The place I stayed was nice but not set up for a person to eat in. I did buy silverware so that the next person had eating utensils, and Mari said that the microwave will be replaced but I'm just surprised that no one said anything to Mari--that is not in keeping with the o'hana feeling when one visits the 808, and she is awesome!
Parking was the biggest issue. I would have paid more to have my own parking space so that I did not have to walk a half a mile every time I needed the car. The Marina Parking Garage is the cheapest, safest place to park unless one wants to pay almost $10/day more at the DoubleTree. I got in at 2 a.m. my time and parked on site but was told by the security person that I had to move the car by 7 a.m. I asked where I could park, and was told, "That's not my problem." I can take care of myself but it is shady in a few areas around Ala Moana, and I really didn't relish taking on "my safety" as a problem. That said, I would have paid more to have a car space.
