    We were very happy with our reservation, and entire stay.

    Location was close to beach and stores, parking onsite, our hotel reservation consisted of one room with 2 beds, and 1 room with queen bed and separate air conditioning, kitchen, balcony with nice view; friendly staff; clean. Safe. Good price.

    This place is a SCAM. The minimum expect from a hotel is a place TO SLEEP! U CAN'T SLEEP HERE! The glass tilt windows provide NO sound insulation. It's at a corner with a lot of traffic and noise outside. Between windows frame and wall THERE ARE HOLES. Everything passes there. Mostly sound. We experienced an actual nightmare, without sleeping after 8h flight. Terrible. Our bed seemed to be in the sidewalk! Booking should expel this people from platform! WORST, We complained to booking BUT THEY DID NOTHING!

    Nothing!

    Patrick and staff were extremely accommodating with our stay. We requested our 2nd room to be a longer stay and next to each other and he was able to do that no problem. Parking was always available.

    Nothing to dislike here! Except having to leave ☺️

    We loved staying here, it feels like your own apartment with everything you need. Very clean & well managed property with a great routine in place so you always have clean towels etc when you need. Very warm welcoming from management & lovely ladies who will clean your room several times a week if you want. We booked 2 weeks & ended up staying 5 because it was perfect for us. Great location on the nicer side of Waikiki, an easy walk to the beach & main shopping area. The hotel sits along a scenic river with a lovely view of the mountains. There is a great path that runs along the river to exercise or morning stroll while the sun is rising, & beautiful to walk along at dusk, we often spotted exotic birds which was lovely. It is achievable to see the best of the island from here with or without a car. Since we drive on the other side of the road, we used the local buses that run along the next street & reached Waimanalo, Hanauma Bay. Kailua, Lanakai which are all the best beaches. We loved the Hula Shows in the nearby centres. We even enjoyed it at the hotel launderette, sitting in the breeze with the lovely views while we washed & dried our clothes. A wonderful holiday in beautiful Hawaii & we thank you very much for our stay.

    Noise from the street (mainly VERY LOUD car exhaust) in the deluxe room (facing the Ala Wai Blvd) was really excessive.

    Good place to stay in Hawaii. We stayed here for 11 nights. Great location, 7 -10 minutes to the Waikiki Beach. If you ask, they might provide you with everything you need, like beach chairs, beach towels, snorkeling mask, etc. Cleaning is 3 times per week. It's a little bit old hotel, so some things in the room are old fashioned, but in good condition. Think of it as a retro vibe :) We had amazing views from our balcony, but unfortunately, the street side was too loud because of the road nearby. But if you have good sleep, it's not a problem. In a room we had a kitchen, so it's a big plus if you need a special kind of food to eat or just trying to save money on restaurants. Parking is available in the basement and priced reasonably. The manager was helpful and accommodating. Recommend this hotel!

    It is a bit noisy at night. However, this wasn't a problem for us.

    We had a great stay here. The location is ideal for exploring Waikiki but also the whole island of Oahu. The furniture was a bit outdated, however it was all clean and the fridge and microwave were completely new. It is also possible to get snorkeling equipment and beach toys which was great. Communication with the manager was always friendly and easy going. We would definitely stay here again.

    It is a small hotel, however it is safe, staff is friendly! Price is good compare to other hotels…

    The location is great! Close to lots of restaurants. (Within 10 minutes walking). There are several shopping centers nearby including Nordstrom Rack, Ross Department store, Macy, if you want to shopping luxury store, GUCCI, LV ….are all within walking distance. There is also a pick up and drop off station for all day trips tours. Just in front of the Ross department store! So the location is very good

    Some of the kids mentioned that the beds were too hard. I found my bed to be comfortable and I slept well. It's on a busy roadway so there is some occasional city noise, but we packed sound machines to that sleeping through the noise was easier.

    This is a great place for a Hawaii/Waikiki family vacation that won't break the bank. It felt like home and the kids looked forward to crashing here after a long day sightseeing or at the beach. We were treated very graciously by the staff whenever we made a request. Having a kitchen in each room meant we could prepare simple meals for the varied interests of our kids. Parking was perfectly adequate. It was really nice to be so close (short walking distance) to all the shopping and eating venues in Waikiki.
