The staff were exceptionally helpful and always available. Housekeeping is top notch.
Pros:

The room has a view of the ocean and the mountains, and could feel the cool ocean breeze. Just at the outskirt of Waikiki but the beaches are 5 - 15 minute walk. There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel, making it super convenient and inexpensive to get around. Lots of restaurant but expensive. There's also 2 very good market nearby, Food Pantry at Eaton Square and Island Country Market.

Cons:

The 2 major stop lights on both side of the hotel were very slow. I think it was made it that way to allow the pedestrians to have a leisure and safe crossing.

Nice for a short stay
Pros:

This is a nice hotel with a good location if you don't mind walking a bit. Rooms are only made every 3 days, but it didn't bother us because we only stayed there 2 nights. Beds were very comfortable and there is free coffee and water downstairs in the lobby. It would be nice if they included breakfast in the price.

Cons:

The pool area is very plain, maybe give it a bit of un upgrade or more welcoming "atmosphere" like potplants or something?

I had a great stay overall and looking forward to coming back in a few months
Pros:

The room was spacious with all the amenities I needed and I even noticed there is a laundry room so I could bring back clean clothes. The staff was friendly and accommodating I would definitely stay again.

Cons:

The parking was a bit crowded and tight but once you get a hang of it it’s not a problem and if you can’t find parking inside there are outside options and the hotel refunds you for the days you can’t park (if that does happen)

Affordable, comfortable, & convenient to all!
Pros:

I went for a quick interisland day trip which required surgery. The staff was friendly, rooms comfortable, and everything was walkable. I always opt to stay here! Plus my service animal was very welcomed

Great value and location.
Pros:

Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Area is great, within walking distance of beach and many other attractions. Food in the area good too. Being from Hawaii, I am aware of the tight spaces of the roads and parking. If you're new to Hawaii, be mindful, garage is very tight. All in all, I think this hotel is a great value. 2 things to know, tight parking and slow elevators, common to the islands.
