It was wonderful how close we were to eating and the beach. Wish the a/c unit wasn’t so loud (had three speeds but only one speed worked). More than one towel and one pillow per guest would have been nice.

The room was clean and good size, it has a electric stove, microwave and a mini fridge. Location next to the beach a plus. The door key didn’t work that well and check-in office is two blocks away from Diamond Head Inn. You have to check-in at there sister hotel PB Hotel and the pool is about two blocks away from the hotel at another sister hotel. NO CONTINENTAL BREAKFAST and Parking is First Come First Serve.

We hope to resume our basic continental breakfast soon, but it will be after social distancing is no longer an issue. I do apologize for the key, and know it can be very inconvenient to have keys remade. WE hope to reopen our lobby as soon as we get the necessay staffing to make it possible, and do hope you will try us again.
