I spent the night here before an international flight. I found the staff and other guests friendly and respectful of my privacy.The distance was a bit expensive using an Uber but since it was during the peak of the taxi strike, I didn't struggle for transport and it was close enough to Observatory to go grocery and thrift shopping.I was also given the option of transport by the lodge should I struggle to get transport to the airport.Comfortable, quiet lodgings with hot shower.
