The hotel was clean, comfortable, and quiet, making it a welcoming place to rest after a long day. While the historical decor added charm, there was a slight moldy smell when ventilation was lacking.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were relatively small and could use a makeover, but the noisy surroundings took away from the comfort. On the bright side, the service was outstanding and the location offered easy access to key attractions on the island.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel. The rooms, although a bit dated, were incredibly clean and provided just enough space for two people. The service was outstanding, filled with genuine aloha spirit, especially when they went out of their way to match our rate for a poolside room. The location was superb, close to downtown, the airport, and with easy access to beaches and parks. The dining experience at the Coconut Grill was excellent, serving a delicious breakfast that I truly enjoyed. Overall, a great value for the money.

I can't say enough about this hotel's amazing location! It's just a short distance from the airport and major shopping areas, making it super convenient. The staff here were incredibly welcoming and helpful, and the service was top-notch. On the downside, the noise levels in the rooms could be a bit bothersome at night, and the hotel seemed a bit far from the front desk.

The hotel has king or queen beds but the room was tiny for a family of 4, noisy being next to the road and gas station, and not serviced on one day. The staff was friendly and helpful, but the handling of the room issue lacked apology. Great location near Liliuokalani gardens but noisy due to the road and gas station.

The hotel was simple and nice, with a bit of outdated feel to it. The rooms looked like cell blocks with very small windows, and seating was limited to the corridor. The service was genuinely nice and happy, going above-and-beyond to match our rate. The location was convenient, close to the airport and beautiful parks, but not in the town center. The dining experience was excellent with a good value breakfast. The facilities were well-kept and provided a Hawaiian restaurant experience.

The hotel is conveniently located near the airport and shopping areas, making it great for travelers with a car. The rooms, though a bit of a trek from the main area and lacking coffee makers, were comfy but noisy due to traffic. The service really stood out with the staff being extremely friendly and accommodating, especially in ensuring safety. However, the location's proximity to a flight path and road caused significant noise disturbances. The dining experience was a mix of great coconut syrup but disappointing in other aspects. Overall, a good pick for those who value friendly service and convenient access to shopping areas.
