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.

Liked: Cleanliness
We had absolutely no issues. We read parking is bad, but we didn’t have a car so not an issue. Yes, the building is old. But it was clean. The location is what made it great. It seemed a little sketchy right away, but the more we were there the less worried we were. And it is truly 2 blocks to the beach! If you are just looking for somewhere to sleep for a night or 2, this will do the job! If you want somewhere to hang out over the course of a few days, might not be what you are looking for. All depends how high your standards are! For us, we just needed somewhere to check into late in the day, then we walked around to check out the area and have a bite to eat and drink. The next day we were out exploring all day and came back to sleep, then checked out the next morning. So it did the trick and didn’t break the bank!

Very nice property! Parking spots are tight. The parking spots will fit an F150 but I do not recommend, the alley entrance is very narrow. The room was clean, cozy and the A/C worked well. Staff is very friendly and helpful, they have loads of beach gear to borrow. I would definitely stay here again.

Nice location, when u get out there is a lot of places to eat, 2 blocks away from Waikiki beach, a block away from bus stop going to Ala Moana, and located just behind Hyatt Regency. You can borrow beach chairs n paddle board for free. Aircon is in perfect working order. Will stay there again if i go to Honolulu for a few days. Reasonable rates.

The location is perfect. That's the only good thing about this hotel besides its location. ​As soon as I entered the room, the overwhelming smell of rotten yogurt hit me. It was truly disgusting and made my head hurt. I reported it to a staff member, and they said it was an issue with the refrigerator. However, I don't believe a refrigerator issue could cause a smell that sickening. ​They couldn't move me to a different room because the hotel was fully booked. Anyway, there's nothing good about this place except the location. The staff members were friendly, though.
