Great location but needs a renovation
Pros:

The place is in great location in Waikiki. The staff were so helpful and polite. The room has two nice beds, a kitchen, and a bathroom. It was clean, but it needs a renovation. There is a pool, but I didn´t use it.

Cons:

The room needs a renovation, everything looks old and a bit neglected.

Pros:

The location was great, 1 block from public beach and shopping & restaruants in walking distance. Our room was on the corner of street, very noisy, no sound barrrier in walls. We slept with sheet only, didnt know blanket was in dresser drawer until we were checking out. Elevator was not working, over all the hotel needs some cleaning and updates.

Cons:

Close to beach

The property is dilapidated in general, but comfortable, the price is good considering the location.
Pros:

The pool was decent, the shower water was hot, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. The sheets and towels were clean. It is only a one block walk to Waikiki Beach with nice beach towels available. I had a partial view of the sea on the front side of the building. The kitchenette was functional with dishes, pots, pans, glassware, and utensils. The microwave, toaster, and coffee maker worked. The property is dilapidated in general, but the price is great considering the location.

Cons:

Parking is a challenge. The wifi is off and on, and the TV turned on but didn't have any cable, so laptop for Netflix is sporadic. But, I wasn't there to watch TV. Only one of two elevators worked.

Dirty room, broken elevator, and rude staff
Pros:

I had a very disappointing stay at this hotel. Despite calling more than 15 times over three days, no one ever answered the phone. The woman at the front desk during the night shift was cold, dismissive, and unwelcoming.

The room was in unacceptable condition. It felt so dirty that I did not want to touch anything, and the photos speak for themselves. There were also disgusting stains on the towels, which made the room feel even more unsanitary. The door lock did not work properly, which made me feel unsafe. The mattress, blanket, and pillow were all damp, making the room extremely uncomfortable.

The elevator was also out of service, so I had to carry my luggage up and down six floors by myself. On top of that, the street noise was very loud, making it hard to rest.

I was also uncomfortable with what appeared to be unequal treatment of guests. Overall, this was a very unpleasant stay, and I would not recommend this hotel.

Great stay!
Pros:

Best stay ever! It was so close to the beach! I only spent a few hours there and it was exactly what I was looking for. It was clean AND they had a coffee pot! If I ever get to come back to your island I will stay there again, and I am telling all my friends as well. Thank you!

Pros:

As soon as I knew I'd be headed back to O'ahu, I made plans to stay at this family-run slice of old Waikiki. I've stayed before, and it always fits my needs perfectly.

A good night's sleep on the super comfy mattress was a huge plus, since I was out and about most days. Loved the fresh white towels and linen, a fridge and a coffee maker too. Staff are always helpful and cheerful. Hearing the local zebra doves cooing nearby was an added treat

The new W Express bus stops just down the street, so airport journeys were a breeze, and, as always, I was able to store my bags until my room was ready.

I usually take part in Music Night, but had to miss it this trip. The reason for my visit, a concert by the legendary composer Joe Hisaishi at the Blaisdell Center, fell on the same night. Next time!

Thanks to the maintenance crew for fixing the sound on my TV 😘.
