Room fixes. Not followed up, when plugs had no power, asked a few times after initial visit and was told they will fix…putting plugs behind a very heavy sleeping sofa dosen’t function. Where do you put your tablet to work on it, or to charge a phones. Metal furniture and balcony railings can use a coat of paint, it looks terrible to see all the rust and peeling paint. Signing a breakfast bill with the price dosen’t make sense. I was told no you won’t be charged SO WHY am I signing a slip with my name, signature and cost. I ever entered the bar, but had 2 charges on my room, it took all morn8ng, and we had to leave and still not resolved, they got me to sign another bill …very confusing.

This was my second time to Port Elizabeth and I love staying here! The main reason is that it is very close to the airport and I can make my departing flights easily. But I do love the hotel for its size, location, beach, ambiance, food, price, and nearby shopping and casino. Everything I want at a stone’s throw. Oh, and the staff is very nice and the rooms are really nice! My favorite place in Port Elizabeth, second only to Barefoot Addo Elephant Lodge.

The location was beautiful. Loved the convenience to the mall and pathway by the sea. We had two rooms and the showers in both rooms went from scalding hot to freezing without moving the knob.
