Very Nice!
Pros:

Everyone was very friendly, clean fairly large room, and comfortable bed. We only had the free breakfast once during our stay because we had tours scheduled that required us to leave before they started serving breakfast. But overall, a very nice place to stay.

Cons:

We had some difficulty at first figuring out how to get to the parking area of the hotel. Our GPS kept telling us to turn a block sooner, but that wasn't the motel's fault.

Handige lokatie tov de luchthaven met gratis shuttle.
Pros:

De lokatie is perfect voor als je van de luchthaven komt of naar de luchthaven moet. Het hotel biedt een gratis shuttle aan die 1 keer per uur uitrijdt.

Cons:

Het ontbijt is echt ondermaats. Vettig en goedkoop eten. Maar gezien de prijs, is het ergens normaal. Als je de man die je normaalgezien met je bagage helpt, niet meteen een tip geeft, trekt hij een lang gezicht en is hij weg.

Convenient place for a night close to the airport
Pros:

The rooms a large and the hotel is located close to the airport, so great for a night rest before or after travelling. The hotel has a convenient airport shuttle service. Also close to Pearl Harbour. Rooms are large and comfortable and a good breakfast is included.

Cons:

Outside, around the pool and on balconies, the noise of the nearby highway traffic is very loud, making it look nice on photos but a less attractive place to hang out. In the rooms, we heard the traffic much less so no problem to sleep.

Convenience
Pros:

The free breakfast although simple does provide convenience for the guests.
The location is very close to the airport. It only takes 15 minutes by walking to get to the hotel. There are buses in front of the hotel to directly get to Waikiki. The

Cons:

The hotel is a little bit old. Maybe it needs some renovations in the future.

Convenient But Very Noisy and Poor Service
Pros:

Very close to the airport
Good shuttle bus service
Large room
Small basic gym
Reasonable breakfast

Cons:

Despite having booked, prepaid (had a receipt) and having received a confirmation message from the hotel - they claimed I did not have a booking when I arrived.

The receptionist was not particularly helpful - let alone friendly. She blamed Booking.com. However a room was magically found when I phoned Booking.com Customer Service who got onto the hotel very promptly. No apology (even just for "a mixup") was ever offered.

The room was very, very noisy : it fronted directly into a Highway, Tollway and major road (all next to each other so 8 lanes of fast traffic - each way - in under 75 yds / m). Windows were single glazed and even some of the window seals had perished / had air gaps. The traffic noise was very intrusive and relentless all through the night.

There was a cockroach in the bathroom.

Water was not very hot.

Bed was lumpy.

Limited eating choices (mainly fast food outlets) nearby.
