"First the good: location was just a 5min walk to Don Quixote, short drive (8min) to the cruise port and close to lots of bus stops. The staff was friendly and was able to accomodate our request for a late check out. They offered $5 breakfast that was quite hardy and tasty. Now the bad: This was rated as a 3 star hotel so I expected it to be on par with a Hampton Inn. Especially since the pictures made the place look quite decent and it has good reviews. Instead this felt closer to a motel. There is no AC in the lobby, also there isn't a front desk staff 24/7 (so just be aware if you are coming in between hours of midnight and let's say 6am). The rooms were fitted with a window AC, so while it did have AC, the AC was really loud and didn't keep the room to a very consistent temperature nor did it reduce any humidity. And as someone who doesn't handle humidity or heat, this was definitely an issue. While the room looked clean when I first got in, I found a cockroach on my bed! I was so freaked out I barely slept. Luckily we were only there for 1 night before heading to a cruise, otherwise I would have looked to move to better lodgings."

"Great location"

"Convenient location to Kalakaua stores and restaurants. Nice walking park next door."

"We were disappointed in our room - the ocean view was only if you were on the balcony, otherwise it was a city view. The room itself had seen better days. We were in the alohilani tower - tried to go to the pool on 5 but access was closed and we were directed to the swell tower for access. Too much trouble for us. There was no lobby bar - maybe because Morimoto was closed for repairs, and the Momosan restaurant was outside. The drive up appeal was lovely. The pool was busy - the music was pumping. Not our jam but seemed popular. We did enjoy the complimentary beach gear provided by Beach Candy a couple blocks away and the beach itself was good. I guess $500 a night doesn’t buy what we were expecting. Kudos to the young employee who encountered us getting off the elevator and showed us our room and explained the amenities - he was the best part of our stay!"
