personal experience excellent service lovely courses awful carpet small lobby dreary decor
Ntombi provided excellent service during my afternoon tea. She explained all courses well. She served me intently. It was a very personal experience.
The hotel lobby and reception seemed small. I thought it was dull for a grand hotel. The carpet seemed awful in my upgraded room.
