Pros (+) Nothing
Cons (-) Staff were rude and very unprofessional. The room was extremely small and The bathroom was the size of an airline bathroom. There was mold in the shower. For the price I paid I would of expected more! I would not recommend this hotel to anyone!
Pros (+) Price
Cons (-) Breakfast quality
Pros (+) Hotel proximity to beach
Cons (-) Parking situation is horrendous. Very limited parking in a very poor parking garage. We cleared their guidelines only to scrap the roof of our rental car on the third floor. Couldn’t find parking on three evenings. Hotel charged us $35 a night and didn’t mention the $25 dollar a night public parking less than one block away.
Pros (+) The newly renovated rooms with plenty of power/USB outlets, the large flat screen TV and location
Cons (-) Slow elevators, in window air conditioner.
Pros (+) the new look and feel of the environment
Cons (-) they still was in renovation mode,but i'm sure it'll be 10 times greater soon
Pros (+) I liked the new renovations. The view was amazing from our roomindid
Cons (-) I didn't like that I wasn't aware of the security deposit while reserving my room. Caused an issue with the payment but was able to still stay for a night. Front desk staff was amazing however housekeeper was not polite.
Pros (+) I've been to Maile Sky Court before years ago & I must say that the rooms have definitely changed a lot! My boyfriend and I had no complaints. Inviting, comfortable, clean & beautiful. We know that the place is still undergoing some renovations and although we were a bit disappointed that the pool was closed we understand. We would definitely recommend Maile Sky Court to our friends and family!
Pros (+) Our room had both a fridge and a microwave, which was nice. The location is also pretty good, being about 4 blocks from Waikiki.
Cons (-) Because the hotel is under construction until about December 30, things like the pool are out of commission. Also, parking isn't included in the nightly price - it's an extra $26 per night, and because of the construction you aren't guaranteed a spot. If you can't park there, tell the front desk and they'll refund that night's parking fee, but it's still a pain.
Pros (+) Yhe friendl iness of the staff.
Cons (-) I know that the hotel is under construction, but there should be a better aor flow in the hallways and elevators.
