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.

Comfortable enough. Would consider staying again.
Pros:

Location close to Shopping, downtown and Waikiki. Spacious clean room. Breakfast was a good perk.

Cons:

Noisy. Lot of street noise at night six floors up (could hear people having a normal conversation in the street) and from neighbouring room and hallway.

Great choice to avoid Waikiki
Pros:

Staff is super friendly.

Location is great especially if you want a bit of a less touristy area, the Ala Moana beach is reachable by foot or bus and it's in my opinion better thank Waikiki beach and way less busy. Lots of buses to other places close by. Big supermarkets nearby.

Breakfast is great if you're not vegan and super cheap! My favourite was the bagel and yogurt with granola, but there's big heavy choices too.

Cons:

If you don't want meat or dairy at breakfast you should go out for breakfast.

The bathroom felt a little bit dated, the kind that might not look sparkly clean even if it is.

Cons:

The overall vibe. This place could be made waaayy better if a proper designer was involved. The renovation feels cheaply done and not thought out.
