I didn't really get any clear explanation as to why they charge $35/day on top of the amount paid for booking. Seems like the low price advertised was a bait so tourist will book then ones committed they drop the extra charge on check-in, otherwise no one will book. Think about it guys will you choose this old hotel over 4 stars for the same price? Ofcourse not!
My advice... DON'T GET HOOKED on their lower price ads, IT'S NOT WORTH IT in the end.
This place is a great bang for the buck. Location is pretty handy just about right in the middle of town. I complained about the shower head and there was a new one when I got back at the end of the day. I was also able to get a bunch of rapid rewards points for my southwest account! This made my flight cheaper overall. I'll keep this place on my list for the future.
The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was clean, and the location was just what I needed (within walking distance for everything). However, everything in the room was outdated (by about 30-40 years) and not functioning properly. Every metal surface was rusted (which I understand with the salt air, but small enough to be addressed in the rooms). The sliding door to the balcony wouldn't slide and I almost got stuck outside a couple times (so I ended up leaving it open once I got outside). The shower pressure was almost non-existent and kept drastically changing from very hot to ice cold while showering. They did say they were having plumbing issues while I was there and had to have the water shut off for two hours to make repairs, but the repairs did not fix the pressure or the drastic temperature changes. Also, there's a $35/night service fee, even if you don't have your room serviced. So, when you think you're paying $358 +tax for a room, you actually end up paying over $727. Just a heads up. I know it was one of the cheaper hotels in the area, but my sister stayed down the block for only $80 more for her stay and their hotel actually had coffee and breakfast for their guests. I fell like for what I paid, there could have been more amenities and been a nicer room.
This is the place you stay at if you’re planning to never be at the hotel on vacation. My husband and I chose this hotel because of how affordable it was so we could splurge on everything else. It was about 13-15 min walk to the beach and strip. The hotel was quiet and nearby ABC stores to get supplies/snacks etc. It is NOT nice and was dumpy. The shower tile and grout were dirty and slimy. There are no bathrobes. We did use the mini fridge and drawers for our stuff. The front desk staff was not welcoming (it was late when we arrived) but they looked depressed and tired. Ubers found the hotel no problem. Either way, it worked for our purpose to save money, but would not recommend.
This hotel is definitely not fancy or anything extra. It is everything we needed and fit the budget. The room was small but cozy, they offered a mini fridge, coffee maker and coffee (as requested). When we arrived our shower head was terrible (no pressure) but when we asked if they would look at it, they did so immediately, and installed a brand new shower head (problem solved). The service was great and employees were very nice.
It’s a good budget-ish* hotel a five minute walk from Waikiki.
The decor is a little dated, but satisfactory.
Rooms, ours at least came with a mini kitchen, which helps save money for families.
We did notice a few cockroaches, however I’ve found most tropical budget places have them or similar. Hard to get rid of in that climate. Didn’t bother me.
For a hotel not on the beach the location is wonderful with tons of near by restaurants.
* I’ve found Hawaii accommodations to be very expensive now. Double from just a few years ago. And I hate those stupid resort fees. Ours was $41US a night.
The beds were rough to sleep in and the pillows were like bricks! The room and bed were small but the room was clean. All the essentials for one or two people. Parking wasn’t available so be prepared to find street parking and make sure you read the parking signs or you will get towed! The location is near all the shops in Waikiki! If I were to stay again I would definitely upgrade my room. From my room 214 there was no view, maybe higher up you can see something but buildings. If you book on a website, be prepared for a $100 deposit and an extra hotel fee of $45.
Room had bugs. There were roaches and it was very unsanitary. I highly recommend looking for somewhere else to stay, especially of you don't wanna bring home bed bugs. The overall service was good and the location was decent.
