Who would stay in a hotel room when you can stay at The Red Ginger? Nobody!! The location across from the Zoo is ideal - sit on the 10th floor deck with your morning coffee or sun downers and watch the gorgeous flamingos; also an unobstructed view of Diamond Head and an expansive view of the ocean, surfers and volley ball games. This type of view would cost a 'pretty penny' in most hotels. The pool is perfect and we had it almost to ourselves most days we used it. The Bus has stops very close to the hotel and Google Maps can tell you exactly where to go for your selected destination. For an all day ticket of $5.50, you can't beat it for ease and economy.
I won't repeat all the other aspects people rave about, but I do concur. Kevin is lightning fast in responding to emails and had a repair person fixing something within hours of us letting him know about the issue (which, by the way, was not even urgent).
The Food Pantry is close and convenient for supplies and right next door are a number of food trucks (on Kuhio Ave) fantastic for dinner.
