Our family enjoys staying here. It is convenient to the Entertainment Centre which is where my daughter performs every year in her dance concert. The staff are always friendly and too happy to help. Rooms are lovely and plenty for what we need. This stay we got upgraded to a one bedroom king suite which was absolutely swank! We loved it!

Loved the area. Staff were great - friendly and helpful. I have to admit, though, to being taken aback when I saw a $9.95/day internet charge on my invoice. It had been automatically credited off the account, but I was still negatively surprised. I haven't seen a hotel that charges for WiFi in ages. Makes me have second thoughts about staying at Hilton going forward.
