Road Lodge South gate

The Road Lodge had no record of my booking and after 20 minutes reloaded my booking. I am not sure who's fault this is?
The room was fine and the staff very polite.

There was a shortage of staff in the kitchen which resulted in waiting time of 90 minutes for a meal.

I feel like they can improve on some few things like dining the stuff shouldn't wait for the food on the buffet to run out before they refill it and they should regularly check whats missing on the buffet

I always enjoy staying at Southgate Road Lodge. However, I was not pleased at all with the Malta pudding I ordered. It was rubbering and I only ate the custard, which was excellent. The reception staff compensated me by reducing my bill by the R70 price of the Malta. Other than this incident, am happy.

Why Road Lodge Southgate?

The front desk staff was excellent. After my online booking did not show up on the PC, they assured me they would sort it out and even allowed me to go to my room while they were addressing the issues. They were friendly and professional and always maintained eye contact when you were in the room, letting you know they would help!

Hotel location

This was my second trip to this hotel in less than two months and although I rated your cleanliness as good, however, the ants that are roaming around the rooms are living much to be desired. I thought the room are was booked in last time around is just manifested by these ants because it might be next to the hole where these ants are coming from but the second time around I noticed that it wasn't the case but poor managing of the situation.
