Johannesburg Vacation Packages

The room was clean & staff friendly. The room and inside of the property is very outdated. The room we (husband & I) were in had weird red/brown spots on the ceiling, the door to our room had gouges in it. There was a vertical rectangle in a part of a wall in our room that looked like a hole was covered. The AC unit is VERY old!

The units are small renovated apartments. They are clean and nice decorations. However there was no toilet paper and when I texted the number I had used to get our keyless entry info I received no response. There was shower gel in the corner of the bathroom but no shampoo. Not was there a top sheet in the bed only a comforter. It did serve our needs for the 2 nights we were there.

Breakfast buffet would be nice. Cereal and pancake maker don’t cut it for longer stays.

The room looked to be newly renovated on first glance - and while the bathroom looked like it had a newer flooring and a tub surround - the trim was very roughly done - so much so there was a hole in the wall where the trim was behind the toilet. The shower head was definitely older and the faucet was very had to work as it wobbled as you turned it on and almost felt like the handle would fall off as you tried to get the temperature correct. The option of the queen bed in addition to the king bed was nice, but be aware it was in a separate room with no windows. Water pressure was meh…

Do yourself a favor and get off the interstate and out of the chain hotels and stay at the Monarch (and places like it). Staff was super friendly and it had all the amenities you’ll need for a good nights rest.
