Well situated inside Hilton Hawaiian Village Property, this hotel tower offers upscale accommodation, an expansive lobby and reception area, an on-site convenience store “Accents,” concierge services, luggage storage, and convenient self-parking. Since the GW is on the border of the property, it seems to be a quieter location than the other towers, with exception perhaps of All’i. The Paradise Pool is closest and offers poolside food service; the Lagoon is also close by and is usually quiet in the am, until all the aqua bikes and floats come out in the pm. Our 32nd floor 2 Bedroom Oceanview suite had a wonderful view from the 2 balconies, and also offered a distant view of the Hilton luau most evenings. Master king bedroom had good closet and drawer storage, a large bath, with separate shower and tub, and the deluxe Toto! ( great toilets everywhere in this town, even at the airport!) The tropical scented toiletries are very nice. Second bedroom had good closet and drawer space, a balcony perfect for sunrise yoga, and a bath with shower. From the entry door ( ring our doorbell please), a hallway led into the living room, which opened into a second balcony, and into the kitchen and dining area. Kitchen had all needed items-dishes, bowls, cutlery, pots, pans, coffeemaker (and coffee packets), electric hot water pot, dishwasher, microwave, full size fridge and freezer….. Suite was nicely decorated, and had 3 TV sets. The Samsung washer and dryer were so useful in this hot weather to freshen our clothing, and small packets of eco- friendly detergent were included. Housekeeping staff was most attentive and stopped daily to see if we would like service. Rooms were kept as neat as a ship’s cabin! We did a lot of takeaway meals, and ate outside on our balcony at sunset. We requested a late checkout, which is available for a fee. However, since Saturday is the high guest turnover day, GW was unable to do this for us. But, the GW does offer its guests a lounge facility, with comfortable seating, and showers and bathrooms. Since the HNL flights always seem to be late evening, this lounge allowed us to go to the beach all day and clean up before flight time, while our bags were in storage with the bellman. We have stayed in several hotels on the property and really liked the quiet and convenient location and spaciousness of the GW. Also, the elevators were almost always fast, and there are longer walks and stairs in the lobby area when entering from the pool area.
Very Good
