The room was clean and spacious, it had a balcony attached that I sat out on every morning and night. Staff was very friendly and helpful with beach supplies available in the office. Over all was a very nice and clean hotel
Great place. Close to beach and the staff was excellent.

For the cost, it was perfect. Location was great, and price too. The restroom was a little dirty as it had lots of bugs, and the room itself was not the nicest. AC worked great and the space was good for me.
The staff were very helpful. The rooms are perfect for what we needed and very convenient. Noticed hair in the shower drain before anyone showered and dishes in the sink. I would still visit again and just ask for a second inspection/cleaning of the room right before checking in

Very old. Needs lots of updates. Had to climb stairs to 6th floor. Tiny showers. Air conditioning half worked. Clean and nice staff.
Great location for walking around Waikiki. The beach and zoo are a couple blocks away, next to the hotel is amazing Korean food trucks (highly recommend the garlic shrimp), and there are lots of ABC stores and other restaurants and shops. The hotel is a run down 2 star hotel, but the rooms have a patio, everything was relatively clean, it had a fridge and microwave and there are beach accessories available for use. Very few parking spaces, so we parked on the street and didn’t have any trouble.

The room was clean. It reminded me of a motel 6. We were able to walk around and shop when the storm let us. Our cruise was delayed so we had to check out and find another hotel. Totally not the fault of the hotel that our room was booked for today.
At first the actual hotel and the block it’s on isn’t much to look at. But this is the definition of “never judge a book by its cover”. This hotel is so conveniently located steps away from the beach, several shopping stores and restaurants. It even has food trucks and an excursion desk right across the street. The actual room was pretty clean, no issues at all and the staff was very helpful and friendly! I would definitely recommend this place and would most certainly return on our next trip
The building is run down not kept up but clean and does not have any amenities. I traveled with 2 other friends and there was not a mirror in the room to get ready (the bathroom was too tight for all 3 of us to get ready in there) and I booked a room with 2 queens and they gave us 2 full size beds. Also the elevator only goes up to the 5th floor and it was a big hassle to haul up all of our luggage up the stairs to the 6th floor. The staff was friendly but only there certain hours. The location was great, close to everything. Overall okay but I would not book here again.
Friendly staff and clean hotel room! Hotel is located in a great spot, close to the beach and main strip of Waikiki. Parking is limited so definitely reserve in advance as possible.
Our stay here was amazing! Location is unbeatable and they offer parking. They also had a basket of items that we could borrow free of charge such as boogie boards, umbrellas and beach towels. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Highly recommended staying here!
The hotel manager and staff were friendly and accommodating. They messaged me ahead of time to find out if there were any special plans or needs required and reserved a spot for parking since I mentioned I had a rental. Unfortunately I had to cut my trip short due to an emergency and they were very kind. It’s not the most luxurious hotel I’ve stayed in but it was fair in price and in a great location close to the beach and shopping and restaurants. If you’re on a budget and want to stay in a prime area, I recommend this hotel.

The room was fairly clean and seems more updated compared to the outside. The air conditioning was nice and worked well. The hotel is within walking distance to the beach, food and all the things. I think they need to replace carpets in the room, because they seemed dirty like they haven’t gotten a thorough vacuum or shampooing, so make sure you bring slippers to walk in the room. The bed was comfortable and the great thing was that you could borrow boogie boards, chairs, etc. for the beach! That was a nice plus!

Staff was very helpful. Rooms were clean with comfortable beds.
This property is a good value if you want to spend less on lodging and not stay in a hostel.
It is next to the food trucks (which also have trash taken out every morning), but this did not bother us.
This place is far from a fancy hotel, but I think it is good value for the money, and is in a great location.
room is clean, only blocks from the beach, a lot of shops nearby, staff very helpful. only one thing is the air condition is very noisy.

The staff were helpful and the room was fine, despite the age and look of the building. Close to the beach and was good for a 2 or 3 night stay.

Perfect location, nice staff but the room was quite small but worked well. There was some odeur in the room but not that bad. It also had a nice balcony.
It was very clean and comfortable with just the right amount of space and the location was the highlight of the entire stay. I will definitely be back!
