Review of Ala moana hotel

We really liked this hotel! The room was clean, we had a beautiful view of the city and mountains, and the air conditioner worked! The bed was a little bit uncomfortable for our tastes, but they readily provided another pillow and blanket when we asked.

The hotel is in a great location near many bus lines and reasonable walks to activities without being right on the main tourist strip. There is a pedestrian bridge to the mall next door (although it took us a try or two to master exactly how to get back to the hotel via the bridge).

There are also a few dining options within the hotel itself. The one on the top floor is fairly pricey but has a good happy hour menu. The breakfast cafe has fairly limited menu and I don't personally think the price is worth it (how can the fruit be so dismal in Hawaii of all places?) We didn't get a chance to try the cafe at the salon near the pool, but the menu looked reasonable. The Starbucks in the lobby is also pretty handy and the wait isn't bad if you can avoid the prime hours.

We also were able to check in an hour early without issue.
