Its a place to stay
Simple place to stay in Wakiki. Walking distance to beaches and good food. Parking sucks, $40 a night, which is crazy, but theres really no other options. Theres no kitchenette, just a microwave and a toaster. Didnt really matter becuase we ate out most of the time. Overall, its just a vaction crash pad and thats all we needed.

Excellent Location
Location is excellent so convenient to be right in the begining of Waikiki! Sunrise was amazing from our room window. Traveled with my daughter for the weekend and it was so close to Ala Moana and lots of places to eat. Super cute lot with food trucks right accross the street and an ABC store right next. It is an older property and the room itself could use some upgrades. It was clean but could have used a new shower curtian liner and some fine detail cleaning. Not all items listed and shown online were available in the room. Room is very small not a lot of space for luggage. Worked out perfect for our stay though. No street parking but parking is available for $45 per day ($40 if prepaid for multiple days)

Great Place to stay in Oahu
The unit was clean, located well, easy to check in and out and was very nice. The property management was very responsive when the microwave didn’t work. We had a new one the next day. The only suggestions would be: 1) more shelves on the walls to put clothes from the suitcase. Very tight to move with two suitcases. 2) New mattress for the bed by the windows. It is very old and worn out and when you sit or lie on it, you touch the boards below and it’s not comfortable. Otherwise the accommodations were great! Totally recommend this location and unit for a nice place to stay. Loved the access to the pool and barbecues! Not sue if I received my damage deposit back yet but am hoping that will be coming soon. We left the place spotless.

Old, tacky, randown, ghetto place. Matresses are cheap quality and pillows are flat as pancakes, the drapes are being held by thoughts and prayers, the once white microwave is all kinds of yellow shades from how old it is, and the hand drawing "hi"happy face on the wall above the toilet is creepy. Did not stay a single night of the 4 I had paid for, there was a dead roach legs up right outside, not the small kind, those big ones, and all I could think was there's bed bugs here, now, Idk if there were any, but I wasn't gonna stay and find out. I said hell no and booked my stay at Hyatt, there was just no way my kids and ai were gonna stay there. The pics on the ad are black and white for a reason and they really did their best at those, fooled me into booking it. The building itself and the parking employees, one word, ghetto. Would not recommend.

Great spot!
I really enjoyed my stay here. For the price, it was perfect. I read the reviews, which were correct with not having a dresser to store clothing in. Since it was only me, I used the other bed to lay out my belongings. There is also a small corner clothing hanger piece so you can hang some of your things. I liked the location and room. It had so much light! Looking out the window to my left wete the mountians and to the right was the ocean. Perfect for me! The bed is still and could use a little more padding, but it wasnt horrible.

This is an old hotel. It is run down but clean and maintained. The room is small. There are two queen sized beds that need new mattresses. There is no room for luggage. We slept one to a bed with suitcases on our beds. It's ok if you only need a place to shower, change and sleep.

Great Location, Small Room, Terrible Elevator
This was a great little place to stay. Beautiful view of the canal and a bit of Waikiki from the massive window. Easily walkable to anywhere you want to go, so don't rent a car. It costs $40/night to park a car there, so just walk or rent a car each day you need one. The elevators were terrible. There were three elevators that could go up, but there was usually only one working at a time due to maintenance or due to the "upgrades" they were doing. We waited over 15 minutes one morning to get downstairs and we were running to our tour bus because of it. The WiFi decided to stop working for 24h which was also a problem because I didn't have a phone, so we needed to go down to the hotel lobby to use the public wifi there. But don't expect the hotel staff to help you - there is a clear difference between the hotel guests and the VRBO guests; when we booked, I didn't even know it was a hotel. Which means there's a pool there that the hotel guests can use, but not the VRBO guests (which is fine as we weren't expecting one). As for the wifi, I tried unplugging it to get it going, and eventually had to reset the modem completely to get internet. We left before it was on, and when we came back to the room, a lady was looking for the room at the same time to go fix it. I think she was planning on just entering the room without our knowledge to fix it (!) but luckily we showed up at the exact time she did. You can use the gym for $5 for your entire stay, and it's totally worth it as they have a water dispenser there for you to fill up your bottles. The window in the room opens completely, which is scary as you are so high up and it can easily be very dangerous. If you have children - either don't go here or never open the window more than a few inches. Would I stay again? Yeah, I would. I would just give myself extra time because of the elevators and would have a backup plan for WiFi in case it went out.

Perfect home base for our short weekend
The location was great for everything we needed to do. It truly was a short walk to the beach, shops, and food. We arranged for parking in the building by talking to the attendant on duty and were always able to find a spot. We appreciated and followed the "no shoes" rule in the unit. The slippers provided were a really nice touch!

Great Location
For the price, this is the place to stay with kids who are more intent on visiting the mall than the beach. The room is small and there is no closet or luggage stand, so be prepared to sleep with your luggage like I did while my kid got the one coat rack to hang clothes there being no closet. And the view is spectacular. I photographed every sunrise, though the exterior of the window was so dirty I had to zoom out in order to avoid the grime. Have lots of patience or think about using the stairs to get to the laundry or pool. Of the three elevators, one never seemed to be in service and the other two were in constant use so it took quite a while for one to arrive, and then it could be full already. This is a budget accommodation calling itself "Old Hawaii" because it has a plastic pineapple taking up very limited surface space. But you'll be out of the room most hours of the day, so book it and enjoy the view and the convenient location.

Más de lo que esperaba. El departamento está ubicado en una buena área. El lobby, ascensor e interior de los pisos parece un poco viejo, pero la habitación cumple con lo publicitado. Está limpio, tiene una linda vista y cuenta con lo necesario. El único problema es lo caro del estacionamiento y la cantidad de correos que te envían antes de llegar (mucha información y confusa).

Amazing stay!
The view was amazing, watching the sunrise/sunset changing the color of the sky was well worth the value that you are paying for the room. We enjoyed all the restaurants and cafes that were within the vicinity of the place. Cleanliness of the property wasn't the best, but it is what you expected for the value you are paying for the hotel. The elevator takes a while during the day. Parking is within the hotel lobby and you're able to pay for multiple nights which was convenient, though expensive. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay here!

Enjoyed Stay -- Parking was a challenge
The property was clean as advertised. View was great. Beds were clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the stay. Thanks! The biggest challenge was parking. Cost was$35.00 per night not $25.00. And some nights there were no spaces and we had to find parking in strange locations in parking deck... Secondly, the checkin was confusing. The email showed the code for the lockbox as 063* but it was 063. Perhaps the code for the lockbox could be in bold characters in the email to avoid confusion. We did get in after about 15 min of trying.

Living area was great - fine for three young people in two beds. Microwave, Coffee maker, etc. A/C unit is loudish. Fridge is a decent size. Water temperature in the shower might swing a few degrees up or down randomly. SUPER EASY CHECKIN/CHECKOUT JUST TAKE THE CARDS FROM THE BOX/PUT THEM BACK. Waikiki is very walkable and there's plenty of eateries around, as well as shopping centers & BEACHES

The view was as magnificent as the pictures were. This property is in a great location and a walking distance to many restaurants. The shower temperature did fluctuated a bit while in use but it wasn’t a huge inconvenience. The TV remote control batteries also may need replacing. Would definitely stay again at this spot.

There wasn’t an actual comforter on the bed which was odd, only a small throw blanket. I generally get cold at night, so a blanket that covered the bed would have been nice.

It’s a decent simple room, great air conditioning and pretty quiet, I think the only things i had an issue with was the shower. Low water pressure and the temperature had a bit of a mind of its own (could just be the building though). Aside from that, it was a very affordable and great location place.
