Not worth the money
Pros:

The view

Cons:

The room layout is not guest friendly. No vanity, not enough power sockets, which are in odd locations.
Basic hilton Honours are not honoured. In some a very disappointing stay

Skønt hotel, med god mad og service. For dårligt at deres strand ikke er gratis når man er gæst.

Lækker morgenad og fint udvalg.
