While on our trip in Oahu, my family and I had an okay stay at the Ala Moana Hotel despite the fact that it took the front desk quite long to check us in, and the fact that the maid left only two towel sets everyday (even though we requested for their to be four left everyday in advance), anyway the stay there was okay and we thought everything was ...

Extremely convenient
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 06/02/08
I love going to the Ala Moana Hotel; check-in was fast and friendly, and the location is absolutely perfect! The room was comfortable, but the lowest rate rooms are a bit small (the "2 beds" is actually one large bed and a fold-out couch). The rooms were clean, and the beds have hypo-allergenic pillows. There is free internet access for ...
This hotel is out of the touristy crush of Waikiki and very close to a large, beautiful beach park featuring one small lagoon, one larger beach and plenty of great people-, boat-, surfer-, and bird-watching. If you like upscale shopping centers one is across the street. If you go there, skip the department and chain stores and go to Blue Hawaii. ...
It's true that the rooms are pretty nice and newly renovated, but what really bugs me is when hotels call a room an "ocean view room" when that view is obtained by hanging your head over the corner railing of your lanai.
The beds were a quite odd experience. Felt hard as a rock upon doing the "push with the hand test" ...

Great hotel, great location
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/21/07
We spent seven nights at the Ala Moana Hotel. The hotel was recently renovated and looks very modern. They have LCD flat panel tv's in all of the rooms, even the cheaper room we reserved in the Kona Tower. High speed internet is free in the rooms. They have a heated pool with poolside restaurant, and the hotel is only two blocks from the ...

a stay in paradise
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/12/07
I stayed in one of the rooms (928) and enjoyed it very much. I found a business card that was left in the room under the glass top. It was the card of the owner. Very nice man. Was helpful in pointing out where to go and what to see. I will be renting from him in the future. The front desk personel was kind and friendly. Dislikes was the parking.

Great... with one problem...
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/09/07
Room was clean and comfortable. Cost was very reasonable. Location is perfect (we live on Maui and didn't feel the need to be right on the beach, just near shopping.)
The problem was smoking. We all realize the hazards of smoking... no need to go there. However, we didn't fully realize what was meant by the Hotel's smoking ...

The Best Value in Hawaii
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 12/27/06
I recently stayed at the Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu. The rooms are newly renovated with brand new stylish furniture and marble countertops in the bathrooms. The location is the best in Hawaii, next to the Ala Moana shopping mall. The rooms are also very reasonably priced. I've stayed at many different hotels in Hawaii and this place is ...
The hotel rooms are absolutely great! The hotel is undergoing a complete renovation. Flat screen TV, new furniture, and a great view. I'd stay there again!

Are you kidding me?!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/15/06
When I read some of the review on Trip Advisor for this hotel, I felt, "Yes, I should stay here". It was a big disappointment to me because we stayed at the largest suite they had, and it was as big as my living room at home! It was very small and dirty. The dining here is very good, and you should eat at the Plantation House. The service ...
