4. The only negative was the lifts were quite slow and quite often there would be a wait for them.

"Good location for less " Read full review on TripAdvisor 12/27/2011 Vote

5. My husband used the swimming pool which is pretty small, only negative being no shade around it so for us that meant no lazing around the pool reading as it was just too hot.

"Fantastic value! " Read full review on TripAdvisor 11/5/2011 Vote

6. negatives are the lobby smells very musty (no smells on the halls or room tho); te decor is dated and the pool is very small and is falling apart.

"Great location and service, but hotel is a bit tired " Read full review on TripAdvisor 8/24/2011 Vote

7. The only real negative was being on Ala Moana Boulevard - it's a busy road and our partial ocean view suite was noisy, all the more so because of the road works out the front at the moment.

"Friendly and well-placed " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/24/2011 Vote

8. A few negatives: Elevators a extremely slow (not a big deal), Pool is a little on the small side (who cares when you have beautiful beaches within walking distance), and parking is super pricey.

"Great hotel for the price " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/27/2011 Vote

9. The only negatives:I never had my room cleaned the entire time I was there, I don't know why that was (no-one ever came to make the bed, change the towels, etc) , that was a little odd since everything else was so clean and I saw the cleaner several times on my floor doing other rooms.

"Great last minute place to stay " Read full review on TripAdvisor 3/20/2011 Vote

10. With the negative conversation, the person at the front desk forgot to tell us that hotel guests get 20% off at the ihop with a room key.

"Great value for the money " Read full review on TripAdvisor 2/28/2011 Vote
