Room was good size, 2 double bed, Keurig coffee maker, ice cold mini fridge & microwave. The room was clean and we typically just have our room refreshed every 2nd day. The towels are typical of a value hotel. Our shower door frame could use some caulking refresh and rusty bathroom door frame base could use a quick touch-up. The wifi was excellent, the beach towel and chairs sign-out was great. Location is fantastic as a regular visitor to Honolulu. Fort DeRussy Beach park was a short 7 min stroll. The $35.00 nightly (Waikiki going rate w/ in/out) parking was convenient located just next to the Post Office. See you again! Mahalo!

The room was very well appointed. It had everything we needed. It was spacious enough that we weren’t walking over each other. Everything was very clean. The staff was very helpful day or night. The only drawback for us as a non-partying couple is that on Friday and Saturday night. It was quite loud outside. I should have done more research on the area and realized that it’s pretty busy there.
