A HOTEL THAT ACTUALLY RENTS ROOM WITH BAD BEDS
When we stayed at the King Kamehameha hotel I felt that I had stepped back to the 60’s. When we first stepped into the room the face of my 9 year old daughter dropped, she didn’t want to stay there. The room smelled clean but that was the ONLY good part. Furniture looked like it just came from Goodwill, peeling rattan furniture with VINYL cushions, the headboard also had VINYL padding, one corner of the room was cracked – there was a gap in the wallpaper from floor to ceiling and the carpet was stained in several places. We were on the 2nd floor and our view was the rooftop of the mostly unoccupied shops on the hotel property and it was littered with cigarette butts, we noticed it because a few were still burning. The balcony was furnished with rusting, chipped metal chairs so it made it look even more uninviting. THE WORST part of all was the mattresses on the beds…box springs were stained and old, the top mattress on one of the beds looked newer but the other bed had an old stained mattress WITH A WOODEN BOARD PUT IN BETWEEN THE MATRESS AND THE BOX SPRING!!! I couldn’t believe my eyes and still can’t believe that a hotel would do this!!!!!! This is the first time that I stayed in a hotel and had a hard time walking after the 2nd night there because my back was killing me. We took our daughter swimming in the GREEN tinged pool with broken tiles all around the edges and were constantly shooing away annoying flies. This is one of the only hotels (besides the Naniloa in Hilo) that we stayed in where we couldn’t wait to check out and go home!
We have already said that we will NEVER stay here again!
