I haven't had an issue with the staff at the Crown. Everyone has been pretty friendly. Sure there is no free food but we are on full per diem. The hotel just hired more drivers so they are trying. Plenty of folks drove. If you need a lift, ask a class mate. I have 3 open seats.
Over the last 30 plus years of traveling the world, the Crown holds up as a good place to stay in my book. Are there issues, yes. Are they trying to provide good service, yes. Are we in a semi metropolitan area where maintaining good SA is important, yes. I've had more homeless and folks selling weed approach me on Waikiki and I don't think anyone would say Waikiki was a bad place to stay.
