Great staff & horrible nightclub neighbor

The staff has been helpful and accommodating. The only disappointment is that a horrifically loud DJ & nightclub next door rob you of an expected peaceful sleep on Friday and Saturday night. In fact, I'm not sure if the immediate next door Protea Marriott isn't the source of the offensive noise. Don't stay here on a weekend.

Wonderful hotel with friendly staff

The property is very clean and the staff were friendly. The food needs a lot of revamp especially room service. This property is a good [lace to stay for a business trip. Bathrooms are clean and modern. My room was on the side of the road and it was noisy would prefer a quiet room in the future.

Very good location with an average accomodation.

Excellent location near many shopping malls within walking distance. The property is run down in way too expensive for what you receive. Staff are all very friendly and service oriented.

Comfortable, clean stay

Very clean and comfortable hotel. Shower is luxurious compared to what we'd been used to in Africa, much appreciated. The service in the restaurant wasn't the best, waiting 1.5 hours for food with 4 hungry kids wasn't good, not sure if that was a kitchen problem or server problem.
