On island for medical apt.. Booked weeks in advace, arrived, took a drive up North going to play in the ocean. Best mac/coconut shrimp ever at Seven Brothers! Called about check in, no answer. Called and called, finally an answer, nice sounding woman. "Did you receive the online check in emai? No. Okay I will send it.' It arrives - download Docusign. As I am touring it takes over two hours to download. I call # no answer. Okay heading back to Waikiki I pull over a couple times to check download, still in progress. I call res., no answer. 5:30 pm I arrive at Marina Tower, glitch in program won't let me sign. That was a 3 hour waste of my time/phone batttery. I left home fully charged, am now down to 20% and have 1 day still. I go to Equus Hotel in front. Totally organized manager attempts to help me out. Goes over all 4 windows of Docusign with me, everything complete but signature boxes don't proceed. I cannot get the code for the lockbox. I text res. copies of my cc/dl. Down to 12% battery I begin emailing reservations. She see's my attempts online. Nothing she can do. Phone going to die I ask how much a room is at the Equus, same price. I suggested MT just cancel my reservation as I dont want to be charged for a room I cant get into. She cancels my booking. Equus checks me in in 3 minutes I get my key and get on with a nice noght in Waikiki. My advice to MT send out all that info, app, etc. as soon as someone books. You invaded my awesome day on Oahu with gocking at the phone all day. Employ people at the front office of MT and show some Aloha, at the same time you will be giving back to the community. Mahalo…

I rented a room in the Marina Towers for 2 nights prior to boarding the Pride of America. In 63 years I have had some bad experiences but none that top this one. When i rented it I did not realize it was a condo. I found it hard to locate and there was No one available to reach out to ask any questions. If you get a rental car plan to pay for parking. When the elevator does work it takes forever to get to you. The first night i stayed they shut the elevator down for the entire weekend and i Had to carry my luggage up and down to the 24th floor the entire time. Again no one on premises to reach out to. Once i got in the room the blankets and sheets were dirty...The AC didn't work... The TV didn't work... The Wifi didn't work... The window shades wouldn't pull down...The Windows allowed air to pass through creating a whistle sound the whole night and again no one available to get anything working. They will take your money and from there your on your own. I wouldn't recommend this dump to my worst enemy. BUYER BEWARE!!!…

We had to change our booking last minute and ended up in this hell hole. When I booked online it was for room 2804. When we arrived we ended up in room 3504. I’ve attached photos. This place is a dump. We had stained towels, blood stains on the mattress, broken cupboards and filthy cutlery. For the first week the elevator worked then they turned it off due to high winds. Ironically the hotel in front of ours still has all of theirs running. Being on the 35th floor with bad knees and ankles and a partner who bodyboards climbing 35 floors was horrifying. It completely destroyed our holiday as our first trip to Hawaii and our first holiday as a couple. If you book this place your nuts!!! Whilst here we have tried many times to seek a refund through Airbnb but they are useless.

Why has this place not been shut down yet ? The rooms are filthy, not only mine but also from the other guests I met on the stairways because none of the elevators where working. The toilet bowl and shower, the floors and the bedding where very dirty and stained. The sheet on top of the mattress had a blood and urine stain in the size of a dinner plate, than covered with another sheet. The worst accommodation ever. I have traveled the world in economy and luxury places .Even third world countries showed more respect and pride to a traveler. The elevator worked one time but kept on dropping between floors, it is outride dangerous. I tried to get part of my money back but the management refused. The location is the only good thing about this place.
