Pros:

I liked the employees they were very friendly. The location was good and price of the rooms were good as well.

Cons:

The bedrooms were old and not the nicest. The bathroom had no fan which caused a lot of moisture causing black mold on walls and tile. The lamps had weird stains and the fridge wasn't on so I had to turn it on myself.

最高です。また利用したいです。
Pros:

10月にサーフトリップで1週間滞在。素泊まりのシンプルなホテル。ワイキキビーチのサーフポイント(Canoes,Publics,Queens)まで徒歩圏内で、宿の近くにABCstoreがあって便利。レンタカーは近くのマリオネットホテルの中のエンタープライズレンタカーを使ってました)

お部屋の掃除リネン交換は3日に1度、口コミに虫が出る旨を見かけましたが、私の滞在中は全く出ませんでした。ランドリールームは25セント硬貨6〜7枚必要でフロントで両替してもらえます。フロントにお願いすると電気ケトルを貸してもらえます。スタッフの皆さんも親切で快適に過ごせました。

Cons:

快適で特に思いつかないですが、キッチン無しの部屋を使ってました。どこかに共同利用の電子レンジがあったらと思いました。どこかにあったのかもしれませんが、わかりませんでした。

Di not recommend - dirty, musty, and generally kind of gross.
Pros:

The only thing we liked was the location

Cons:

Dirty, musty rooms, everything is old and stained. Hard to stay in room for long - caused allergic reactions in everyone in our group. Also had an issue with the reservation through booking.com, the app reserved two rooms instead of one, though it said only one was reserved. Hotel unable to change. Would not recommend. Chose this place because of the option to have one queen and two singles - nearly impossible to find, but regretted it.

Pros:

Hotel dość stary i podniszczony, pokoje duże z aneksem kuchennym i balkonem. Hotel dla mało wymagających. Obsługa gdy pralka i suszatka nie działały była bezradna. Świetna lokalizacja, 3-4 minuty od plaży Waikiki. Mimo wad za taką cenę warto.
