This was the second stay, but second stay in a room with no view. Pretty dark and basement like unfortunately, the room was depressing. Only stayed one night this time. Wouldn’t go back for a stay in a similar room. Sorry

The pictures showed rooms with a bath tub as well as a shower. We assumed we could choose either room/expecting a tub as well. When we get to the room there is no tub and we mention this to the front staff, nothing was done to fix this. We were told they couldn’t change our room because we booked externally. We were also told that breakfast ended at 11 and when we showed up the next morning it had ended at 10.

Checkin- 45 minute wait Keys to access room didn’t work for entire stay - had to wait 15-20 minutes to be left into room each time. No house cleaning Couldn’t speak to manager Front desk would not answer phones to assist us during our stay We were told we would receive a refund and upon Expedia’s request for refund approval, the Hilton went back on their word and refused the refund. Overall, horrible experience. I will never stay at a Hilton again, and will be sure to advise others to follow suit.

I send my clothes down to be cleaned. I mean jogging pants and leggings and T-shirts. All I want it wasn’t really washed and dried. I sent out one basket. They tried to charge me $360. This is ridiculous I could buy the amount of clothes for $360.

Key card system was not working took hours for anyone who checked in to get keys to their room. You had to wait for housekeeping to come let you into your room. Could have been anyone wanting to get into a room as they did not verify you were in that room. They charged me twice for my room no clue how long before that is fixed a refunded to me. I rented a room in this hotel specifically because they had a pool. There was not a moment that the pool was not filled to capacity with children. They close the pool at 11pm and even up until that time you did not have an opportunity to have a relaxing swim. They really need to have dedicated hours for adults only.

Parking was terrible. Not enough spaces and had to wait a long time before getting a spot. Then had to pay $15 per vehicle (2 vehicles) to park there. Check in took over 30 minutes. Other than that it was a nice place. Did not use food or beverage service, however I could not reach the so I g room or front desk by phone to request a cork screw.

This was our first time at this hotel and it was really enjoyable. The building is very new, modern, and clean. We had two queen beds and the rooms were very spacious. They also provided lots of towels so you didnt have to keep calling for more! Only downsides were only 2 elevators so could be waiting a while, pool was small and crowded and i asked for a fan and they brought up one in a box that I had to assemble myself. Would definitely stay here again as the rate and value were great too.

I stayed there a full ten days. it was in the low season so the Hotel was not full capacity except for the St Patrick weekend. The room was clean , had a nice view to the Harbour. Good bed, the coffee offer in the room was terrible. The breakfast was not included, and was of medium quality for the price I had to pay. But this are little things to the overall package. I would rate it an 8.5 / 10
