10/10 Excellent
"I liked my stay here. It was simple to set everything up and simple to make use of the room and facilities. Enjoyed that they had a nice Italian/Brazilian restaurant attached! Service was always pleasant, amenities were good. They easily met my request for a room on the ground floor. I've stayed at the Cape before at different places and this was definitely one of the best."
