“The hotel positions itself as a practical base in Umhlanga, near Durban's tourist hub. I think its direct online check-in and meeting room are designed with business in mind, but the outdoor pool and proximity to Gateway mall definitely lend it leisure appeal. I noticed while researching that some room amenities can be inconsistent, so I would clarify those needs when booking.”
