Depending on the room you stay. We stayed one night in the room on 2nd floor. The sewer smell was horrible. The phone didn’t work, WiFi didn’t work. Then front desk changed us to a different room on 5th floor, it was much better than the first one.

Staff was friendly. Room had clean sheets and comfortable bed... If you can overlook the stale liquor smell and the dirty toilet, leaking shower head and tables not being cleaned, it was ok. Location was walkable and convenient, stayed on the back of the hitel so not alot of noise. Definitely could use an update... not just lipstick on a pig.

When we checked in, the bathroom. Looked like work was being done. The vent was removed from the ceiling. Room needed cleaning. Staff offered a new room. The new room there was a roach in the bathroom. The glass shower door was not installed correctly so it kept falling off the track and trapping me in the shower. Late at night a maintenance worker knocked on our door and didn’t identify themselves, when we answered he asked if we were ok. That was strange since it was late and we didn’t call for maintenance. We tried requesting to cancel our reservation and refund through our booking site. With several attempts to contact management there was no response. We have not received any follow up from the hotel either.

After an extremely thorough search this was my #1 choice & it was perfect: well-priced, exceptionally clean property & rooms, exceptional housekeepers, amazing pool, 24-hr. front desk, hotel centrally located in a busy & safe part of town. 10-minute walk to Waikiki beach & Denny's for a hearty breakfast which you'll need (tell Mgr. Eric a 49ers fan sent you). You'll pay $20+tax/day at check-in for use of pool & pool towels but you'll be glad you did.

The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of the Waikiki hustle and bustle. Lots of shopping and dining options plus centrally located for excursion pick up/drop offs. The only con I have is regarding the offsite parking that requires a walk around the block. That gets hectic when you’re arriving/departing with all your suitcases.

Excellent location, across ABC store. Waikiki trolley main terminal is only 2blocks walk. The hotel is along the strip, 5min walk from the beach. The hotel is carpeted. Didn’t expect that on a hot weather. There’s a pool but a bit small. Theres No gym, We stayed in a kitchenette room but didn’t use it there’s so much restaurants to choose from outside. We had to check out late and got charged extra $50. Aso there’s a resort fee of $20/night Otherwise, overall stay is good. AC is blasting and our room is facing the strip so even if u got tired from walking around and just want to chill at the hotel, just go on the balcony and ur not going to get bored
