6.5Okay
Terry, Jun 2019

Cons. One can not check out and subsequently have breakfast. And, of corse, when I got through with breakfast the check out line had a half dozen people in it and when I tried to check out earlier I was the only one in line. Will not stay at this property again.

Pros. We had a stopover in Johannesburg before connecting another flight to Zimbabwe. This hotel was so convenient, the staff courteous, and room comfortable.

Pros. Proximity to airport

Cons. Window locks were broken. Bathroom was dirty - hair in shower, trash had not been taken out. Felt extremely unsafe. Would not recommend this place to anyone

Pros. The bar/restaurant was njce

Cons. They couldn't find my reservation so despite showing them a confirmation and proof of payment they made me wait in lounge for hours. They made no effort to call their booking partner to find it despite the fact that I had a flight in less than 8 hours and there were several people there. When I asked to speak to the manager she just came out and yelled at us. Lobby looked nice but the rooms were not. I'd stay away from this place. We only booked because of proximity to airport but seeing as how it took several hours to check in I can't even suggest location as a positive.
