Great job Marang!
The staff were very courteous, friendly, helpful and committed to making our stay comfortable and meet out expectations. I received calls to check on our stay during the stay. The cleaning lady that attended to our room was very polite and helpful too. I was extremely impressed with the cleanliness of the suite and we felt safe that all the COVID 19 restriction were adhered to.

Do not book, no operation
I booked this hotel, but it is not operating. They arranged another Cresta in Francistown which is cheaper than this hotel. Not yet replied how to compensate the difference.

Probably the best hotel in town. Room was in general good condition and felt clean. Locationwise it helps to have a car otherwise taxi might be required but it is only a short ride into town. Staff were very friendly and helpful. A very good experience.

Recommended. Clean, comfortable, secure parking. Good breakfast was included, which had eggs cooked to order, plenty of fresh fruit and several other buffet items. I had inadvertently left my computer at the previous hotel we'd stayed at and asked the front desk for assistance in having it shipped to me. One of the reception clerks was very helpful in reuniting me with my computer. Overall, staff was friendly and attentive. Grounds are pleasant as well.
