Definitely not a family place. Only good for young people or people who aren't looking for a nice stay

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel was above our expectations. We got a cool city/ canal view, we didn't pay so much to stay there for a week, the room was pretty big and we liked the area, it definately felt safe. The distance from Waikiki beach was a little minus but not a big minus, still it is a 5-10 minute walk but that is ok. The hotel pool and pool deck seemed great […] even though we didn't go swimming. There was one day that the cleaners forgot to make our bed, and the hairdryers are low energy dryers so it takes like two hours to get your hair dry. I would pick the hotel if I came back though. People at front desk were nice and no neighbors bothered us. Read more

It is an average hotel suitable for those who are looking for a low budget stay in the Waikiki area.

Just cheap enough to stay for as couple of days. Conditions were awful. Bath tub peeling coated paint, ac that sounded like a 747 landing, dreary hallways. It was a motel at best. Try to avoid at all cost,but in a pinch, it works.

This hotel is just fine for its price range. Very close to beaches, restaurants, shopping. Our view of the Ala Wai canal and Diamond Head was beautiful. The room and bathroom are tiny (so not meant to spend a lot of time in it with the family), but the shower has a good amount of water from the shower head and always lots of hot water. There was also […] good storage (closet and big dresser) and a drying line in the bathroom. No lanai. If you want to hook up to internet, call ahead, they only have 3 ether net devices to rent out. The beds and pillows are comfortable, the spreads and carpet are old, but clean enough. We had a good air conditioning unit in our room - not moldy smelling like in some hotel rooms in humid climates. There seemed to be plenty of parking available in the attached lot. Read more

I was a little worried about booking this hotel after reading some of the other reviews. They couldn't be more incorrect. All of the staff was wonderful and helpful. The hotel is a little dated, but it is extremely clean. The area is ideal - far enough away from the noise and crowds, but close enough to still enjoy. There are several restaraunts nearby […] - within a few minutes walk. Once again - the best part of the stay was the hotel staff. We stay in budget hotels because we don't spend alot of time in the hotel. The staff at this hotel was by far the most friendly and accommodating that we have encountered. If I could have gone above the five stars on rating the staff I would have. Read more

Nice view. Couldn't open windows for fresh air, smoking and non smoking rooms on same floor. No voice mail for phones. I would not stay there again. Was a long walk to city bus stop.

December 2012- It would be more appropriate to sleep in a park down the street versus in this hotel. Great location however it is in in an apt building with many sketchy associates. Front desk employees were incredibly polite and helpful and the pool on the 6th floor was an asset. Unfortunately, the room was the worst room ever, stained blanket, broken […] bathroom door, gross toilet and I'm not typically picky at all so this says a lotttttttttttttttt. Choose a different low budget room if able to! Read more

This hotel was in no way fancy or luxurious, but the price was right. There was evidence of remodeling on lower floors, so it's possible that the dingy carpet and low blue lights are going away sometime soon. Our room was fine, and clean. The view of the city and the canals below was great. However, being so high up meant we heard the howling winds […] all night long. Also the walls were thin and we overheard some neighbor drama.

appreciated the secure elevator

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Great rates for a basic clean room within walking distance of everything. Third time there. Perfect for an affordable place to come back to after enjoying a days activities. Cheep scooter parking available on site. Hope to go back soon.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was very old, small, and outdated. Besides the lady that checked me in everyone else seem to not be helpful at all. The only thing good about the whole experience was the price!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The staff was generous with their help, tsunami sirens blaring, I was safe up in the 15th floor (the wave was 4 extra inches in the harbor as far as I could tell) it was a fine place to have a cheap room.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The customer service guest: There was a young lady working the front the entire time of my stay. She was not unpleasant but not smiling nor welcoming. Also, I asked her once to hail a cab for a group of 7. They sent a cab that could only seat 6 so 2 of the people in our party had to wait for another cab which took another 30 mins. The elevators: They […] required a room key in order to go anywhere except the lobby. Seemed a bit tedious for the quality of hotel. The room: It was not spectacular. The floor was ok but I was not sure I wanted to walk on it bare foot. The beds did look clean and kept. The view was actually pretty nice of the water and local joggers below. The room did have a small fridge and microwave which was very practical. The bathroom was ok except for the bath/shower. The bath tub needed to be resurfaced (again unsure if I wanted to step in barefoot). The shower curtain did not seem to cover the entire tub very well. Overall, the hotel was not terrible but not impressive by any means. It will be satisfactory for those looking for the lowest possible cost and still be near Waikiki. Truly, you will be getting your moneys worth from this experience. One plus the hotel was well within walking distance of Cheeseburger in Paradise, Waikiki which I attended twice and loved both times. Read more

