Aston at the Executive Centre Hotel

Location was great, if you are a traveler looking for a different experience than Waikiki. Walking distance to the Chinatown and Kaka'ako neighborhoods, and a plethora of great restaurants. Access to the building's excellent pool and hot tub is included. Friendly staff. Fascinating view from the 38th floor: we could watch the harbor, the traffic below, the surf on Sand Island, planes taking off from HNL, and see the mountains in the distance. Good wifi and a comfortable bed. We got upgraded to a suite, which had a fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and cooktop as well as some utensils (can't comment in detail since we didn't cook). There was also a washer and dryer with a couple of charges of detergent provided!

So, the building is old, but it's mostly in good repair. The decor is dated to the point of actually kind of charming, such as the bronze tiles in the kitchen and bathroom. Cleanliness was good, but some stuff is just worn and needs to be replaced, in particular the bathroom counter in our room. I was delighted to have a washer and dryer in the room, but the washer is left closed by the cleaning staff and is probably infrequently used, so it had a rather musty smell. It improved slightly after a wash cycle with hot water, but this ought to be addressed somehow.

Nice bed, convenient location, nice room. Room was ready when we arrived a little early. Pleasant staff.

All good.

Spacious suite. Staff very helpful and accommodating about luggage storage before check-in and after check-out.

Bathroom could use a remodel. Bed pillows were hard/stiff - no choices in the room. Coffee for in-room coffeemaker tasted horrible. Some great food options in Chinatown nearby, but MANY homeless people camped out on the streets in the evenings.
