As planned, we spent the last couple days relaxing in Waikiki. The hotel offered us some minor annoyances, uncharacteristically ignoring my Hilton Honors profile of “King, High Floor, Away from elevator”. Most Hilton properties follow it to the letter, I assume rooms are assigned by computer. However this one first attempted to give us a queen bed, which caused an argument with management until “we’re completely full” turned into “oh, look I just found a king bed for you”. The new room was right beside the elevator, but it didn’t seem too loud and I figured I had used up my quota of complaints for the day. The next day however, after not sleeping well, I did request and receive a new room away from the elevator.
Other than the room shuffling, the hotel was a great place to hang out for the last few days. The pool on the fourth floor was great for hanging around and reading a book, and the free drinks in the afternoon certainly helped.
We did some souvenir shopping, went out for a nice dinner, and that pretty much sums up the last two days before jumping on the airplane and heading home. Overall, it was a great vacation and I’d do Hawaii again for sure!
