Great location and this Hilton’s was lovely, although the room was a tad dated, much like other Hilton’s we’ve stayed in round the world. Staff were very helpful. Only one disappointment is that this hotel was consistent in the fact that the AC was terrible. Again, the same as other Hiltons we have stayed in. Malaga, Spain being a prime example.
