Poor value for money

In South Africa standards, this hotel is considered very expensive. Start with the good - the rooms are clean and quite comfortable and the breakfast is lovely. The service, however, is average. The interest is non-existent, as is the TV quality, and the restaurant, outside of breakfast hours, which they call "high end", is really bad. Food was completely tasteless and way too overpriced.
