Everything was good, but no coffee on trays to make early before leaving.... other than that the staff are helpful and its good value for money. How much more of a story can one say to write 200 characters ?????????????????????????????????????/

The location of the hotel was fantastic. Rooms were clean and neat. This road lodge has a small lcd tv instead of the old smaller one the other road lodges have. Unfortunately reception staff and housekeeping do not respond well. My room was not made till 3pm despite me asking reception at 9am. Even when it was done there was... More

My husband and recently spent two nights at The Road Lodge, Port Elizabeth. Our room was small, basic, small shower, but exceptionally clean and value for money considering it was in the prime position on Marine Drive, beachfront, next to the Boardwalk Casino and other well-known hotels. If you are looking for a clean and basic place to rest while... More

Stayed over in Road lodge in Nelspruit and the one in Durban. For the price you pay you get excellent value for your money, rooms might be rather small but more than adequate, tv is big enough to watch unless like some foreign guests you are blind.

An impressive looking hotel overlooking the sea ! Rooms were very tired looking and in need of a re-vamp. A tv the size of a postage stamp. Listened to cranes operating on a construction site next door until 8-30 p.m. Breakfast. The only available table was full of dirty crockery and the staff took 7 minutes to remove them. Staff...

Very good value for money, basic room, no fridge, bad service, unfriendly staff, variety of restaurants to choose from to bring take-aways - food not good at all ... but overall not bad for just one night

We chose this hotel because we had a late arrival into P.E. and an early departure the next day. We couldn't see the sense in paying more when we really just needed a place to crash. We wanted multiple rooms for the family and tried to email ahead to confirm this. The hotel didn't respond to emails, but were happy... More

It is in one of the best areas of Humewood literally a 2-3 minute walk to the boardwalk. There is ample free parking, and the staff was nice enough. The rooms were very... More

Official Description (provided by the hotel):
Please be aware that our Road Lodge Port Elizabeth is undergoing a "soft" refurbishment to ensure that it maintains its high standard for guests. The hotel's public area will also be refurbished. The entire process is expected to be completed by the end of November. Inconvenience for guests will be kept to an absolute minimum. Road Lodge Port Elizabeth is situated on Marine Drive in the Boardwalk Casino and Resort complex, directly opposite the famed Humewood International Beach of the Eastern Cape. Situated 8 minutes from the CBD and 5 minutes from Port Elizabeth Airport. This is the best value in the City Lodge Group of hotels. The same rate is charged whether there is one, two or even three people sharing the comfortably furnished and tastefully decorated rooms. ... more   less
