This is where they excel:  Friendly staff & budget-friendly in this costly state of Hawaii.
This is where they're convenient:  Within walking distance of main-strip of downtown Waikiki. Reasonable walk's distance from a beach.
This is where they're average:  This is a motel (not a hotel).
This is where they have much room for improvement:  Maintenance and housekeeping!  While the day-to-day housekeeping services were adequate, the curtains were filthy (ie, the sheers are dirty & frayed and need to be replaced; the room-darkening curtains are stained and unkept).  In addition, the glass doors in the shower are not shiny, the casing around the doors is yellowed with age and cracked/chipped, there's too much evidence of mold/mildew in the sealant, and that old tile needs to be ripped up or re-grouted and then PROPERLY vacuumed and mopped between guests. The flooring in general (carpeting, vinyl, etc) was not impressive. Lastly, why were there so many other people's hair strands on my bathroom floor?
