Guest sentiment
- Cleanliness3.5
Repeated complaints about dirty carpets, sticky surfaces, filthy/soiled curtains, stains, a found cockroach and overall poor housekeeping; cleanliness is a major negative.
- Service8.5
Mixed reports: staff described as friendly in one review but there were several service failures (no reception at arrival, slow/unclear check-in, unresponsive to requests). Overall service had helpful moments but inconsistent.
- Location10.0
Consistently praised: excellent, very convenient for Waikiki and close to the beach and local activities; location is a clear strength.
- Room Quality5.0
Rooms described as dated, in need of upgrades and maintenance (broken/mismatched kitchenware, small or cramped rooms in some cases, noisy placement above a bar, AC not cooling well).
- Amenities9.0
Positives include a usable kitchenette, beach towels/umbrella/mat provided and some useful extras; however some in-room amenities were broken (microwave, coffee pot, ironing board).
- Value for Money5.5
Several reviewers felt the condition of the rooms did not justify the price (only slightly cheaper than alternatives while being in poor condition), so value is below average.
- Food and Beverage6.8
Not much F&B available or discussed; one specific issue was a broken coffee pot and difficulty getting a replacement, otherwise no strong positive F&B commentary.
- Overall Experience6.1
Overall mixed-to-negative experience: great location and some conveniences (kitchen, beach gear) offset by cleanliness and maintenance problems, check-in/service inconsistencies, and occasional pests/noise.
