Disliked: Room comfort

Substandard hospitality.

Not so good; in that the room was too small and everything cramped up together. We had to walk about looking for restaurants to have our breakfast/dinner 'cause there's no guide information provided by the hotel.

Value for money...?

The hotel is clean enough, except my room had a smoke smell although it was a non-smoking room. Staff are ok, but need some prompting to be helpful. The hotel has very limited secure parking space so most nights I had to park on the street, which is not very clean with garbage all over the place. The hotel is in the center of Fordsburg town, which can be a little hectic during the day. All in all, for the cost of accommodation, I can say it is value for money..
