Lovely hotel, beautiful lobby bar area. Plesant patio garden where you could eat, drink or chill. We had the Durban suite 2047, which was spacious and luxurious. However situated at the side and back of hotel. Small balcony with poor patio furniture. With no cushions. So not encouraged to sit out there. We ate in the restaurant the food was good. Overall staff was helpful plesant. However we had a few hiccups, which the hotel had to resolve. Dont expect quick responses. Stairwall indicates its staff only. Great location near VA waterfront

The exec floor corner rooms offer an incredible view. Nice lunch and gym was well equipped. Room service was awful and despite saying it was awful I wasn’t offered a refund. Save your money and eat at the Time Out market really close to the hotel.

Could have been perfect but wasn’t
The property was lovely and we were going to return but unfortunately there was a problem with our bill and the hotels service and follow up was very poor. We spoke with several employees about adjusting out reservation even upon check-in. We were assured by multiple people it would not be a problem but upon check out discovered that it was never changed. We were charged for an extra night and were refused a refund. When this was escalated to a manager they said they would follow up because they had been in error and they never did and so the issue was not resolved. No accountability.

First night the heating did not work. Inconsistence in room maintenance. Hot water was not hot on the first night. Request for an iron took ages to be complied with. House-keeping was inconsistent from one day to another. There was an attitude of complacency.

It met my hygiene standards, I’m fussy about cleanliness and they won my heart. The food in this place is exceptional. Compliments to the chef(s). My beau and I had an excellent time. Maintenance should step up. House keeping should also maintain a checklist of items so that they don’t forget to replenish items. Overall, it is a quality facility.
