My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The room was cozy and warm, a nice escape from the cold outside, but there was a minor issue with finding something between the sheets at night. The staff, although mostly welcoming, had some rude encounters. The location by the Vaal river was beautiful, but renovations were ongoing during my visit. The dining experience was good, except for the bacon. The facilities were well-equipped, but there could have been improvements.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was stunning by the riverside, with friendly and helpful staff, but it was hard to find. The service was brilliant, and the rooms, although one was modern and the other outdated, were a mix of old and new. However, the rooms needed serious attention, with old furniture and a broken toilet holder. The dining experience was limited in options and didn't cater well for children.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were comfortable but lacked enough towels. The pool area offered a relaxing spot, although there was a leak near my window in room 512 when it rained. On the bright side, the rooms always smelled clean.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The rooms, although a bit stuffy due to the full capacity, were still very nice and warm, perfect for the cold weather outside. The service was top-notch, with staff personally attending to my needs, making me feel valued and welcome. The location next to the Vaal River was stunning, with beautiful views all around. The dining experience was a major highlight, with friendly staff and delicious homemade dishes. The facilities were modern and well-maintained, adding to the overall comfort of my stay.

The hotel definitely has some ups and downs. The rooms weren't the best - they were stuffy and not very appealing, plus we couldn't even have breakfast in there which was a bit of a bummer. However, the service was top-notch, everyone was so friendly and willing to help with anything. The location was lovely, right on the Vaal River, but the dining experience was just okay, especially on busy weekends. Overall, it was a mixed experience.

My stay at the hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms, although cozy and warm, had some cleanliness issues like dirty old carpets and mildew on the walls. The view of the river was beautiful, but the overall condition of the room was lacking with missing picture frames and salvaged furniture. The service was exceptional and welcoming despite some struggles in coordinating orders for larger groups. The location, nestled near the Vaal River, was great with friendly and helpful staff members. The dining experience was good but could improve efficiency, especially for guests with young children. Facilities were adequate. Overall, a stay here comes with trade-offs between comfort and maintenance issues.
