The room was very roomy and clean cold ac and just very homey. Quiet to where we had no problems with noise. We like it a lot, the staff was very nice and welcoming.

Just having to wait for 2 hours to check in was a little bit of a hassle but we got over it and waited patiently.

True Hawaiian Gem!!
Pros:

I was extremely impressed at the value I received for the money I paid. So extra clean and comfortable, the room came with everything I could possibly need to enjoy my short stay on the island. Microwave stove full size refrigerator very comfortable bed and a balcony that I thoroughly enjoyed relaxing on Sunday morning. The location for me could not have been better. About a 5-minute barefooted walk to the dive shop and I was diving the wrecks and reef of Oahu. Pat the manager was more than accommodating and offering to meet any requests or needs I may have, but all the bases were covered. This place is surely a hidden gem in Honolulu.

Cons:

My stay wasn't long enough. I had to get back to work.

Great location blocks away from Wakiki Beach
Pros:

Great location: you have the canal view overlooking the river from one side of the windows and are only a few blocks away from Waikiki Beach and major shopping malls. Morning walk is peaceful. All facilities are functional.

Cons:

Utility can be a little outdated, but that is expected and part of the charm.

Curtains
Pros:

The full kitchen and hardwood floors

Cons:

Everything was wonderful.An improvement would be room darkening curtains in the bedroom because of street lighting.

Good location, but the room is not decent enough.
Pros:

The location is really good. Walking distance to the famouse beach. A lot of shopping and eating facilities nearby.

Cons:

The property manager said that the hotel check-in is only by oppointment. I had some delay on my car rental process, which made me worry about the check-in. When I arrived (a little late), nobody is there. I rang the bell (also can make a phone call), and after about 5 mins, the owner showed up and assisted on check-in. I hope the manager can give the phone or bell as an option in advance so that guests don't need to worry about being late.
The room is kind of messy. Too much stuff. The sofa is somewhere nobody goes to. Maybe the building needs to be renovated.
