The location of this place was great -blocks from the beach and great shopping. A grocery store nearby let us stock our room with staples like yogurt and bread (yay for cost cutting, we're still poor students.) The rooms were TINY though. We originally rented a "suite" with a few friends that was supposed to house six people, which couldn't... More

Beds are comfortable and updated. Rooms are spacious and have always found them in good repair although dated but not neglected. Location is great one block walk to The... More

Good price- wonderful staff- but place needs a sprucing up- management agrees- mediocre breakfast- good location- few blocks away from Waikiki Beach. Good place to stay if only in Oahu for a few days.

The room (1st floor) was dirty, hairs everywhere. Very noisy, I couldn't sleep for a week. No windows to close. Every word of the people in the next room can be heard. The connecting door is bad. The room is much too small for the price. Shower temerature is changing from cold to very hot very quickly. Fitness area is... More

Chose this hotel based on reasonable price and proximity to Convention Center. Everything about our stay exceeded my expectations- very good, hot breakfast each morning, extremely comfortable beds (I wish I had looked what kind of mattress it was, I want to buy one!), almost no street noise (granted, I was on 14th floor), nice balcony, and very clean rooms....

I had a standard room and it was small; really small. I was alone and it was only for one night so I didn't mind. I asked for the wifi passcode and was told no wifi in the rooms. Are you kidding? That's the top priority for a hotel room in 2013 next to "do you have running water?". They... More
