We stayed in the Hilton Hotel waterfront for 2 nights. Check-in was abysmal, as we had a wait of over 2 hours as our corner seafacing room wasn't ready! We were unaware prior to arrival that this hotel is dog friendly and therefore we had sleepless nights with dog(s) crying/ barking. Hotel well situated within easy walk to restaurants, gaslight district and seafront attractions.

Everything worked well, with no problems. Our steward was very polite and courteous and when the hired tux had not arrived, for the following evening formal dinner, he attended to the matter promptly.

We had decided on anytime dining which worked well as we could dine with new found friends. Read more
