Worse experience ever!

Firstly there is no parking reserved for hotel guests so, it took us more than 20min to get parking due to the fact that that is also a casino. While busy struggling with that we arrived at reception that was 22h26 they tried calling the restaurant to tell them that we would like to book table for supper since we flew in from Cape Town the phone was ringing with new answer until it was 21h55 finally someone from there came through to do something at reception with an attitude said well the kitchen is closed we insisted then they took us to the restaurant charged us the full amount of the buffet which had 2 pieces of meat and 2 scoops of curry basically left over food. The noise is unbearable, car driving in with full blast noise how can security allow this @12am? Even inside the hotel there noise people talking even the staff we couldn't sleep I had to call reception to tell them to keep the noise level down it made no difference. I will never ever set my foot in that taxi rank called a hotel. Thank you very much.

Stay if you must be in this area.

It is a small hotel that is an extension of a casino. Do all the rooms are, probably, just like ours and smelled of smoke. Walking down the hall, you could smell smoke from several rooms. And it seems the management does not care. Other parts of the hotel smell like a men's restroom. But on the "plus" side, the rooms are intimate (tiny) and surrounded by nature (a rooster wakes you up at the crack of dawn).
