Perfect location, helpful staff. Room was spacious, beds and pillows really comfortable - exactly what you expect from a Hilton property. Vines restaurant was outstanding - especially enjoyed the cocktails. The only thing that was a little disappointing was the cleanliness of the balcony and the air conditioning dripped water resulting in the whole room feeling wet and smelling damp.
