This is a perfect place to stay if you just need one night: shuttle to and from the airport, dinner on the property, free breakfast (you can get "breakfast pack to go" if leaving early), very nice comfortable room. The only issue is that you are not recommended going outside the property (walking, running) because the area is not quite safe. Taking Uber is the solution if you want to explore other places.

I said the night for a layover. The rating on the door is rated 3 star out of 5 from South Africas rating on hotels. It's a quick place to recuperate and gather your thoughts. The British breakfast is mid and as an American beans dont belong on a plate but for a quick meal and morning energy it was worth eating. I think my review is simple for a one night stay
