For a Hilton Hotel I expected a little more
Pros:

Nice foyer and restaurant to walk into. Staff very helpful and friendly. Clean and comfy beds.
Easy free parking in open air carpark in a great location.

Cons:

But then you get in/out of the lifts going to hotel rooms and you can tell you’re in an old building that has been partially done up. Balcony felt too scary to stand on, water pressure just dribbled out. Carpet looked dated. Overall it was clean and comfortable but could possibly find nicer.

No pool towels available and staff were not willing to offer an alternative ie. a clean bath towel would have worked!! Wine glasses were left in the hallway for days
