Other facilities offered at Ala Moana Motel include barbecues, a ticket service, a tour desk and luggage storage. An array of activities can be enjoyed on site or in the surroundings, including golfing. The property offers free parking.

This accommodation exceeded our expectations! Originally, we were booked at an upmarket apartment that was 4x the price, decided to go for this place instead due to central location and value for money. We compared this place to our original booking and were not disappointed with our decision. The owner/manager of this property cannot do enough to ensure a great stay, working hard all day to maintain high standard, and advise on best options for tours etc. Great facilities like complimentary laundry, and 5min walk to central area & ferry wharf. Many Thanks for a great holiday! Thanks for the perfect weather too !!

Looking for a motel?

Both travellers on the road and on a budget rely on motels for convenient stops with reasonable rates. Direct access to parking makes a motel an easy place to catch some sleep after a day of driving.

    This motel had everything we could've needed. It's set back from the road, unlike most other motels in the area, which means it's perfectly quiet and no road noise when you want to sleep. Beds were comfy too. The small kitchen (microwave, electric hob, kettle, toaster) was very useful, and we appreciated that it was in a separate little room to our bedroom. The pool and hot tub were an additional bonus (although the pool was probably a little cold for some!). Laundry facilities also a plus.
