Airport shuttles every 15 minutes

This is a great hotel at Johannesburg airport. What sets it apart is its airport shuttle services (a shuttle every 15 minutes 24 hours a day).

It was okay, but the hotel room was worn out. Front desk was efficient and friendly. Breakfast was fine. Had to go to the waiters station to serve myself coffee after sitting there for a while. The shower wall is frosted glass facing the bedroom, which is kind of awkward unless you're with a significant other.

The front desk made me feel like an inconvenience checking in. The ladies in the gift store really didn’t want to be there. Bar staff were okay
