This hotel is situated on the Main Street in Waikiki and walking distance to dining, shopping and transportation options. Four adult occupants stayed in a two queen bed with kitchenette room with a modernised toilet and newly renovated bathroom. The queen beds seem more like double beds as per Australian standards. There was enough room for our luggage and amenities were sufficient, such as coffee machine, toaster, microwave, hot plates and fridge.

We throughly enjoyed our stay , However . The rooms are in serious need of some maintenance. I feel if the rooms were updated this hotel would be able to receive more stars. Cupboards are broken , curtains are old and need a good clean. Kitchenette had little to no utensils. Room had a musty smell. But in saying this. The pool area is lovely Staff are amazing and friendly Great positioning in Waikīkī , making everything in walking distance. We would return as we found this place so much quieter than the larger resorts. And very affordable. Mahalo 🙏
