Convenient locaton gave me easy access to the beach, shopping and public transportation.
Pros:

The room had a small kitchenette are with a stove, sink, microwave and refrigerator. The hotel is a short walk to and from the beach. It's close to bus stops and there's adequate space for an Uber driver to pull up. I felt comfortable walking there at night. The location made for a nice morning walk through Waikiki.

The staff were friendly and helpful.

Cons:

I spotted 3 bugs in the room. The window doesn't have a screen so I couldn't leave it open otherwise bugs might fly in. The window sill needs to be cleaned. I couldn't find a comforter.

Nice place…
Pros:

Great location, the free towels and beach chairs are great add on.
The staff is nice.

Cons:

When we stayed the elevator was shut off because some guy pulled off the fire alarm… which also set the fire alarm mid night!!
Also another person was knocking on all doors mid night..: so that really ruined our night.

Customer service & Staff were very dissapointing
Pros:

The top flr an corner end units are desired

Cons:

The short lady hotel manager is very very rude and harrassed me an my guests by calling repeatedly over an over an over early in the morning at 8 to tell us we need to leave check out at 12 in which we already knew that, staff never cleaned our room like we asked to do,because i opened a dresser drawer, jumped when i seen a huge dark brown roach inside that smelled like roaches an tried to kill it after hittin it left the drawer wide open so they can see it an clean the roach out. After coming back from stores i rechecked drawer was closed by staff but the roach was still there dead. We had to call over a few times just to get towels sheets toilet paper as i request was ignored. Gave me a really hard time with extending because house that flooded was not ready.

Pros:

It was okay.

Cons:

The hotel needs updating. I paid for a room with a microwave and a kitchenette, but I didn’t receive either. I ask for a queen bed and I got two old fashioned twin beds that didn’t have a comfort set, nor did the air work properly.

I will stay here again!
Pros:

This hotel is about the location and value. The rooms are clean but what you would expect from an older hotel and reflected in the cost per night.

Cons:

Everything was good and exactly what I expected.

Fine on a tight budget but wouldn’t stay again.
Pros:

Staff were very friendly and helpful, allowed me to check in early and gave me a larger room than what I’d booked. Location is fantastic, just a few minutes walk from the beach and bus stops.

Cons:

This property is in desperate need of renovation. The bathroom had cracked tiles, a cracked sink, and the shower looked moldy. The mattresses were old and worn out. The kitchenette was also falling apart. It’s fine if you’re traveling on a tight budget and not planning to spend much time in the room, but the condition was much worse than how it appears in the photos. I also didn’t like that there is a cannabis dispensary next to the hotel entrance.
