My room, an executive king room, included a mini fridge and a selection of four different teas and coffee. The bathroom offered shampoo, conditioner, and shower gel in dispensers with a very nice scent. I found a woolies metro nearby , made getting supplies simple.

The restaurant menu seemed pricey. Ordering chicken cost extra for a side.
