The hotel is very convenient to all of the shopping, restaurants, and Marina. It is very easy to get to every single thing that you need. There’s also a full-size grocery store with an easy walking distance. The staff at the hotel is extremely friendly and very helpful as well. The only item that needs improvement is the cleanliness of the hot tub. It definitely needs to be checked more often.

I loved the view but prefer the Double tree Hilton up the road for the little touches. Not enough tea and coffee in the room and no facility to warm milk for coffee just little things but considering the expense … otherwise lovely clean comfortable rooms within walking distance to everything

Someone stole the chromecast from my room and so because of that we couldn’t watch any movies at the same time our shower wasn’t working so the waters was warm/cold most of the time, not a really fun experience and we love stay at Hilton’s as we always do when we travel from Osaka, Vietnam and Sydney. This is the very first time we had all of these inconveniences and wasn’t fun at all.

With the money you pay, don't expect it to go towards maintenance of the hotel (don't look up), nor towards a hot water system. The showers and taps were lukewark at best but even then cut out into full cold randomly. Also, should you want your room serviced be prepared to ask 3 times and still have to wait until 4pm.
