I had an enjoyable stay at Pagoda Hotel, with its great location near Ala Moana Mall and other shops. The staff were super friendly and helpful, which made my experience better. However, the hotel's age showed, especially in the room's outdated décor and the noisy air conditioning. Overall, it was a decent spot for a short trip, but there are definitely areas for improvement.