Shower didn't have enough water pressure so I had a hard time. Carpet in the room looked very old and dirty so I was afraid to walk on my bare foot. It was nice to have a big fridge and microwave. Again, blinds around the windows were all dirty.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I would stay there again for the price point.... being in Hawaii.... one is really never in the room !!

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

If you are on a low budget, I recommend this hotel because the location is good enough but keep in mind how much you pay so you should not expect more.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was everything we were looking for in a hotel, somewhere clean to sleep. The beds were a little on the stiff side, but overall loved the hotel and the view we had. We'd stay here again. Staff was extremely friendly and made our stay more enjoyable. The only true negative would be parking. The hotel doesn't have its own garage and the one connected […] charges $16/day. We ended up finding a garage we could park at for free about 1/2 mile away that worked for us. Read more

i had called a day before to confirm my reservation, i was told early check in was an option because i had a baby. when i arrived to the hotel i was greeted by a gentelmen that was supposly new and i checked in around 1. he told me i would have to wait till 3 and i explained to him i called yesterday and they told me i could check in if rooms were avalible. […] so an hour i waited for him to figure out how to re-do the key for me and i was checked in to a room that was just gross, it still had food stuck in the mircowave and my room faced a hotel where another hotel was so close i couldnt leave my window open because the gentleman across from me could see in my room.....i was beyond dissapointed in the service and cleaniness of the room, i would not reccomend this place or ever stay here again.

Hotel needs a remodeling but for what we paid... no complaints....

Fridge,microwave,drier,A/C,TV are on room but No free internet. Clean.The location is not bad.Near to hilton beach park. There is street parking near hotel beyond the canal. Parking on site $16.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel is run down (i.e. holes in the bedspread, tears and stains in the carpet, etc.), but it is in a relatively good location. The walk to the center of Waikiki Beach is less than a mile, and very pleasant (lots of parks, shops and restaurants on the way). There are additional charges for parking and internet. The pool is adequate, and the pool […] towels are good. There is a great bar downstairs (King's Pub) with very good beer specials. The sundry store and little Japanese food take out are also good. I didn't get to sample the restaurant (Cream Pot), but it looked good. The front desk is supposed to be staffed 24/7, but there were a number of times we could not get anyone there. Overall, it was not bad. Read more

Got there early, however, they wouldn't let us check in until 3. Got to our room and there was still someone cleaning the room. The shower didn't turn off all the way and the toilet kept breaking. Our room was never cleaned in the 5 day period we were there. Cheap hotel, but will definitely fork out more money next time to stay at a better hotel.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We felt very welcome by the staff, who even helped us procure ice for a sore ankle, though one of the missing hotel amenities was ice machines. The hotel is in a shared-use building, with a handful of floors devoted to the hotel. The room was old, but clean, a tiny bathroom and mini tub/shower. Stay here for the convenience and for your budget, it's […] in Waikiki, on the canal, away from noise, and just a few blocks from the beach and great Japanese food. If you can get a south-facing room, 18th floor or higher, you'll be able to see Diamond Head, and possibly the ocean. Amenities: in-room safe, TV, mini fridge, coffee maker, iron, hairdryer. Lacking: lobby lounge space, ice machines, frills. Read more

check-in was easy enough, room shower had issues with inconsistent hot/cold temp, one night I seen a bug outside the doorway threshold, when i asked to have a courtesy late check out male I spoke to was not accommodating, but rather direct to the point and callus. they were conducting construction at my time of stay, before you make reservation call […] to see if it is still the condition, and perhaps consider another site. walls are thin, and a good night sleep will not be had.

