Kalia Suites by Hilton Grand Vacations — Hotel in Honolulu

I stayed at the Kalia Tower, which is located in Hilton Village. Made a reservation for a room with ocean view to enjoy the ocean from the balcony; all i was able to see was three big buildings lacoted right between the ocean and my room. I requested to be placed in a room with an actual ocean view, and they wanted me to pay an extra $50 more per night. I decided to stay in the room. I was planning and doing some activities.. but I would really enjoy a morning coffee looking at the ocean.The room itself was ok. It had two beds, one coffee maker, a tv, and a mini refrigerator. The beds we horrible I couldn't sleep one good night sleep. The beds were not comfortable. The carpet looked old and dirty; outside the room wasn't any better. Wall and floors looked in poor conditions. The power went out twice. One of those times, I was in the elevator with more people, including some kids. The kids were really starting to hit worried about the co ditions. No one from the Hilto even asked if we were ok. I will never stay here again. Also, you have to pay a mandatory $50 dollars extra per night to cover resort fees. Resorts, anyone walking by can enjoy. And taxes were...

The rooms are spacious and clean with all amenities you could need even a rice cooker. Our housekeeper was phenomenal!!! They even did our dishes, we always got fresh towels and all things were restocked before ever running low! The views are spectacular. The area is a little bit busy, kinda ghetto(outside of the hotel property) and at night you will hear tons of sirens, the Hilton waikiki village is enormous with 5 pools but it takes a while to get anywhere and most restaurants are .4 of a mile away or farther. The pools all close at 630 which was odd but overall still 100% worth it. There are ABC stores close, the activities are a lot of fun, we made kukui bracelets, there's yoga, ukulele lessons, Lei making etc. Do make sure if you stay at Hilton waikiki village that you know which building you are staying in as there are multiple buildings and we spent a lot of time walking around to the wrong buildings when we...

There's a strike going on. They start about 630 in the morning and it goes until 10 at night. Loud speakers, people honking, I'm told it's been going on for over a month. I didn't get notified until the night before I checked in. Ruined the adult only pool, walking anywhere you can hear them. I planned 12 nights, going somewhere else now. I will say, the people aren't terrible face to face, not aggressive. But the stay is ruined.

Rooms are small and dated (nice tv though). Digital keys only and the Internet seems to have a hard time logging in as you move around the resort. Hence digital keys are delayed. Location is pretty nice, they have everything needed. Didn't seem to be as well kept as usual and the flies are pretty annoying. $30 breakfast buffet was nothing special but there are other options. I bet if the strike wasn't going on it would be a...
