not exceptional. The wait staff and door artendants were friendly and top notch. The hotel is surrounded by shops, and I especially appreciated it being close to Shoprite supermarket.

After a late arrival, the chef stayed on despite the kitchen being closed in order to prepare me a meal after my long drive, as did they waiver the ‘no room service’ option to cater for me. Very friendly and helpful staff all round. Secure parking. Highly recommend this property. Very convenient for those travelling by road as it’s on the main northern bound route.
