"Unfortunately my first stay at a hotel on my home province was not great. They gave us a room that was basically in a basement. The worse thing was there was no power the room was duck and hot, it was not load shedding but an issue around the area. We ended up looking for accommodation somewhere else that had backup generators. So basically we had to pay again for another accommodation. Overall the place looks good and clean but being in a basement in the dark was a no no."

"Extremely disappointing experience. Check-in was handled by unorganized staff who didn't know which room was mine and initially downgraded me from an Executive Room to a budget room. When I finally got into the Executive Room after 30 minutes, it was falling apart—mold on the walls, broken furniture, and an unsecured back door leading outside with no key. I felt so unsafe and disgusted that I left under the pretense of getting dinner and checked into another hotel. I have never abandoned a...
