Loved the location and the friendly staff. This is an older hotel so things need to be fixed (slow elevators, hardly abl
Pros:

Great location. Friendly and helpful staff.

Cons:

The elevators were inadequate. VERY slow and often packed. Seems like it took a minute to open each time; If it was stopped on multiple floors, the trip was excruciating! One of the three was out of order but fixed within a reasonable time frame.

Pros:

The hotel is conveniently located on Ala Moana Blvd., the W bus route is just a few feet from the hotel, ~45-minute trip to/from the Daniel K Inouye Airport. It's about a 15- minute easy walk to Ala Moana Shopping Center. IHOP is right next door, the hotel offers a discount. The staff is friendly. Fairly good value for money, in comparison to other nearby hotels. Amenities were suitable. Coffee maker/coffee was a plus, as opposed to going out to search for a cuppa.

Cons:

Elevator was a bit slow, but c'est la vie. The bathroom was tiny, but ok for a solo traveler. Street noise was... well, it's a city.

Pros:

Апартаменты не новые с небольшим износом, но кровать достаточно удобная и в апартаментах есть все необходимое для комфортного проживания. На кухне было достаточно посуды. Посудомойка в рабочем состоянии, есть кофеварка и тостер. Были также предоставлены бытовые моющие средства и пылесос. В ванной было достаточно гель для душа, шампунь, кондиционер для волос, туалетная бумага и лосьон для тела. Описываю это , потому что не все апартаменты предлагают такой обширный набор туалетных принадлежностей.Также приятно ,что хозяева предоставили пляжные стулья, зонтик, полотенца и даже сумка холодильник. Это было актуально. Хозяева обо всем позаботились и были на связи когда у нас возникали вопросы. По поводу запаха еды, который описывали в отзывах. То нас это не беспокоило так как если закрыть окно, то запаха нет, а так же запах не постоянно. Понравилось ,что окно и балкон не выходит на улицу, поэтому довольно таки тихо. До пляжа 8 мин пешком до пляжа Kahanamoku Beach ( удобный для плавания), до пляжа Waikiki 21 мин. через красивый парк. В самом здании с апартаментами есть рестораны где можно перекусить. Мы остались довольны.
The apartment is not brand new and shows some signs of wear, but it did not affect our stay at all. The bed was comfortable, and the apartment had everything we needed for a pleasant vacation.

The kitchen was well equipped with plenty of dishes, a dishwasher in good working order, a coffee maker, and a toaster. Cleaning supplies and a vacuum cleaner were also provided, which was very convenient.

I'd also like to mention the bathroom amenities because not every apartment offers such a generous selection. There was plenty of shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body lotion, and toilet paper throughout our stay.

Another thoughtful touch was the beach equipment provided by the hosts. We were able to use beach chairs, an umbrella, beach towels, and even a cooler bag, which was extremely useful.

The price of the room was not worth the quality of trhhe room at all.
Pros:

Great location

Cons:

I felt clusterfobic in that room. It felt cramped with no ability to get fresh air. Bathroom was extra small with a small Tub and the aircondition did not cut off at all the noise of the fan was irritating. I did not pay a good price for the room.
