"The great: Great view, nice furniture, very conveniently located in Downtown Honolulu but still close to beaches and a long but doable walk to Waikiki, friendly and helpful staff, clean room, fancy lobby, concierge bag storage on day of check-in/check-out, quiet and drama-free compared to DT Seattle, fairly priced, quick elevators, plenty of chain coffee and convenience stores closeby (McDonalds, Starbucks, 7-11, CU store, JITB) try the local stuff too, good bento place across street, local coffee and maker in-room, good shower, I think the tub had spa jets but we didn't use, cool park across the street, easy walk to Palace & historical Kingdom buildings, Chinatown and Financial District. AC was good, heat wasn't needed!
The less than great: Building was built circa 1984 so some things are showing wear but it seems like the hallway was getting updated on our floor. Amenity fees are similar to Las Vegas resort fees and I guess most places have them so be prepared to pay an additional ~$25/day. If it were up to me, I would upgrade the communal laundry room but we used it and it performed without issue though it reminded me of the laundry room of my 1st apartment in the 1990s. I saw maintenance working hard and watched a crew of 3 transform a patio below by cleaning and maybe regrouting all in about an hour on our first morning and it looked great after so they're keeping it up.
No major issues and we enjoyed our stay. Thank you! We'd rate it 9 out of 10 stars overall! Mahalo!"
