The good: We arrived at Aston from an international arrival in the morning. The hotel staff were very accomodating, they not only allowed us to check in early, they also upgraded us to a suite. Our 1 bedroom suite was huge, and even had washer and dryer, which we took advantage of. Location was excellent, there is a 7eleven and Paris Baguette downstairs, Chinatown is a quick 10minute walk which had so many good choices for lunch and dinner.
The not so good: Aston is dated, which was not a problem for us. There is dust on the surfaces of furnitures and dust bunnies by baseboards. The cleaning crew really needs to do a better job. Location is away from the touristy beach area, which worked for us, but if you are in for the sunset and beach this is not the hotel for you. The walk to and from Chinatown was quick however there are homeless people camped out which makes me feel uneasy at night.
Overall, it's good value for us since we were only transiting and staying a short one night. Its closer to the airport than hotels in popular Waikiki. We would consider staying again for transiting trips. For vacationing, I'd definitely stay elsewhere.
