Poor value for the money we paid. And would not stay again.
Pros:

The location was very useful for Port and city.

Cons:

Terrible service by the French waiter in the restaurant 😑 absolutely appalling attitude. We complained to the manager but to be honest we Imagine he's heard it all before.Our window on the 5th floor was broken and litteraly screwed down. The air con barely worked. Though we were given a very noisy portable one.

Pleasant stay but too far from city centre
Pros:

Friendly helpful staff who were happy to help with anything.

Cons:

Car parking charge. Room too expensive for what we had in the room. No bottled water in the room. We had no hand towels or bath mat in the room but the staff gave us some when we asked.

Not worth the money we paid. They double the rates for cruises or concerts.
Pros:

Free parking for disabled badge holders

Cons:

Air conditioning not working properly, never knew when and if you would get fresh towels or if your room was going to be cleaned, lucky if you had water pressure at night for a shower.
Excuses from hotel it's always hot at the top of the hotel, if that is so then perhaps you need to upgrade your air-conditioning.

very disappointed in the room with the noisy old mattresses.
Pros:

Front desk folks were very nice and got us in a bit before our reservation. Hilton Honors helped Fish and chips at dinner was great, even the chef came out to make sure everything was fine.

Cons:

The mattress was all springs...made lots of noise. No electrical outlet in bathroom. No night light. No bath mat so was very slippery and dangerous. Room for 2 but only 1 chair, makes no sense.
