This is the old,old hotel for locals to stay. There are renovations ongoing and it is convenient to Ala Moana shopping center. The bus terminal is at the center so most of Oahu is at your finger tips. The resturant was closed for breakfast. This used to be a good morning treat and we disappointed .street noise is minimal and they do have a small pool on site. Rooms are minimal and have aged but ours was clean. Prices are moderate for Waikaki. I will stay again.

stay away ! ever since the current corp. owner took over, approximately 4 years ago, Pagoda has slide to the bottom. the response from management consistently rebuffed any mention of an issue. the stained carpet, broken furniture, filthy bathrooms, and smell that would make a person choke. new management kept telling me that improvements were being made. not so. i am in Hawaii quite often for family. i now stay at the Ala Moana Hotel.

Well i booked this hotel at last minute ,im thankful there was availability. The location is good next to like like drive inn and a few blocks away from Ala Mona Mall. Only thing i did not like was outside noise from the room i could hear everthing going on at street level and i was on the 8th floor. beside that a good stay.

we ( 3 adults me, my daughter and her boyfriend) stayed for 12 days at the pagoda terrace hotel in a 2 bedroom +kitchenette room
the room has a very good space and woul easily accomodate 5 persons .
Kitchen and "living room"are good for breakfast and some fast food meal , has rice cooker,cofeemaker,microvawe,refrigerator,full suplie of tableware and dishes.
very good localization, walking distance from Alamoana shopping/wallmart/Ross and even if you like to walk, Waikiki beach.
bad points: as we arrived the room had a strong smell of fish ( probably from the previous guest)and it took almost a week and lots or room spray to feel ok.
it do needs renovation ( they said they were renovating the hotel and this room definatelly would need it)
elevator didn't work properly 2 evenings in a row.( or it was turned off)
I found a roach in the bathroom and I do killed it with my flip flop.but it stayed at the wall for 2 days till we removed it .( cleaning of the room was average)
even though the parking is paid separately, we have received 2 parking tickets : one for parking at a wrong spot ( we were told to park in the parking building werever we wanted ) and the second one because the parking "voucher"was not properly placed ( we did not removed it the 12 days we stayed there) both ticket were voided after we went to the parking office ( at least i hope they did) because at the front desk I was told that they could not help and that I had to go to the parking office.
Wifi not available ( only ethernet cable) and is collected separetely as well as the parking ( Thanks God I took my laptop with me)
They charge .75 for local calls even if you dial a 1-800 number
I did not used the pool or any other hotel facilities.
