Average
Pros:

The view of the harbor was nice.

Cons:

When booking with Booking.com the hotels always give me the shittiest room available and it does not count toward my rewards with that hotel chain.

Pros:

The location is convenient. The room was clean.

Cons:

Booked the room with breakfast. The staff didn't believe me. Had to pay for my breakfast again. Miserable situation when you have to complain about $20, and the staff is not supportive. Sent a message in booking and never got a response. Don't book through booking, use the Hilton website.

Pros:

I like the girl serving me breakfast, she is really nice and considerate.

Cons:

When I checked out, the male African American receptionist is really rude. When I didn’t hear clear what he was saying, I said” I beg your pardon”, and he just waved his hand saying “ you just go” like waving a dog, it is so humiliating.
