Efficiency of the staff when called for room service, friendliness of people both internal and external. Proffessional competence and due-care was an highlite for me.. Everyone was friendly from all client touch points, live engagement and customer service orientation was out of this world...
The size of the tv in my room, not that I complain about it but if you leave your 40/50 inch tv at home and book a weekend away atleast you expect to feel more than what you left behind at home but it was not the case here. And also the broken tile in the bathroom behind the door at room 118 first floor, as part of OHASA checking, Operations manager should note and fix such things because they are not looking good at the clients view. Some plugs were not operational when charging the phones.. These are not complains its just things to look into when getting a chance

The welcome was just wonderful, we came earlier than our checking in time but we were just made to feel at home. That's just how the staff is, Andy my guy your treatment towards people keep it up. It really shows that you are the face of the hotel and you welcomed us with warm hand. Thank you I am definitely going to come to the hotel again and bring more people.
There's nothing that's not to be liked there

Cleaning staff were more friendly and accommodating than the check in staff. The shift Manager Brendon Arumugam was the only Staff that went out of his way to assist us.
Check in Issue:
I booked a week in advance and requested, interleading rooms because we had a teenager and 2 children under 10 in our group. We called a few times before the check in date to confirm everything, we requested an early check in as we were traveling from Johannesburg from 3am and wanted to freshen up, we were told that check in was at 14:00. When we arrived at 14:00 to check in, we had to wait 45mins to be checked in. Check in staff was not accommodating at all.
Rooms:
The Beds were not comfortable at all. Pillows were incorrectly marked, Soft was marked as Firm and Firm was marked as Soft. The shower water flow was extremely slow. We requested the use of an iron and ironing board; we were limited to 30 min's, which is understandable, what was surprising, was that the Iron was chained the ironing board.
Breakfast:
On the Saturday morning, there was no option of fried eggs, only scrambled, when we requested for fried eggs, we were told that the only other option was pouched eggs. There was only 1 option of Sausage (Lamb) no pork or beef. There were no baked beans, only chakalaka.
On the Sunday morning, there was only the option of pouched eggs, no scrambled eggs. I only had baked beans, bacon and a half-cooked chicken sausage for my main breakfast.
