The Pagoda hotel, ball room, restaurant and "carp", is a part of our island history. For many locals, it represented a special night when staying there or attending a family or social event. Today, it still draws many neighbor islanders and travelers who are looking for a reasonable priced not "Waikiki" hotel without high material expectations. What wins you over is the staff who goes out of their way to greet, assist, make you feel appreciated and a part of their family. Debbie Arakaki is one of those special down to earth and positive people who always greets you with a smile and acts in your best interest. The Pagoda Hotel should be very proud to have Debbie on their team!

Locals do favor this budget hotel as the prices are low and the location is central. The rooms and service leave much to be desired. Deferred maintenance can be seen in the rooms and bathroom, and the front desk service was perhaps the worst I have experienced in a long time, Friendly, but one person for many people resulted in an hour long wait for a key.

We stayed three weeks and it was a real home away from home. The staff were very friendly and helpful. the whole experience made us feel very comfortable. Combined with great food and excellent service at the restaurant made for a perfect holiday.

No complaints about staff and reception, helpful indeed. However the hotel rooms are in need retrofitting starting with carpets. Carpets are not suitable for asian pacific weather. Having tiles or faux timber is easier to maintain. If you are catering for tourists from temperate countries n need to have carpet then at least refurbish. next you have obsolete box aircon with thermostat which keep switching on and off when a certain temp is achieved. Well the periodic auto re start is a nuisance Next you have a basin in the room on the dresser table, and a basin in the washroom .. care to explain why? Above said , many positives such as the convenience store, free dvd rentals (no body has time to watch), lots of eateries nearby, short walk to Moana Loa(also in need of retrofitting as with airport!) If the major retrofittings were done, obviously we have to pay a much higher room rate

The local is very clean and I felt safe in the neighborhood, close to an Walmart and McDonalds. My room had a microwave and refrigerator, what was really helpful for a long trip (7 nights) but I'm not sure if this is available in all the rooms. Pool has a good size and it was pretty clean, just like the bathroons, the pool area in general was really enjoyable. I was just disappointed about not having breakfast included.
