Best Staff I've ever encountered!

I do a fair amount of travel - I truly think this property has the warmest & most hospitable staff I've ever met... Truly, each & every person I saw, passed, talked to, made an inquiry with, each was so wonderful - it really added to my experience. Being across from the Mall was great - I was able to pop over there for a mani/pedi, as well as for items at the pharmacy & grocery. Easy to Uber from there to anywhere. Felt safe & taken care of, which is always a extra important to me since I travel solo. The bar was great - fabulous bartenders & bar managers - & there was always great music playing, whether over sound system, live performers, or DJ. I could not have made a better selection for my stay in Durban!

The property was nice and clean. Accessible to shopping mall and dining area. Loved the hotel restaurant food. Staff was very nice. I only wished they had fixed the shower door as it leaked water while showering. Every other thing was great.
