Hotels near Elsies River Station

"Overall, I was underwhelmed by my stay at this hotel, which is unfortunate because if not for my bad experiences with staff, I would stay here again. The cons: The staff at this hotel discriminates against their guest according to skin color. This is said not on the basis of 1 experience but several. As a young woman traveling alone, I shouldn't expect anything less than decorum from the male staff there and the receptionist. They offer preferential treatment to their white guests and disrespect single traveling women of color and strange because …. The staff are also people of color. Single women take caution at this hotel. I was disrespected twice by the front door staff. The shuttle driver would not let me on the shuttle after letting the white guests on because “I needed my name on the list” yet he had no idea if I was on the list or not. As I tried to get on, he’d dance around me to block me from entering. I was then told by one of them that “the hotel doesn’t let just anyone on the bus”. I was also looked at inappropriately by the doorman. The perks are that you are right next to a majestic beach, the restaurants inside the hotel offer you a beautiful view of the ocean and the sunset, the waiters and chefs and very kind. The food (esp. breakfast) is very good but the cost for breakfast was a rip-off. When I purchased my reservation, I was told breakfast would be $8 or about 120 rands at the time, when I went to breakfast, they charged me $18 or 300 rands instead. "

"Old style hotel that’s needs upgrading in the rooms. VERY small room - tripping over our suitcases as no where to put them. Tiny bathroom. Water pressure ok not great. No fridge, but ice machine downstairs . Front desk staff very professional. "

"Hotel is on edge of the Canal Walk and the large Century City mall with many restaurants. The buffet breakfast was excellent and the small restaurant, “Slate” offered up small meals. Buffet staff worked hard each day, yet were welcoming and smiling even with large groups overflowing the large room. Pool was large, clean and had lounges and umbrellas. The hotel was exactly what we anticipated but for the front desk reception who seemed incapable of solving small problems (needed 3-prong plug for charging and epac machine) as my husband was ill on arrival. At dusk the four ‘managers’ with no other customers, told this senior to go to the mall and get one when I had no idea where I was, even, let alone head off on my own. The Operations Manager immediately was in contact when he heard of our difficulty which we appreciated. No hesitation in recommending this facility."

"Staff is great and welcoming, all amenities are in the room that I want. Overall just a great hotel for the price point"

"The room was spacious and high-end and the meals served in the restaurant were lovely whilst also being rather cheap. I would stay again. :)"

"Amenities "

"The two-bedroom apartment was very spacious and well-designed, with two bathrooms that made it especially convenient. The rooms were clean, modern, and comfortable. The staff were friendly and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. While the breakfast was good, it could be improved by offering a wider variety of options for guests who do not eat pork or beef"

"Yes"