This hotel is a bit run down and the neighborhood across street is bad...however it is not far to walk to Ala Moana mall, convention center or Hilton Village/Waikiki. Room was small and aging but the bed & shower were clean so it worked for a one night stay.

THE HOTEL SMELLED

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The area was great, and for the price, I guess, the hotel was good. We expected AC not to be noisy window unit. Our room could have used a little cosmetic fix up and cleaning (i.e. door dirty around handle) beds a little hard, and paying $16 daily for parking was a good price we found later, but we still grumbled at the time. So I would recommend if […] you aren't looking for anything fancy, very basic. Read more

I liked this hotel for several reasons. Most important to me was the location. It was very convenient to shopping and the beach. The staff were friendly and extremely helpful. The room was comfortable, a good size for my needs with a frig, microwave and coffee maker.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The window AC unit was not fitted properly in the cutout opening. The outside air was leaking into the room because the bottom of the unit was not sealed and there was about a 1/2 inch opening along the bottom edge of the unit. The hotel maintenance person stuffed a 20-24 inch sponge like material to plug the opening but it was still leaking altough […] not as much without the "fix". The view of the Aa Wai canal was very good because you looked down on the Canoe Clubs practicing and the baseball and soccer teams playing in the fields adjacent to the canal. The $16.00 a day parking was a nightmare since we were at the hotel for 14 days. No reduced rate available for extended stay at the hotel. Coffee was free only for the first night. No bed/pillow sweet chocolate or cookie. Sticky knobs remote switches should be cleaned. Nightly sirens a problem. Read more

If you are vacationing on a budget and your plan is to be out and about all day and only coming back to the room to sleep, this is the place to stay. You definitely get what you pay for. We asked for a crib twice and did not receive it. The tub was a bit dirty. Other than that, it was a great place to stay on a small budget. Within walking distance […] to the sights and sounds of the city. ***The parking garage is a joke. It's not run by the hotel. Avoid it if you can. It's $16 a night to park there but you have to show your room key before parking. No clear signage stating that you must check in prior to parking your car. Once we were checked in I asked the parking attendant if it was $16 for each night since we were not moving the car again until check out. She said "no". Of course after we checked out and were leaving, they demanded the rest of the parking fees for our stay. The manager and garage attendant were unprofessional. If you can avoid parking there...I would. Read more

It's a little private hotel with lots of convenient stores within the surrounding areas. 21/2-3 Stars. Price was reasonable & front desk agents were hospitable.

This is not a luxury hotel but, the staff was great and it is a good place to spend the night

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The management of this hotel need to look within its staff, amenities, hotel condition and their advertisement in regards to internet accessibility. At check in, I was greeted by a hotel staff. The problem started when the key card I was given does not work properly. I could not use the elevator as it needed your room key before it operates. I was given […] 5 different keys and a hotel staff to help me open my door to my room. One of the elevator I used stopped at the 18th floor and would not go up or down. Internet access is in the bar on the bottom floor of the hotel lobby. The hotel does not have internet access. Very poor customer service. Read more

The staff helped us a lot when we had issues with our bags and shuttles. The hotel itself is a bit run-down and could benefit from a facelift (paint, replace fixtures, update appliances). Our room was small. The TV remote was bigger than the TV.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Transportation here is convenient, close to everything. Don't stay here if you want a luxury room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was a decent hotel. I just liked the price. They don't clean well. There was coffee bag in coffee maker for 3 days. Nobody cleaned it.
