Southern Sun Elangeni & Maharani
63 Snell Parade, 4001 Durban, South Africa – Excellent location - show map
The room was not cleaned the next day and the bedding was just pulled as a sock I left in the bed that morning was under the bedding so makes you wonder method used during clearing and previous day side plates used where still found dirty, bin unemptied, floor not vacuumed. Yes they came to clean after BUT was it necessary to recall for obvious cleaning
