My wife and I booked two separate rooms, one for ourselves and one for my in-laws. Thank goodness the room my in-laws got room 535, was decent and clean and did have an amazing view of the bay. Our room, however, room 533 was dated, tattered, not clean, the shower smelled like sulfur, and when engineering came to fix the problem, they left dirty boot prints all over the bathroom floor. Needless to say, we will not be staying here again and for future guests, I would recommend going to check your room before checking in. We were so disappointed, it was supposed to be a special evening. We were going to a concert at Humphries’s by the bay and specifically wanted to have a very nice date night. And it was anything but. I am a Hilton honors member and do you expect more from a Hilton property. Just disappointed.

We stayed at the one-bedroom suite for several nights in November. We loved the kitchen, quiet room, friendly staff, and and convenient hotel location. It is walkable to the dock and nearby little Italy town. +10 minutes to the zoo and Sea World. The free breakfast was delicious and has healthy choices. Highly recommended.

The check in area and surrounding patios are beautiful. The lounges were decorated nicely and gave an upscale vibe. Room was clean and welcoming. View was very odd however, as if we had our curtains open people walking in the hallway could see us. Because of this we could not leave the curtains open to let natural light in. The pool and hot tub area were very dirty. There was a heavy chlorine smell that burned your eyes. We couldn’t even tolerate it for 5 minutes. The hot tub had foamy dirty water floating around. Also 60 dollars a night to park is very expensive. With no option for self park and valet only is not our preference but to each their own. Also was put off a bit when I waited in line to check out I was met with a terse “what do you want?” Then when I stated I just wanted to check out she took the key cards from me and said “ok thanks”.
