Walking around without an early checkin option seemed like a waste of valuable relaxation time.
Pros:

Close to cruise port

Cons:

They didn’t have a way to checkin early. Almost all ppl cruising, had late night flights out. We had to wait til 3pm

Conveniently located with helpful staff
Pros:

The staff were very friendly and helpful. It was difficult handling that many cruise passengers at one time, but they were great! They stored our luggage before check-in and even gave us a place to shower after we checked out. The location was perfect. We walked to the hotel from the cruise ship with all of our luggage and we were able to walk to the market, the park, restaurants, grocery stores, and a pharmacy.

Cons:

I didn't like having to ask for a hair dryer, but it wasn't difficult to get one. There is one elevator and it isn't very large. We did not try the breakfast, because it appeared to be very expensive. We found several places we could go within walking distance of the hotel.

Pros:

Was close to noisy bar which fortunately stopped at 11pm, room was surprisingly spacious. Very comfortable. Nice shower, bed. Couldn’t work out how to turn bathroom lights off. Our plane left early so couldn’t have breakfast.

Nice place to stay
Pros:

Central location, nice facility, strong WiFi, good window sound-proofing, cafes and restaurants near by.

Cons:

Hallway noise: people talking, door closing, especially the elevator that gives a high pitch beep when any button is pressed.

Cher pour ce que c’ est !
Pros:

La qualité de la literie, c'est propre, c'est près de la gare maritime. Le personnel est gentil

Cons:

Tres cher , soit disant parce que c'est en plein centre-ville, j'avais pas remarqué que j'étais aux Champs-Élysées...Il n'y a pas d'extérieur, il n'y a aucune fenetre qui s'ouvre ou tres peu il n'y a pas de vue ou très peu. Un pauvre petit sachet de thé à côté de la bouilloire. Pas de seche cheveux.
Le petit déjeuner n’est pas terrible, dans une salle , tout est fermé par des rideaux, froid, aseptisé, pas d’ exterieur, le quartier n'est pas sympa. Et de toute manière papeete est très moche!! Heureusement que le reste de l'île est belle

Perfect choice for an overnight before taking the ferry
Pros:

Staff was so friendly! Location was perfect for the ferry. The building was super cool on the outside! The bed was comfy, the rooms were very small but very clean. It is perfect for an overnight before taking the ferry, would be difficult to stay longer.

Cons:

Small room
