Cyren
When I checked out this morning. I was told I had an outstanding bill of R245 for a dinner that was not mine. However, the guy at reception was very helpful. He told me it must have been the wrong room number and that he would investigate it. This was the East London branch
Deon
The check in was disorganized and had to fill in endless forms. I use this hotel regulary.
They need to review their breakfast priciing as it does not warrant what you are getting. Boring

This is a good budget hotel for a quick one night overnight stay. It is safe and provides secure parking. The rooms are very small and the bathrooms were questionable - the shower did not want to drain. The staff were wonderful though.

The staff at this hotel was unable to address issues of noise and unruliness with other guests that interrupted my and other paying guests sleep.

Some clients were extremely noisy at night and early hours of the morning , very insensitive to the needs of us/ others.
yomelela
The place is clean and neat, bed is not so comfortable. The manager or supervisor needs to control noise from other people staying here from 8pm to 00:00 it was like they are having a party you could hear them making noise on the passege and from their rooms as well. They should monitor what is brought in alcohol should not be allowed.

They need to do better with breakfast

Great reliable hotel
The road load is a basic hotel which is great for business travellers. Guests are often loud after hours (10 pm)

Pit Stop
Our short stay was good, our accommodation provides all the necessary requirements. There were some children running around in the corridors and being quite loud, but fortunately this dissapated by after a while

The corridors were noisy and there was constant work-in-progress which occurred without us being fore-warned. I remember that i struggled to set up a proper conference call while there was work going on

Feedback on my stay
I had a great stay though the mattress was so hard , but all was well
Verified traveler
The shower was blocked and not draining had to shower in a pool of water and that is a health hazard
Gary
Only had smoking rooms which wasn't disclosed on booking or checking in, busy refurbishing non smoking rooms. Womens sanitary bags (new ones) were left on top of toilet as there was no bin. Water left in basin and terrible smokey room

Good for 1 or 2 days at most.
The Wi-Fi service was non existent, the air conditioner was broken and rusted, the ice making machine was broken.

Check in quick and easy, pleasant and helpful staff. When receptionist saw the amount of baggage we had (we were travelling for a month) she arranged to change our allocated rooms to the ground floor. Rooms are sizeable and clean and well serviced. Breakfasts offered a variety of options suitable for most tastes. On checkout the same receptionist phoned ahead to Port Elizabeth Road Lodge and booked our rooms. Excellent service and all round good value. Thanks.

The reception was commendable; the lady was quite friendly and professional. The only problem was when handing me my room key, she told me room number very loudly even for people on the sofa could hear clearly the room number I was allocated. The room had an unbearable strong smell when we entered. We had to keep the window opened for a few hours although it was a bit cold. The beds were so univiting with very tired old not so good smelling blankets and thin duvets with overused covers. It was not easy to get into those low flat beds. The muffins in the morning was a great consolation.

More bitter than sweet
We were on the second floor. I was travelling with my elderly mother. There is no lift.
When we went out, room service threw away our food. There was no kettle or complimentary tea and coffee. We had only one towel on the second day. On the third day there were drunk men making a noise and drinking alcohol at the parking lot and at the hotel corridors.
The only positive is that it was central and convenient

1.We stayed in 2nd floor and there's no lift.
2.No tea/coffee services, we have to go down & buy coffee from the machine and it was soo cold that weekend.We also had flu,we had to go down to fetch water.
3.The bed was so hard.
4.The most important and stressing thing was the fact that I booked for 2 nights in May & realised I couldn't make it that Friday,so I called the hotel 3 days before the 14/07/17 to cancel the 14th.When I arrived at the hotel on the 15/07/17 I was told that I have to call hotel.com to enquire about my refund .Please assist me with that .
