10/10 Exceptional

Amazing pool and bar area. The kids loved the free hot chocolate in the mornings and the free slushies in the afternoon. The room itself was comfortable, not the best mattresses, but they were okay. The shower pressure was also low. However, even with those minor negatives we would definitely stay here again.
Kevin, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It reminds me of what Hawaii must have been like in the past. Not for the person who wants glitter and all modern but great for someone who wants something really nice. The ‘swing’ bar is not for me but I had a feast of a sandwich there. Really enjoyed my stay and I will return.
Kyle, 2-night trip

Charming hotel with great staff

Lovely, smaller sized hotel in a very convenient location close to the beach, shops, restaurants and the best coffee in Waikiki (Kona Coffee Purveyors). Rooms are spacious and very clean, and staff are wonderful.

My second stay here, and I love it! Such charm and character. The pool and bar/restaurant are an awesome atmosphere! All around great spot!
Jill, 10-night trip

6/10 Good

Definitely a decent hotel. Great price for sure. Sadly, you do not want room 233. If they give it to you, move immediately. It is directly above the hotel’s speakeasy and bass will bump until 2a as you balcony is directly over it. If you don’t plan to sleep until after 2a then you’re good. If you like flat pillows this is your hotel. Closer to the canal than beach, but not far to walk anywhere. Great hand rolls and udon around the corner and fish market and coffee across the street.
James, 3-night trip

4/10 Fair

A hot tub was advertised but it was cold on arrival. The beds were small, old and extremely uncomfortable. Pillows were so thin and old. Trash was not removed from prior guest.
