Housekeeping women, forget without guest they don't get paid. They were not accommodating or friendly. Front desk women were Awesome, friendly, nice. Mini Mart loved it convenient. Breakfast was so great and very nice people. It's an old comfortable hotel with history that are local friendly. Please don't loose that. Give your housekeeping women lessons on being more friendly, smile if a guest conversates don't be rude or at least smile back. People won't bite.

It was fine but for the amount I paid for one night and parking wasn’t included blew my mind. 300.00 total from 4-11am isn’t worth it again. Good luck to the future of this property. Plus I’m from a neighboring island and kamaina rates didn’t mater. Not even advice on where to park for free.

Stay away!
This place is a total dump, the rooms haven’t been updated since the Reagan era, are dirty and stained and the place deals of urine. Not to dismiss the area surrounding this place has walking zombies, you probably don’t want to leave your room after dark. Throw in the staff’s total apathy towards guests, hidden fees of $65! I warn you to go anywhere else.

This is a very dated property, the street noise statrs 4am each day with garbage track backups up alarm. There is nothing good as a resort but there still a resort charge with another $31 daily parking fee. The breakfast is not worth the money. However, the location is good, walking to mall and beach just minutes away. Staff is very slow both checking in and out. It took more than 15 minutes to figuring out my parking fee.

Pretty good
The location was okay. If you're looking for a place to stay that's not too far from the downtown business , this is a great place. The room was spacious , clean and quiet.The staff was friendly and helpful.The breakfast was great for a low price. My only hang up is that the hotel rooms need a tune up very badly. For the price I paid , I expected a more modern room . It felt like I was in a cheap hotel. Please update the rooms on things like decor and televisions. There was a PlayStation 2 in the room to play DVDs on. I didn't know people still used DVDS. Other than that, pretty good stay.

I would not stay here again
Checking in was kind of cold. After checking in we were told there was a $29 fee for parking - surprise. Parking was 3 blocks away if you couldn't fit in their tiny parking lot. It didn't feel safe. The tub was stained. The bed was hard as well as the flat pillows. Cleaning was every 5th day. They also charge for wifi. I paid $30 a day for that "free"wifi. They did not care and stated every charges for parking and amenities in Hawaii. The walls were thin. Garbage came banging around 6:30 a.m. and there is construction next door that is loud. I would not stay here again.

Pros: friendly staff, late checkout available, breakfast coupons for $5, great location. It’s a ‘budget’ hotel for HI standards, so it’s quite simple not a lot of comforts. Cons: carpet smelled strongly of pee in my room, and there was construction across the street so it was loud early in the a.m.

Noisy, unsafe and unkept
There’s major construction next door that starts super early. It was as clean as a regular cleaning could get an unkept building, but it doesn’t feel as clean. The condition of the place is subpar. Staff were kind and helpful. It also seems a place people party at, we had a couple noisy ‘neighbors’, we called the front desk and were moved further from them. The area also didn’t feel safe - while we were leaving to get dinner, a guest was sharing they had just tried to mug them. I would not stay here again unless I was desperate.

Pogoda Hotel is off CBD (Waikiki) so it's a lot quieter and potentially more affordable than those in CBD hotels. Parking is $29 / day, roughly half of private parking garages in CBD. Parking spot is abundant but usually pretty close to fully occupied in late evenings if you arrive back to the hotel late. Staff is friendly and easy to work with. Amenities fees at $30/day is too much considering most of the guests don't need that at all. Also, the hotel building and rooms are very dated, not the cleanest or newest and walls aren't that sound proof, but they are price appropriate.

I think this is one of the most popular hotels for Micronesians because of the great customer service and it's proximity to popular shopping hubs like ROSS, TARGET, WalMart, and Ala Moana. They're all within walking distance or a very short cab ride. Staff are also very accommodating and helpful, even in the wee hours of the morning. This eases the check-in process and stress on their customers.

The room was big and bed comfortable, but the property is quite dated and the AC very loud, requiring me to sleep with earplugs. We were also woken up at 6am by major construction noise for a new build right outside our window, which wasn’t mentioned anywhere at the time of booking. I made a complaint to the front desk but they didn’t take any action and we had the same issue the next morning, and didn’t get much sleep throughout our stay. The restaurant staff on the other hand was super friendly and the breakfast deal was great.

From the moment I walked in to the Pagoda hotel, I knew I was in for a treat! The lobby had a lovely damp and stale smell to it, which the font desk employees attitude perfectly matched. The employee seemed very concerned for my vehicle, letting me know it would be $29 a night for parking and that I’d never find free parking elsewhere. Navigating the hallway to my room, I could tell I was in an historic building. I loved how it appeared nothing had been updated in several decades, only adding to the properties historic vibe. Walking into the room, the theme continued. Two large and very sturdy 1970-ish chairs stood out. Immediately, I was transported back to my great great great grandmothers living room, the nostalgia was real. While, unfortunately, the stale, damp smell dissipated when I entered, my nose was met with another delightful scent, that of mold and dirt. I walked briskly to the AC unit, which despite heavy rust, did work well. I ventured into the bathroom, determined to find where the sweet aroma of mold was coming from. It was of course, in the ceiling of the shower. Not to fear though, the shower head sits about nose level to most average height men, thus preventing too many mold spores entering your nasal cavity. This also seemed well thought out, as - if you don’t have a cramp in your neck from sleeping in their dated spring beds with inch-thick pillows - Pagoda ensures you’ll get one bending over to take a shower.

Dingy, dirty, stinky diapers with feces in it were in the room. The fears smell was horrible. Took pictures and went to the front desk. They apologized and gave us another room which was moderate and appears to be clean but it was hard to believe that they replaced the bed sheets with clean and washed sheets. No house Keeping came to clean the room and replace dirty towels with clean ones. However, we decided to check out a day earlier. Didn’t want to stay longer in that place.

Great value, but VERY dated
Overall, it's a good hotel that is VERY dated, ready for a renovation 20 years ago (really). Everything works, staff are really nice and breakfast is terrific, so the actual stay was trouble-free. Great value, especially for the kitchenette units. In addition to everything being dated, which i could tolerate, there was a whiff of mildew-like odor whenever we entered the room, which I could not get past. Not sure if it's from the A/C, old carpets, or something else, but that's one thing the hotel should absolutely fix. I would give it a rating of 8 for value, but can't give it above a 7 because of the smell.
