Staff Make a Difference”

The staff made the biggest difference. Angelica deserves a promotion for just been cheerful, service focused and helping me before I could check and afterwards. The standard of service she delivered is 5 + 1 star. Everything was great value for money. The wonderful ocean view greeting every morning was priceless. It was also great been a walk away from everything (mall, entertainment, white sandy beach, restaurants)

Consider installing a lift for tgr top and bottom floors. In festives, provide more ice cubes. The ice machine ran out and could not keep up with the demand. Perhaps the bar should stock up more and provide guests on request. Provide a TV channel for animal lovers and gospel music.

City Lodge Port Elizabeth Excellent Value for Money”

I have just returned from a three night stay at the City Lodge Port Elizabeth, whilst attending the SA Society of Aaesthesiologists annual congress. Everything was fantastic with real value for money. Location is really a five minute walk to the Boardwalk Hotel and Conference Centre. Rooms are clean, comfortable and well appointed. Service is very good. This is like a mini five star hotel without the five star prices. Only thing is the breakfast is expesive at R165 but the spread is very good. Still, there is only so much one can eat, and R165 is expensive, when you can get restaurant breakfasts across the road for less than half the price.
