Was comfortable and had what you need. It is no glamorous resort but very close to everything to walk to. All were very
Pros:

Location is brilliant! Had what you needed. Was clean and staff were exceptional! Could see the Friday night fireworks from our balcony!

Cons:

It is dated but as I mentioned above it has what you need if you don’t want a 5 star resort.

Un séjour au top
Pros:

Malgré que l'hôtel soit un peu vétuste, les chambres sont propres, bien entretenues, les chambres sont spacieuses (idéales pour déballer les valises et les familles avec des enfants).
Les chambres sont équipées d'une kitchenette bien équipée.
L'hôtel est bien situé, à proximité de tout (Internationnal Market, restaurant et bar, la plage,...).
Les personnes à l'accueil sont gentilles.
Le point plus plus c'est la gratuité du parking, c'est magnifique !

Cons:

Juste un détail mais rien de grave le bruit de la climatisation est un peu dérangeant.

Relaxing, nestolgic, and close to shops and restaurants
Pros:

Pool and how elevators weren't super busy. This place has been my grandparents place to stay when they came to Oahu. It brought all good memories of my childhood days.

Cons:

Uber couldn't deliver straight to door. There were 2 nights I had to go down to lobby to receive orders after a long day. All I needed was a simply delivery to my room door.

The stay at the the Ilima Hotel was excellent: I enjoyed the Wednesday class the provided too!
Pros:

I really liked the walkability to the Waikiki area. The International Market Place was 2 blocks away, there were many food options also within walking distance.

Cons:

The only thing I did not like was I could not get the tv to operate: I could see the channel menu, but I was unable to input and change to get any channels.. It probably took 2 seconds to ask one of the staff for help, but I was only there on an overnight.

Family time!
Pros:

Very convenient location. Close to the beach and all of Waikiki. We were able to walk to everything but also had a rental car to drive the island. Lovely staff! Welcoming and helpful! Free parking but the lot is limited! We loved having a kitchenette in our room for breakfast!

Pros:

Great value. Apartment condition and size was perfect for the 4 of us. Only one bathroom but we were able to manage. Parking included was a huge benefit.

Cons:

washer & dryer in room. There was ample storage space so it would have been nice to have.

Would definitely recommend if you want a larger space for a family and close to main Waikiki sights.
Pros:

Excellent value for money, good location, sizeable rooms with kitchenette. Sweet and well maintained family owned property. Lovely staff.

Cons:

Wish pool was bigger! And that they had umbrellas when it rained. Minor points.

Misrepresentation
Pros:

I was so looking forward to my stay at this hotel. I really enjoy smaller, vintage hotels and the reviews were excellent.
At arrival, the outside definitely has a 1950s appearance and was attractive. Check in was smooth with polite staff. The lobby was small and had artwork portraying classic Hawaiian scenes.
Then we entered our room. Some walls were damaged and stained. Others were only partially painted. The curtains and chair cushions were severely stained. The bathroom sink was rusty. The room had a foul odor.
The only positive I can mention is that despite the unit not being maintained properly, it was clean. Floors, surfaces were all given attention.
We had a balcony but didn't use it because it looked over some dilapidated apartments.
Finally, it was quite loud. The windows and a/c unit were not sealed properly and the hotel next door was quite boisterous into the late evening.
This accomodation was quite disappointing.
