I had a wonderful weekend at the Hub boutique hotel in Port Elizabeth. The room was clean and comfortable with a nice balcony, and the friendly staff truly made my stay enjoyable. However, a previous experience where I had to switch rooms due to cigarette smoke really highlighted some inconsistencies. Overall, it's a great spot near shopping centers, but improvements in room conditions would enhance the experience.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The staff, particularly the management, were accommodating and made my stay feel more personal, especially during a tough time.
