Categories

Cleanliness
8.5
Multiple reviews explicitly note clean rooms; some mention no daily housekeeping but overall cleanliness is reported as good for the hotel's tier.
Service
8.5
Staff repeatedly described as friendly and helpful across several reviews, supporting an above-average service score.
Location
8.8
Location is a consistently praised feature (central Waikiki, short walk to the beach, close to cruise port), justifying a strong rating.
Room Quality
6.8
Rooms are frequently described as dated, old/outdated, with small/cramped bathroom fixtures and some noise issues; this lowers the score.
Amenities
7.4
On-site amenities like self-service laundry and cheap nearby parking are positive, but very slow elevators and limited housekeeping frequency are notable negatives.
Value for Money
8.6
Several reviewers call this the best value in Waikiki and emphasize reasonable/cheap pricing for the location, so value is rated above the overall target.
Food and Beverage
8.1
No consistent hotel F&B feedback in reviews; nearby food options (IHOP, multiple eateries) are noted. Assigned the target rating due to limited direct mentions.
Overall Experience
8.1
Overall stays are described as comfortable and positive in many reviews; assigned the target overall rating to reflect aggregate sentiment.

Comfortable and quiet
Pros:

Good location in Waikiki with reasonable prices (though few prices are reasonable in Hawaii). I've stayed here on numerous occasions and the staff is always exceptional. There's an IHOP next door and a lot of Waikiki is within walking distance.

Cons:

The elevators could be faster but I am rarely in a hurry. Things moved slower in 1970 when it was built.

un séjour au calme, reposant.
Pros:

Je viens dans cet hôtel depuis 2007. Il est très bien situé et dans un quartier calme. Tout est à proximité à pied. Si besoin de se rendre beaucoup plus loin, les bus sont très proches.

Cons:

les ascenseurs sont parfois inquiétant, ils mettent du temps à s'ouvrir et ensuite les chiffres qui indiquent l'étage passent par tous les chiffres clignotant au passage....

Pros:

Very convenient location. It’s a short drive to and from HNL and is relatively quiet despite being right by Waikiki. Speaking of which, super short walk to the beach and a nice walking distance to Ala Moana.
