I originally wanted to book the Ala Moana Hotel, but it was full, so I booked this one-room “condo,” which turned out to be a room inside the Ala Moana Hotel with the same check-in. The check-in experience felt a bit impersonal, but the room itself was clean, practical, and comfortable.
The unit is labeled ADH and has an automatic door opener, which is helpful for wheelchair users, though the bathtub is standard and not fully ADA-accessible. The room had more amenities than a typical hotel room, including a microwave, real dishes, and utensils, which made meals easy. The bed was comfortable and the room size was decent.
Because it’s ADA-accessible, the room is next to the elevator, and elevator noise was noticeable at night and early mornings (more like white noise, but worth noting for light sleepers). There was no daily housekeeping, but supplies like extra towels and toiletries were provided, and we didn’t lack anything.
The location is excellent—easy access to Ala Moana Shopping Center, Foodland Farms, Don Quijote (24 hours), restaurants, and public transportation. We used the bus for everything and found it very convenient.
Overall, it’s a practical, comfortable, and affordable option in a fantastic location.
