Fabulous hotel in a great location, very friendly staff who couldn’t do enough for us
Breakfast options was immaculate. Very comfortable bed and the ambience was nice in the hotel.
Sofa in room and chairs in lobby could use a steam cleaning though.
Good breakfast offerings albeit very busy and some guests desperately hungry. Nice pool and good gym. Entrance foyer doesn’t have any real ambience although there is a coffee shop and the in house nightclub can get quite loud. Friendly staff. Room serviced each day. It’s a Hilton.
