2. If we stayed in that original small room on the 11th floor then this review would not be so great (the hallway of that floor also had a bad smell to it).

3. Our first room 305 faced Kuhio and that street was busy busy busy the room also was very musty smelling and I am alergic the next day we asked to be moved and no problem moved to 603 not a great view , but with the cost of property not a biggy for us could still see the street a bit We really enjoyed having the BBQ at the pool we used it all the time and it saved us a lot of money and it was relaxing start to the evening.

4. The room was alright, large and clean but was on the second floor, near the laundry and I would recommend any visitor to ask to stay on a higher floor because there was a smell in the hallways and my view overlooked some resident flats, which is alright for 2 nights but not great for a longer period of time.

6. While the workers were working on or near our balcony the smell of the smoke from their cigarettes filtered through the air con unit and ended up in our room.

7. It wasn't necessarily a bad smell, but it was so strong, you felt like you were living inside a York Peppermint Patty.
