This is a value for money place.
Three things are great:
*The location - so short to everything, not least to Fort DeRussy Beach
*The pool area. Not very big nor luxurious, but very cosy and with all you need - pools for grown up and children, chairs for sunbath and a bar. View to Fort DeRussy Garden green area from the pools.
*The staff. Ashley almost operated as my personal assistant and she and her colleagues were friendly and efficient in every way
On the counter side the hotel really has seen better days, or at least parts of it. There is a renovation project going on. Hopefully that will make things better. The small rooms do not have a desk/working space, which I think is absolutely needed in a hotel.
But because of the good parts this defenitely was worth the money, and I would recommend it to everyone travelling to Honolulu on a budget.
