This hotel is a great deal, the staff is very friendly and accommodating. It is clean and basic and just what we needed for a couple of nights on a trip to Hawaii. Spending so much time outside in Honolulu, all you need a hotel room for is sleep and shower, anyhow!

The lobby is filled with caracter and history, old pics and surf boards plus a nice music show every week by the owner and friends.

This hotel is an excellent value -- it is literally a five minute walk to the beach! The rooms are cute and very functional. There is a kitchenette with dining supplies and a fridge, which is perfect for storing leftovers and fruit. The lobby staff were very helpful, and the pool was clean and refreshing. There were also many things... More

This is an older budget property in an excellent location. We stayed on the fifth floor in a reasonably decent room with a view to the beach. The AC was weak, but functional. The decor was dated and worn. But for this price - it was worth it! The staff is friendly and helpful. The atmosphere is more "old Hawaiian."... More

Hotel is a budget property in a high price area, and guests understand that. The manager, Tim Fong, however, has plumbed new depths of cheapness in a misguided effort to make a bit more profit from guests. Gone is the coffee that has been available every morning for years, and which was mentioned favourably in previous reviews. This economy probably... More

Have stayed here a couple of times and enjoy it each time! A nice short walk to the beach. Free wi-fi in the lobby, and friendly people who work there. We were here when the tsunami alert was on in October and felt very secure knowing we were in good hands. Monday night lobby jam is a wonderful way to... More

From our first contact by email, the staff were very friendly & welcoming, and they remained so throughout our stay. I made a mistake in my booking (had the... More

The street noise was horrible, really loud, night and day. There was no way to stop the sound of buses, trucks, cars, sirens. I couldn't understand why the street noise from Uluniu Ave and Kuhio Street were bouncing through the room on both sides. The room itself was tiny but clean and ok for the price. It had no lanai...
