Well, my first impression was not very good for some reasons, however, they have taken a very quick corrective actions to make my stay pleasant and comfortable.
My check in was a little bit time consuming but as soon as they realized that they could correct this situation very quickly by offering a very special compliment which means that they really care about the customer which is their business.
Very special thanks to Lindia Mangels (GUEST Relations Manager) and General Manager, Gawie Nel for their caring and interest to make their customer EXTREMELY satisfied.
So, I'll look forward to stay here again and again and I advise and recommend others to stay here as well.
Regarding the room cleanliness, it couldn't be any better as well as the room services, the hotel staff are super friendly and informative.
Actually it was my first time in my life to stay at a room that is very close to the airport so it was a new experience for me and nice as well.
There's a free shuttle bus since the morning until 11:00 pm on daily basis from and to the airport, which means that if you wanna go to any of the airport restaurant at night for dinner it will be possible and will take only 5 mins.
They have a very very good gym, and I wished I could use it but I had no time for that.
Final conclusion is, it's a very good place to stay not only as a transit overnight but also for even one week as my case.
