We really enjoyed our room. My husband was in pain, and glad our room only had one flight of stairs. (2nd floor) The view was perfect; we had a "Pool View Room". With all the high-rise hotels packed side-by-side, it was nice to be in a 3-story with bamboo railings toward the pool. Seemed like a quaint oasis with the palm trees close enough for me to actually touch the leaves.
... There wasn't a bathtub in the room; it was a shower. (Small, but not a problem for either of us.) We did a lot of walking to catch buses, so my husband really needed a good long soak in Epsom salts. ❤️
... Staff was always helpful and very friendly.
Plenty of places to eat nearby. (If you have a Sam's Club card, you can get lunch really cheap!) Get a Holo card at 7-Eleven or ABC Stores, and ride the bus all day for $10.
... There's a street market on Duke's Lane (which is the south end of Nohinani St where the hotel is.) It's a block long. 5 blocks from the beach if walking.
... Bring your favorite tea bags, instant coffee or French press. There's no coffee pot in the room, but there is this amazing jet-boiler. For drinks or ramen cups or oatmeal. 😃 And they do have coffee and lattes (free) at the desk from 5 am to 11 am. and other refreshing beverages later on.
.. Balcony was private enough to hang clothes over a chair to dry if I had to wash something. It rained during our stay, and the desk is outside, but I didn't melt, and I had taken an umbrella.
.. I would definitely stay there again.
