We really appreciated the welcoming staff & drinks on arrival after a delayed travel day. They really helped set the mood for a great stay. The location is close to ABC Stores & great restaurant options. This hotel provided real coffee mugs and glassware in our room…a small touch but very nice! We will be back! Aloha!

When checking in I found out this hotel is one of the last few family-owned hotels in honolulu! Rene at the front desk is delightful and so accommodating. Open air bar\lounge\coffee\pool area is where guests relax and chat. Loved the location. ABC superette less than a block away. Beach&marina 2 blocks away. Highly recommend. I booked thru expedia, maybe call directly for a better rate? Jan 2024

The staff at the hotel was so very helpful in recommendations for dining. Never steered us wrong. Kollett advised us on using the local bus system to travel to Pearl Harbor. We saved so much money over an Uber. The rooms were nice. Plenty of counter space in the room, not so much in the bathroom. The chairs at the table in the room were very uncomfortable. The lighting was too dim for me. We had to wait almost ten minutes to get hot water to either the sink or shower.

Property looked run down and old. Thin walls made it difficult to sleep. It’s located on a busy street so we can hear the traffic and delivery trucks all night. Staff was friendly. No microwave was a bummer. Would not stay again.

Amazing experience at this hotel. Lovely staff. Ben (the bartender) was super helpful and gave me so much advice as a first time Oahu visitor. I was about 1.5 hours early to the hotel, and Linda, the receptionist, was able to check me in and get me a room. Even met Mike, the owner, who was super friendly! Not a single complaint so far.

The property was nice and the staff very friendly, however you could hear everything from outside and they didn’t have an elevator when you first get to the property, just a long flight of stairs, my bags were to heavy to carry up so I had to put them in a storage area.
