Excellent Stay Near the Waterfront

friendly staffgood selectionspacious suitemountain views
I found the staff friendly and helpful. Breakfast had a really good selection. My suite was both spacious and comfortable. The views of Table Mountain were a definite highlight.
The light next to the bed didn't turn completely off so I had to unscrew the bulb each night.

There was slow service in the restaurant. Coffee in the room took a very long time. I collected it myself. The staff needs training in communication.
