6.8/10
The hotel has a prime location near the Convention center and Fisherman's Wharf, making it convenient for exploring that area. However, my experience was marred by dog noise during the night and some discomfort due to the room's decor, which had sharp edges. At $450 per night, I expected more comfort and quiet during my stay.
Rooms
5.0
While the room was attractive with a unique Hawaiian motif, it had sharp corners that made moving around a bit hazardous. Additionally, I could sense the past presence of dogs, which was a bit off-putting given the rate we paid.
Service
7.0
The staff was kind and serviceable, addressing our needs promptly, but the noise from nearby dogs was a significant issue that impacted the service experience.

9.0/10
I really loved this hotel! The location was just perfect, a quick walk to the wharf and lots of great restaurants. The staff went out of their way to be accommodating and friendly, which made my stay even better. The room was spacious and clean, but it lacked enough power outlets, which made charging devices a bit tricky. The dining experience was exceptional, particularly breakfast, but I found the dining prices to be on the higher side. Overall, a wonderful place to stay for my trip!
