The accommodations were adequate, but the stay was less than desirable due to Local 5’s hotel strike. During our ten day stay in Waikiki we were not able to enjoy sitting out on our lanai due to the chanting, bull horns and drum beating performed by the strikers, even as far as 4 blocks away, sometimes starting at 7:00 AM and going every night until 10:00 PM. We often tried to retire early evening being used to our EST (eastern standard time) schedules but were not able to get any rest until after 10:00 PM.
I want to be clear that I am not taking any position on either the strikers or hotel management. I thought that a complaint to the city would be in order but when we saw in the Star-Advertiser the Honolulu mayor in lockstep and arm in arm with strikers that complaint would be in vain. The following does not apply to Honolulu standards unfortunately:
Quiet Enjoyment. A Covenant that promises that the grantee or tenant of an estate in real property will be able to possess the premises in peace, without disturbance by hostile claimants. Quiet enjoyment is a right to the undisturbed use and enjoyment of real property by a tenant or landowner.

Upon reading many other reviews from Hawaii visitors and tourists the theme seemed to be the same. Hotels and hosts failed to inform guests upfront about the strike and the inconveniences they would experience let alone any adjustments for any of the things in the listing they could not provide. In the spirit of customer service continuity an adjustment in our overall expenditure seems appropriate. I am including this in my review that it may afford future guests a courtesy that we did not receive at the time of booking.
