AC Hotel by Marriott Cape Town Waterfront
Staff was judicious, helpful and friendly. It was clean and plenty of little niceties like iced tea in the lobby along with little sweet gelatin bits. (I don’t like them, but the gesture was good). When you asked for something for the room, it was delivered quickly.
