the breakfast buffet had many choices. i found the location convenient, within walking distance to sandton mall. the underground parking not sketchy at all (a big plus for peace of mind).
the phone in my room did not work. i had to go to reception each time i needed assistance. housekeeping came too early and disturbed me when they came to collect dirty towels. there was no bottled water provided upon arrival, a minor inconvenience.
