Awful, stay clear.
Absolutely terrible, i was in an executive suite which was tired and broken. The entire hotel was tired. Staff clearly weren't interested in customers, a smile would maybe help. O checking out the guy just looked at me gestured to say what?. Being a regular visitor, thought i would have a change, big mistake huge! Clearly Hilton are lunching on the brand but delivering well below expectatio . I complained about isses to only receive what seemed a pre packaged message, no substance, just a cafted measage, probably AI generated telling me thanks, but basically go away, we are busy.

It is clean and premium location but definitely was not in the class and luxury of Hiltons elsewhere… major renovations required such as double glazed windows to reduce noise transfer from busy surrounding areas such as Casino next door. The lobby, rooms, corridors need major upgrade. A bit disappointed for what I expected from Hilton

Pleasant stay
Hilton is very well located as it is right in the central hub and it’s easy to get to everything in town . Queue at check-in was long so maybe it’d be good to stagger check-in times . Nonetheless the staff at desk were efficient and friendly . Parking was disappointing as the spaces are small and there are not enough car parks to accomodate everyone .

We had a lovely room overlooking the inlet and wharf. The room was clean and modern. The hotel staff were excellent, very attentive. The breakfast buffet was the best way to start our day, the views from the dining room are perfect and the choice of food was huge. The location was great, even though it’s right on the wharf esplanade it’s not noisy and it’s a short 2-3 minute walk to the cbd. We would go back in the blink of an eye.
