Guests say
Guests generally appreciated the hotel's location, highlighting its proximity to the waterfront and excellent views. Cleanliness was also praised, with many noting the tidy and spacious rooms. However, there were significant complaints regarding the service, including issues at check-in and rude staff. The breakfast options were especially criticized, with many guests feeling that it was overpriced or not provided at all. Overall, while the hotel has some redeeming features, many guests felt it fell short of expectations, particularly in terms of value for money.

I like its view to the river . I don't like that we wait too long for having our room ready.

Teresita, Nov 2020
Pros (+) The breakfast was good for being a hotel lobby. There is only one cook and the cashier is the server. That makes for slow service.
Cons (-) The bed was old and sunken in the center. I requested a room change and was accommodated immediately. I had higher expectations for a Hilton hotel.

Pros (+) Clean, helpful staff, excellent location, price not unreasonable (but not a deal either). We booked night before and got a room overlooking rooftop A/C units, but that was our fault.
Cons (-) One small patio with indirect view of the harbor from about 20% of it. The hotel needs to offer more lounge space with a direct view of the river - it's right there, so tantalizing - and we were told the only lounge area was the small patio off the lobby bar. Disappointing.
