First Saturday in Johannesburg

Charles Apple, visual journalist and instructor, is in South Africa doing some consulting work in Johannesburg. Charles stayed at the Garden Plaza Milwood, a part of the Southern Sun Hotel chain of South Africa (until recently this hotel was was a Holiday Inn), and dined at the MacRib at the Hotel. Here's what he thought:

" The front desk of the hotel is always busy. At nearly any time of night or day, you’ll walk by to find guests three- or four-deep, waiting to do business. My advice to these guys, should they want it: Double the desk staff. Especially from, say, 6 to 9 p.m."
"Every day, I have to stand in a long line at the front desk in order to purchase bandwidth... This is a good example of a hotel not really having a clue as to the needs of the modern international traveler. When this place is packed next year with Americans and Europeans — then, they’ll understand. "
"There were times I would have sworn I’m in Florida — if not for the left-side-of-the-road thing. Many of the buildings on this side of Johannesburg are nice and modern and you see palm trees everywhere"
