We had a lovely stay however was really inconvenienced when a faulty air con system made a loud buzzing noise at 3am which needed reception to turn off. If it hadn’t been for this I would have rated you 5 stars.

Stairs in the room corridors, difficult to manage with suitcases (consider building ramps instead, as I've experienced in other hotels). Room/bathroom was roomy & nice but noise from adjoining room was unreasonable and mattress was very hard.

Getting around in the hotel was challenging. We had to go to various levels and long hallways with many direction changes to get to our room. Restaurant food was very plain, and service was slow. Lobster Bisque was very salty, and the fish and chips was probably the least tasty of the 10 plus places thar we had fish and chips. Beds were very firm and not very comfortable. On a positive note, the staff at the front desk were very friendly and accommodating. .

It was worse than disappointment. I felt I was insulted by both Expedia and Hilton. First, neither the Expedia nor Hilton informed us that the hotel was under construction. Due to the construction, elevator access to the our floor was not a direct one. We had to take one elevator from the reception area to floor 1. Then, we had to walk around the restaurant take the stair a few steps down then a few steps up on another stair and get to the second elevator taking us to our floor which was numbered as a negative. yes our floor was a negative number)??!! Inside the room was quiet with temporary cheap carpet but the bathroom did not have a ventilation. If one person used the bathroom for shower for example all the steam and .... would cover the main area of the room. This was also an issue of the construction which was hidden from us because there was a panel in the ceiling of the bath room which was covering the future a/c outlet or vent. This made the stay in the hotel very unpleasant. The bath room door from inside contained water damage. There were not many guests in the hotel. The floor numbers were from -4 to 5. I know there were rooms similar to ours on upper floors that certainly had direct elevator access and probably better bath room. Based on my previous experience with Hilton, in San Francisco (I am a Hilton Honors Member) when you make a reservation through a travel agency like Expedia you will be treated as a lesser guest.
