The hotel boasts a great location in Sandton; it was central enough to access everything easily, yet far enough from the hustle and bustle. I enjoyed relaxing by the pool, but there weren't enough loungers available for a comfortable stay.

The meals from the menu were quite good, exceeding my expectations with a nice variety. However, I wished there was a buffet breakfast option considering the price. It would have made breakfast more interesting and varied each day.
