Tricia Pearl Review of The Royal Hawaiian Hotel Resor...

My husband surprised me with a nice 2 night Staycation at the Royal Hawaiian for my birthday. We stayed on the 16th floor of the Mailani Tower in an Ocean Front room. Our arrival was easy, no stress at check-in. Our bags were brought directly to our room, quicker than I could get my phone out to take a few pictures of the view. All staff was very nice and helpful. We tipped abundantly since a lot of these kind people have been out of work for months. It's been a nice break for the island but low occupancy has caused hardship for locals that depend on tourism to pay their bills. Please consider this if you stay here, if you can afford to travel and have the disposable income. Spread some aloha to the people that impress you. There were some things I thought could improve; the shower had mold, the Japanese toilet had mold, the bedside table lamp in my room was very dusty, and the light switches and door handles had visible dirt when we got there. Thankfully they leave you some alcohol wipes and I came prepared with my own Clorox wipes. I went around and cleaned the room up myself. No big deal, I just thought it was unfortunate for such a nice place to have that issue. One thing I couldn't find in other reviews- the safe is large enough to fit a laptop, the balcony has an electrical outlet, and the mini fridge has a TINY roughly 4x4 frozen section in the top corner. Hopefully, that information is helpful to someone wondering what they can pack with them. I hope to stay again someday, maybe in a historic room next time.
