Our room at the Hilton was wonderful. We had two big windows with lovely views. You could leave the Hilton and walk anywhere to many shops and restaurants without any problems as well as the 5th Avenue Mall.

Plus, Regent has a desk there - if you take your luggage to the bellman in the morning before the cruise they will handle loading it on the truck to get to Whittier (your luggage doesn't go on the train with you). We brought our luggage down before 9 and it was gone right away. Then, when we were ready to go to the train station it was a simple 5 minute walk with our two small carry on bags.
