Pros: Nice and clean hotel. Friendly staff. Walkable distance from Old Town which was great. Easy parking for a daily fee. Free coffee downstairs in the morning. Cons: No air ventilation in the bathroom or room in general. Windows do not open so no fresh air comes in the room. Due to this the hotel hallways and room was stuffy and stinky at times. Last two days of our 5 day stay were loud at night.

Room was a comfortable setting. Bed frame was very squeaky and needs replacement. I had stayed at another Hilton in Hawaii a couple of weeks ago and I encountered the same issue at this location. Body wash is always out and not replenished throughout the stay. Front desk employees were attentive, made small conversations but nothing that stood out. For the price… I’m not sure I would go back or try another hotel.

This property is nice and comfortable enough once you have a room. The initial check in lady was friendly, attentive and made check in easy. The biggest problem we had with this hotel is we had 2 room changes because the first 2 had a strong smell of BO, enough to jolt you the moment you walk into the room. We had book this same hotel a few years back and had the same issue. When leaving looking out the second room and uncomfortable with having to ask for another room change, I saw one of the cleaning lady’s cleaning a room and her room smelled like Clorox and recently cleaned. We requested her room without realizing that it only had a king bed and sofa bed when we really needed 2 queen beds. We settled there because we did not want to ask for a 3rd room change. This room was clean an overall we made the best of it since we usually just go to old town when we come down there. Disappointed with this hotel, bc I want to like it.
