A bit conflicted writing this review, but I'll start with this. Hawaii is not what it's cracked up to be, at all. It's dirty underdeveloped, unreasonably expensive etc. Honolulu & Oahu overall are a tad better than the rest, but with that come hotel prices are totally unjustified. This hotel however cost me less for 4 nights than 1 night at more expensive ones that are very close to it. So if I'm going to a disappointing destination, I'd rather pay this price. The place has good newer bathroom vanity and kitchenette countertop. Has clean towels, shower& provides nice toiletries. Newer clean carpet. The bed had clean linens but the mattress & pillows underneath smelled like marijuana and ungroomed sweaty pets. This was a non- starter for me despite the other positives. Other negatives: 1) very noisy exhaust in the bathroom even when AC isn't on; 2) AC leaks after an hour of continuous work.; 3) food truck right outside regularly burned food & you could smell it right in the room, very strong & unpleasant smell; 4) seems like every day is trash day in this neighborhood; that's good, except you smell it even through closed doors and windows in the room. A little dirty outside the hotel, & and better on next street over but don't let that cleanliness mislead you. Waikiki supermarket within 5 min walk has good poke that you can buy by the weight.

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.
