I had a fantastic view of Table Mountain from my room. It was breathtaking, but the area didn't feel very safe at night. The service was exceptional, almost like a training ground for the hospitality industry. The location was right in the city center, making it convenient for exploring Cape Town. The dining was good, with sweet biscuits to satisfy my cravings. The facilities were well-maintained, but a bit pricey for the value offered.
