Well you're paying for a cheap hotel so you get a cheap hotel! It was okay for us as a young couple, had a convenient kitchenette. The windows are those weird slot windows so they don't block out the street noise at all but with the air conditioner on its a little less noisy. The staff was friendly it's a... More

Don't stay here. It's awful. We had already paid for the place using a prepaid service, but the moment we walked into our room, we knew the place was awful. Paper thin walls (felt like you were standing in a cardboard box), peeling walls, dirty, old, the beds looked ancient, and all that was missing were roaches (and maybe we... More

The man at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful. This hotel isn't far from a beautiful beach. The bed was a bit uncomfortable for our taste so I am taking points off for that.

Kitchenettes were a nice addition. Allowed us to save money on breakfast. Maids were nice enough to wash the dishes too. Overall, good bang for the buck. Don't expect fancy schmancy. No room service one day out of 8 nights. Traffic on Ala Wai can be a bit noisy.

The room was very old and dated looking, but waking up to multiple bedbug bites was terrible! Then they wouldn't refund the nights stay after a visit to the doctor! Do not believe any good reviews that you read and keep looking for another place! This affected us and my brother and his family with bedbugs in BOTH rooms.

We stayed in this hotel last fall. Even though a couple of months passed, we still feel disgusted when we think about this hotel. The front desk was friendly but not helpful. They could not provide any information about the city. The appliances were very old. The bath had stains. The location is close to Waikiki but very noisy with... More

This hotel is reasonable and within walking distance to bus, stores and Waikiki beach. The rates are pretty good and it comes with a full kitchen. There is a grocery store nearby as well.

They told us pets were welcome and out hotel room for 2 nights would be 180 dollars. When we got in they told us that they had a 500 dollar pet deposit!!! They never told... More
