Excellent anniversary stay
Pros:

Our stay was so special. Tired, busy parents of young kids. We requested the quietest, coolest room available as a last minute, convenient get away for our anniversary. The room was wonderful, they left us a welcome pack with chocolate, popcorn and a drink and drinks voucher and a very lovely card wishing us a happy anniversary and pleasant stay away from the littlies. So thoughtful. Then we used our drinks voucher and had a lovely meal. The mango chicken salad was excellent, I chose the teriyaki salmon. They were out of quinoa, sadly and said they would serve with rice. This was a bit bland. I gave this feedback and they took this off the bill. They made our desert extra special by presenting it with a 'happy anniversary'. We really appreciated these special touches, so much so that we will definitely do this again as it's an easy spot for us. Thank you Team Hilton for putting the thought in, we have been amazed by your efforts and had a lovely break!
