Location is good, Hilton by name, but didn't excel as I expected. There are plenty of others that are just as clean and comfy.

Good location. Parking not explained well in either the wotif site or the Hilton site & the staff weren’t clear with their instructions. Property is a little old and dated with a damp musty smell in the rooms.

Pool area was lovely. Nice relaxing area. Didn't like the price. Overpriced for what you got. Nothing flash. Just a standard room with a barhtub/spa. Guests were allowed to smoke on their verandas so we couldn't use ours. I thought it was a no smoking hotel. Also got woken by Room service banging on our door to deliver something we didn't order.

Location and rooms were clean. The staff were always welcoming. The only downfall is the awful smell that lingers in the lobby area from the nearby bins.
