I will find out if this breakfast rule really applies (though I am afraid it really will). HELOSC you are basically right, this is a very nice hotel and I would return without hesitance. The EL is well maintained and a very staffed with a very nice and helpful person, Paula, who looks well after all guests. She is absolutely helpful and a pleasure to talk to.

We do not have a corner room, ours is on the small side but after all, it is a nice room. I know that the sea view involves some traffic noise from that small street below the Hilton. I will see from tomorrow but enjoy tonight. I will report back.
