The suite I was in was newly renovated - it had nice amenities. I was only in the space for about 8 hours and I was asleep, but the bed was super comfy which made it enjoyable. I was initially worried that it would be noisy because it was right next to the road and overlooking the pool, but with the inner bedroom door closed I couldnʻt hear anything. I would stay here again if I needed another quick overnight. Also - not sure if this was the entire property, but my third floor room was only accessible via stairs. It wasnʻt that bad, but for people with mobility issues or small children, it could be an issue.

Amazing pool and bar area. The kids loved the free hot chocolate in the mornings and the free slushies in the afternoon. The room itself was comfortable, not the best mattresses, but they were okay. The shower pressure was also low. However, even with those minor negatives we would definitely stay here again.

It reminds me of what Hawaii must have been like in the past. Not for the person who wants glitter and all modern but great for someone who wants something really nice. The ‘swing’ bar is not for me but I had a feast of a sandwich there. Really enjoyed my stay and I will return.

Definitely a decent hotel. Great price for sure. Sadly, you do not want room 233. If they give it to you, move immediately. It is directly above the hotel’s speakeasy and bass will bump until 2a as you balcony is directly over it. If you don’t plan to sleep until after 2a then you’re good. If you like flat pillows this is your hotel. Closer to the canal than beach, but not far to walk anywhere. Great hand rolls and udon around the corner and fish market and coffee across the street.

It’s such a cute and quaint little spot, central to a lot of what you’ll wanna be near in Waikiki. Not a big property so not far from the car to the room. If you wanna stay in the hotel area there are bars available, a pool and just an overall chill spot to hangout. I wish I stayed longer but a longer stay is on the list!

Staff was the best! Very accommodating and helpful. 10/10 $30 resort fee $45 valet fee Stairs no elevator Rooms had: Microwave, counter sink, mini fridge, small dining table and chairs, ironing board and iron, robes Shampoo and body wash, wasn’t good quality. Beach/pool- towels included Chairs and umbrellas to borrow at no charge, just on first come first serve They offer free hot coffee in the morning and slushy mid day. Their two bed pool side room, is very small for 4 adults. They were able to accommodate us for a suite, super spacious. Our first room had termites in our bed/room and we were change rooms again. Staff helped with our bags and all. The suites on the second floor are outdated compared to the first floor. The couch was newer, and much more comfortable for their pull out bed. The vibe/environment is good. And the decor is aesthetic. But the hotel is very much motel vibes. Super old, and you can see how they just redesigned the surface. The rooms have a mildew smell, restroom doesn’t have a vent, makes it stuffy and hot, shower is super small. The pool and jacuzzi are very old, water looked foggy. Besides the smell, the AC and room fans make it pretty cold in there. The valet guys could be faster and better, they lag it to bring your car out and one guy actually bent the license plate on our rental. We went into their speakeasy, just for a little, their yuzu martinis were delicious Everything is nearby
