Morning Star Express Hotel
Initially i was allocated room no 112 only to find out that the room was not serviced. So i had to go back to the reception and request another room.

Protea Hotel by Marriott Pretoria Loftus Park
Good hotel, didn’t give the room 5/5 but only 4/5 because of a whining/whistling sound throughout the whole night that stopped me from sleeping well. That and the AC temperature couldn’t be reduced below 18C. Otherwise can’t fault the hotel for anything.
