Ala Moana Hotel by Mantra

8/10 Good

"Our stay at Ala Moana Hotel was good overall. The hotel is conveniently located near Ala Moana Center and the beach. It's also convenient for taking the bus. The room was generally clean, although the carpet had some noticeable stains. Everything else was good, except for an issue with the microwave and some A/C noise coming from the neighboring room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay and appreciated the convenient location."
