Categories

Cleanliness
5
Multiple guests reported cockroaches and issues with room cleanliness; housekeeping is present but pests and maintenance problems (e.g., noisy AC blowing debris/noise) negatively impacted perceived cleanliness.
Service
9.8
Repeated praise for reception and staff (helpful, courteous, accommodating early check-in, staff member Debby singled out, arranged parking and vouchers); service is a clear strength across reviews.
Location
8.5
Consistently described as very strategic/close to Ala Moana, Walmart, Don Quixote and good transportation links; some notes that the beach is a decent walk away.
Room Quality
6.8
Rooms described as comfortable and spacious but marred by an old, noisy air-conditioning unit allowing street noise, occasional loud pool-adjacent music and lack of tubs in some rooms.
Amenities
7.4
Facilities generally good with a small pool and helpful restaurant staff; paid extras (microwave fee) and limited pool/no-tub amenities reduce the score slightly.
Value for Money
7.8
Guests appreciated $5 breakfast vouchers and parking assistance which improved perceived value; paid add-ons and some maintenance issues temper the value assessment.
Food and Beverage
8.5
Breakfast and restaurant service received positive mentions (vouchers, attentive servers who refill drinks), contributing positively to this category.
Overall Experience
7
Overall stays were generally positive due to service and location, but noise (AC, pool music), check-in timing constraints and cleanliness issues lowered the overall impression for some guests.

I give it 7 out of 10. No room for stays less than 4 days. service. I wouldn’t stay here again for that reason.
Pros:

Remodeled. Close to restaurants and shopping

Cons:

No room service; unless, your stay is over 4 days.

Great location, price is right, and wonderful breakfast! Makes it an easy choice for returning locals and visitors!
Pros:

Convenience location and that $5 breakfast. As a returning local it really brings home back as these were my stomping grounds growing up attending Kaahumanu, Washington and Lincoln. And seeing the Like Like sign still up!!! Priceless. Many meals with Auntie Carol (waitress)!! I will always return there!!

Cons:

Garbage truck noise so early in the morning.

Pros:

It was a good value for downtown Honolulu. Plenty of places to eat nearby. It was just an overnight stay waiting on a flight for us.

Relativement confortable mais pas assez central.
Pros:

On reçoit un voucher pour un petit déjeuner à 5 dollars. Il faut sortir pour le prendre dans un établissement voisin, mais il est excellent. A part cela, la chambre était correct et le prix acceptable.

Cons:

J'avais choisi cet hôtel pour la première nuit à Honolulu parce que j'arrivais assez tard le soir et qu'il était le plus proche de l'aéroport, mais il est assez isolé. Dans les alentours immédiats, il n'y a rien d'intéressant. Plus tard, j'ai séjourné à Waikiki même et c'était beaucoup mieux, du point de vue de la situation géographique.

Fajn hotel s velmi dobrou snídaní
Pros:

Prostorný čistý pokoj i koupelna. Dochozí vzdálenost na Waikiki beach. Blízko autobusů i obchodů. Velmi milý a nápomocný personál. Možnost parkování. Možnost využití prádelny. Bazén. Výborná snídaně za 5 $.

Cons:

Hluk z venku i ve 12. patře. Bazén je malý, ale na osvěžení určitě dostačující. Cena 33 $ za parkování. Depozit za pokoj.
