We had a great time.
Pros:

Gerald at the front desk was very helpful and explained everything. The room was very clean and spacious, with a lovely view of the mountains and Ala Wai Canal. The location was perfect, walking distance within the Waikiki area.

Cons:

I was not made aware that the pool was going to be closed for renovation when I made the reservation.

ホノルルマラソンには最適な場所
Pros:

ホノルルマラソンに参加するために、スタート地点のアラモアナまでの早朝バス用のバス停もゴール地点からも近く、評価も高かったので滞在しました。
部屋が広い、ベッドルームが独立している、バスタブがありシャワーの水量も問題無し、キッチンも使いやすく食器洗い機も洗剤もあり、スーパーも徒歩圏内にあったので惣菜を買ったり簡単な調理をしたり、住んでいるかのように生活できました。ハンガーの数も10本以上ありました。
チェックイン時間より前に到着してしまいましたが、部屋の準備ができたことをメールで連絡してくれたので早く入ることができました。
部屋の鍵は4桁の暗証番号式のため、滞在中も紛失の心配も無く、チェックアウトもスムーズでした。

Cons:

キッチンスポンジや食器洗い洗剤は無いので、必要な場合は持参(百均で洗剤付きのスポンジを念のため持っていったので良かったです)
小さな固形石鹸が2個と小さなチューブタイプのシャンプーが2本はありますが、コンディショナーはありません。
鍋の蓋やターナー(フライ返し)は、前の滞在者が洗っていないままで、汚れていました。
ベッドが柔らかすぎるので、硬いベッドが好きな人には辛いです。

Pros:

Room was not completely cleaned when we arrived. Check in staff only available until 4pm so make sure you arrive before that time, otherwise they’re available by email. Location is convenient, short walk to the beach but the cheap price is what you get.

I was not happy with any aspect of our stay at this hotel.
Pros:

the location was a little difficult to find but we made it. The office staff was nice.

Cons:

the parking was very difficult and spaces were narrow. I didn't realize its also a public parking garage , not just for the hotel guests. The accommodations were in need of some updating and cleaning and the first thing to greet us as we walked through the door was a horrible chemical smell that instantly gave me a headache! They were also doing some renovations above us and across the hall which included drilling, banging and dropping things on the floor just above us. When we complained to the staff they said they would try to move us but never did. At check out they apologized but said there are privately owned units and they have no idea when renovations are being done.

Pros:

They expect you to keep all towels for a week.
They exchange them weekly.
They don’t supply toilet paper, only a few rolls at the beginning of your trip.
No room service unless you want to pay like $80 per day.
They should mention all of this when they offer their rooms so we are aware.
