Disappointed

I am a resident to this Island. Could not access the internet in my room. Business center internet system was extremely SLOW. Shower: tub drained very-very slow, standing in water. TV had a black line (in the picture tube) across the screen, blocking the picture. I should be compensated for the trouble. Wm E. Brown

pre-cruise accomodations

We were only staying for one night before leaving on a cruise. The hotel was fine...our room and the restaurant were dated and I wouldn't want to spend my whole vacation there. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was nice as we were able to walk to a lot of shopping and the beach. For a one-night stay it wasn't bad. Taxi fare from the airport was $35 so you might consider something closer if you don't need the shopping or beach.

Shopping tip: Short walk from hotel

If you don't mind walking in fantastic weather and seeing the community, the mall was only about 1.5 miles from the hotel. It was a beautiful walk. There is an open-air trolley for $2.00 that will also take you around Waikiki.

decent hotel met our needs.

short walk to downtown and the beaches, friendly staff, maintenance fixed our tub quickly, not supper nice by any means, but we were only in our room to sleep so it was very adequate for our needs. nice sized fridge allowed us to stock up on groceries. 20$/day parking was an extra expense we had not counted on.

Great location, price

The location and price were what made me want to book my room here. It wasnt bad, but it does need that something extra...but all I really needed was a place to sleep and the beds were comfy. So overall Im glad I stayed. Parking was the only issue.
