I’ve stayed at the Ala Moana hotel before and have had a lovely experience. However, I didn’t have a great experience this time. After fees and taxes it’s pretty much the same price as if you were to book directly through the hotel, and with booking with hotel you get daily cleaning. When booking via this airb&b they do not clean until you check out. We were at the beach so we needed more towels and room cleaning so it didn’t work out well. On top of that, our bathroom curtain was very dirty and seemed like mold or mildew, which could be from no ventilation in the bathroom. The bathroom smelled very strong of mildew, and we often had to leave the bathroom open to make sure it aired out. The host was responsive, and did get us a new shower curtain. The fridge wasn’t really working either, and since we booked third party, we couldn’t contact the hotel, it all had to be through Shelly.
I would highly recommend just booking through ala Moana hotel. You’ll have a much better experience. The hotel room was basic, overall it was okay. I wouldn’t stay again.
