          Bad service ”

          I was treated very bad by the manager of the place, I booked and then decided to come with my wife and she forced me to pay extra R860.00 per day for my wife, she told me i booked for myself only but not for my wife, She then threatened me i must get out of her "Four Star " place if I don't pay for my wife. Because it was already late I called my friend to rescue me by borrowing me money via EFT so that I don't get thrown out. We slept with painful hearts with my wife and we couldn't wait for sunday to come so that we can leave the place. The room was not cleaned after the first day and the bed was not done, towels were not changed and all things we used were not replaced, we had to use everything we were using the previous day. This was a very poor service i have ever came across in my life. We still want to know why was my wife charged while she was sleeping in 1 room n 1 bed with me. Because she paid then they could have a given her a separate room n service. I have proof of payment
