    I did not receive a WiFi password, thought maybe there isn't WiFi provided.

    The service was up to par, bathroom clean and bed made. Breakfast was well served and the heater kept me warm. Was able to make my cup of tea or coffee and TV kept me entertained.

    A lot of load shedding, no lights during the day and sometimes at night. No WiFi too If you have a morning flight, not ideal to stay there as the road opens after 9am or you either leave at 6am. This is because the N2 freeway is used as a parking lot, from 7am-9am. Not close to the city, you have to use uber service

    The staff was lovely, kind and helpful.
