City Lodge Hotel at OR Tambo International Airport
The breakfast buffet is very good, nice selection from fresh fruit, pastries, green salad and eggs. The dinner buffet was ok, decent selection but most cuts of meat were overdone. The waitress were attentive and nice. Rooms are fine, extra blankets need cleaning. Can't beat the location.
