great location helpful staff executive lounge bad food old carpet stuck door
the location is excellent. it is only a five minute walk to the reef terminal. the staff were also very friendly and helpful (a real asset). i appreciated the snacks and canapés at the executive lounge.
the room service food was pretty bad. i found the ceasar salad lettuce old. the carpet was old and ripped in some parts. the sliding door to our balcony was stuck and hard to open.

Wonderful stay at the Waterfront hotel
comfortable air conditioning in-room safe complimentary parking
I stayed six nights in a Beautiful King Room Water View. The room featured comfortable air conditioning (easy to manage) and an in-room safe. I received complimentary parking because there was no room upgrade available for my Hilton Honors Gold status (a great gesture). I also took advantage of the reasonably priced laundry service.
Rooms

The room had plenty of horizontal space for luggage and toiletries. The bed featured comfy pillows. I enjoyed the excellent water view from the room.

The breakfast buffet offered many options. I found gluten-free options available too. The executive lounge served an adequate breakfast (especially helpful to avoid restaurant queues).

a bit underwhelming, i must say
dated room casino noise
the location was pretty convenient, near the marina and some restaurants i guess.
The room felt rather dated, those robe doors looked like something out of the seventies. they did not even close properly. plus, the noise from the nearby casino kept me up until the early hours. What a bummer, .
