The location is very convenient and close to Waikiki beach and many food options shopping. Staff was very kind. Room seemed very clean, ac worked great. The view was very beautiful, and the patio was a nice plus. We were able to get free parking a couple of blocks down, which the staff recommended. If you don’t mind walking I think it’s a great option! Be aware that there is a nightclub below so if you are sensitive to noise that may be something to note, but it didn’t bother me! One thing I do wish was that maybe an email could have been sent out before hand to explain the check in process a bit more because it was a little confusing at first with the desk being located on the fifth floor, but again nothing to really complain about! I was even able to get early check in which was great! Had a lovely time! I think it is a reasonable option for the price!

I have stayed at various rooms at this property. Most Rooms are privately owned and rented different ways. This room was this first without an ocean view. It was larger too. Nice kitchen, microwave. Was short on utensils. Rug was worn but ok. LOVE the 1/2 block to beautiful swimming beach and other water activities. Steps to many different places to eat. Frequent buses to almost everywhere. Will stay again.

Amazing views, super friendly staff, parking was super easy and affordable and free option side street parking was available on the next street over. It was just outside the craziness of Waikiki but still right at the end of the street where everything was super convenient and within walking distance. Loved this and will def stay again!!!

Loved the location! Right across from the zoo and at the end of the city. Beautiful beach is right there. The chair that is in kitchen area was a wicker chair and had a cushion covering a good size hole. The mattress made us role into the middle, very uncomfortable. There was no dresser to put your clothes. We had to live out of our suitcases on the floor.

It is not the hotel that I booked, it does not have a front desk for checking, the room does not have a telephone, the nightstand is an old refrigerator, the room at night is too bright, this is definitely not the hotel room that I paid for. This is a scam

I stayed here for my honeymoon and was inconvenienced the whole time. We booked a nicer room with a better view in our package and they gave us a dirty small room. We did not ask for and they did not let us know either that we would be getting a horrible room. We had to stay there for two days when it cut into our honeymoon time so two out of the five days, we had to stay in a bad room and when we moved to the new room, it was slightly better, but it was still dirty. It was still rundown, and it did not match the pictures at all. We also paid for parking there cause we got a rental car and the manager kept parking in our space other people kept parking in our space. It was supposed to be assigned parking but every time we had to call the front desk when we’d really not wanna worry about that and it was such an inconvenience the whole time we were there we asked if we can get a refund or refunded the difference of what we paid and they just laughed in our face and we were so disappointed when we first got there cause the room looks so rundown, and it did not match the photos

The hotels in a great location, but the staff weren't that friendly, rooms were very average, not serviced whilst we were there for the 5 nights, had to argue with the front desk, which is in room 512, not as walk in, the office is a shameful mess, had issues trying to get the rooms we booked, never again..
