Good place for a great price

Very solid spot for the price. Clean, comfortable, all the basics covered and then some. Nice location near Melville shops and restaurants. Only downside is that it's not the easiest to get from the motel to the big sites in downtown Joburg, but a 50 rand (under 5 USD) uber ride can get you to Constitution Hill, Braamfontein and other key spots that connect to the major sightseeing busses and Gautrain. I'd definitely recommend to anyone looking for something a bit different and travelling on a budget.
