Short stay with Protea Hotel
My son and I visited CT for 4 days and according to them I booked for 2 adults. No one phoned before we arrived to confirm our booking. They couldn't help me with an explanation on how it happened; booking app's fault or theirs? Breakfast service was excellent. Our fire alarm went off twice. The reception had no idea about the fire alarm that went off at weird times - early mornings and even at night really late. Feedback would be appreciated.

I showed up and they didn't have my reservation. The staff said they weren't familiar with Expedia. Weeks later and Expedia still won't refund me. Don't stay here!

Unbelievably good value for money
Charming main building makes you feel like your in the winelands yet you are minutes from city, spacious comfortable rooms, excellent on site restaurant. Absolutely best value for money. Only drawback and reason for amazing price is the highway noise in the background. Doesn’t bother you when in your room and you can’t see it but you can hear it by pool and in public areas.
