The room is like a broom`s closet. Old, out dated probably from 1994. The showering unit is expected in a F1 hotel, not a Marriot Protea hotel.

The property sold me an extra room and then resold it to another guest. When I asked to move into the room, the owner brought police and raised a complaint against me. Travellers be aware and carefull

Just the location rest very poor facilities in the room
Bathrooms not fully equipped. Water clogged in the wash basin every time we open the tap. No toiletries at all. Inspite of complaining to them not resolved. Very limited things in breakfast. Very few fruits. Over all no value for the money paid. Bad experience
