Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff was very pleasant and accommodating. The room was neat and housekeeping did great job when servicing our room. We were on the first floor, so it was a little bit noisy above us. I liked the location, lots of shops and restaurants near by. Would definitely stay again when visiting The Sandton area.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
I had a very long check in experience… I had to change rooms twice before I got to the room I finally slept in. After complaining about the smell of smoke in that first room the staff tried everything to make my stay comfortable.
