welcome rosesspacious roomquick servicedesignated driver
I appreciated the executive suite I booked for my birthday weekend. I found roses upon arrival. I was even escorted to my very spacious room. I especially appreciated Sipho, my designated driver, WHO drove me to Sandton City making the ride nice.
I experienced slight confusion regarding the deposit system, as I got to decide the amount I would leave rather than a set amount taken as a hold.
