The staff showed warmth from reception to valet service. The restaurant staff prepared a breakfast pack for me. My room had views of lionshead and table mountain.
The shower was broken and maintenance did not fix it. The excuse was they ran out of stock. I had to push their trolley to my uber during check out.
