Aqua Aloha Surf and Spa Hotel - Page 2

The only nice thing in this hotel is maybe the LCD TV. The bathroom was too small, with rusty metallic parts, and even when the hotel was renovated, the bathrooms are very old, including the horrible tile on the small shower. We were on the last floor, and for the days that rained, our luggage got wet because there are some leaks on the roof. The breakfast is nothing good, just some small cup cakes, pineapple juice, and bananas. The room smelled bad or old, and the housekeeping only makes the bed, but the bathroom floor was never swiped, or the carpet was never vacuumed. I will not stay here again.

The rooms weren't too bad, the staff was friendly, the breakfasts were good and I liked the open air lobby. It has a good central location so you are within walking distance to stores, restaurants and the beach. The pool was a little small. The one big problem I had was that we had to park 4 blocks away at another hotel the first day/night because parking was very limited at the hotel. There are only 35 parking spots in the basement and it costs $18 a night. I don't think that you should have to pay for parking a hotel but if you do, it should be no more than $5.

I was truly disappointed with this hotel especially the staff. The management needs to send their courtesy clerks/receptionists to a "How to Deal with Customers Training" because they have no idea how to deal with clients. Another thing, whatever happened to the words "WAKE UP CALL". We almost missed our airport bus because the clerk who was supposed to call us at 4:30 am was probably asleep herself.

The standard rooms here are very small, so small in fact, that we paid nearly double to upgrade for the first night, then moved to another hotel.

The rooms were clean, the service was quite good, the high-speed internet access was free, and the pool was closed at time of our visit. Our room(s) faced the street, and we had view of another hotel. We would not recommend it to others.

It's a convenient location, it's clean, and quiet. The parking was very limited with tight spaces. There is a real supermarket on the same block! It's very typical for a budget-type hotel in Hawaii so don't expect much.

This hotel made me feel content: The clientele tended to be on the upscale side. The maid service was friendly and nothing got stolen.

We stayed only two nights before boarding on a cruise. The hotel room was very small but adequate for our purpose. The continental breakfast was delivered to our room and it included a nice variety. The price was great.

I am very picky about where I lay my head, so I am here to give you the real skinny on the Aqua Aloha Surf Hotel. This hotel is pretty decent. Although the room I had was small (two max) it was clean, efficient and modern. The location was great (there is a grocery store around the corner, the Food Pantry), you are minutes from Waikiki Beach and the hotel is on a major thoroughfare, so you can basically walk to wherever you need to go. They serve a continental breakfast in the morning, which was adequate. The pool was closed due to maintenance. The only thing that wasn't working too well was the balcony door, it was off track. The staff and housekeeping were friendly and knowledgeable. The biggest thing was that I did not see any bugs (it helped that I was on the 12th floor). The bottom line, if you want somewhere to lay your head and have access to the stores, beach, restaurants, and such, this is the place for you.

The hotel personnel was not friendly. They put me in a smoking room and I requested a non smoking room. The windows did not close and the cleanliness was sub par. The charged for parking.

I liked that it was very close to the beach.

I loved the open air lounge. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the accommodations were comfortable. We were able to get the trolley right outside to go to the big mall and our tour company picked us up again right outside to go to the Az Memorial. I did not use the pool but the people who did were really having fun.

This hotel made me feel respected: They offered to hold our luggage until check in time as we arrived in the morning from our cruise ship then did it again on the day we left so we could do more sightseeing without worrying about out bags. We made good use of the open air lounge and it was so comfortable with the breezes coming through.

I made my choice blind on-line so waqs very surprised to see just how nice the room was. It had a kitchenette with a coffee maker so had fresh coffee in the morning and the bed was very comfortable. The only problem was the toilet must have been repaire.

This hotel made me feel relaxed: The staff were very pleasant and the open air lounge in the lobby was cooled by the breeze coming through. The rattan furniture was comfortable so enjoyed sitting down there and reading awhile.

We spent one night in another hotel before the cruise and they were not nearly as welcoming and nice to us.

This hotel made me feel important: We were there early because our cruise ship got in before noon and we had to wait until 3 to check in but they invited us to make use of the open-air lounge and stored our bags while we waited so if we wanted to shop or go eat we could. Then thanked us pr

It was okay, guess. I wouldn't recommend it, but wouldn't say things were bad, either. It was just mediocre, and think the price was high, but everything was high priced in hawaii.

Nothing very special, as expected.

Needed some paint work on the outside... Looked kinda cheap with flaking paint.
