“Plenty of space”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2012 NEW

It had everything we needed for our style of travel (backpackers, just stopping over in Hawaii and a little kitchen too and separate bedroom which was good. Plenty of space for 2 of us.

“You get what you pay for!”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2012
1
person found this review helpful

Well you're paying for a cheap hotel so you get a cheap hotel! It was okay for us as a young couple, had a convenient kitchenette. The windows are those weird slot windows so they don't block out the street noise at all but with the air conditioner on its a little less noisy. The staff was friendly it's a sweet little family owned place and you can tell they're at least trying to run it nice for cheap. The nearest abc is a little far (even though they are everywhere) and you have to walk down a sketchy side road to get to the main road where homeless people hang out and we were confronted by them and that's never a pleasant experience. If you're just being cheap and can stay somewhere else, stay somewhere else, but if you can't do the 150/night + places in Waikiki then it's truly not bad if you have to settle.

“What a piece of crap”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2012

Don't stay here. It's awful. We had already paid for the place using a prepaid service, but the moment we walked into our room, we knew the place was awful. Paper thin walls (felt like you were standing in a cardboard box), peeling walls, dirty, old, the beds looked ancient, and all that was missing were roaches (and maybe we would have seen some if we had stayed). The hotel refused to refund us (even though my wife is pregnant and the beds were just awful) any of our money, even though we had booked for five nights and didn't stay more than 10 minutes.

The advertising for this hotel is just not true, and the pictures are absolutely misleading. It should be closed down.

Room Tip: There are none.

“Near a nice beach”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 15 May 2012

The man at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful. This hotel isn't far from a beautiful beach. The bed was a bit uncomfortable for our taste so I am taking points off for that.

Bed bugs, dirty, falling apart!!! I wish you could put negative stars!!!!!! This place is terrible I wouldn't let my dog stay there. We stayed in the hotel thursday night, seemed less than what was pictured on pricelines web site. torn carpet and wood peeling off cabinet doors and sand in the bed when we got in. When we woke up all the kids and 2 adults had bumps on them we thought it was chickenpox rushed to the doctor! He said nope not chickenpox those are bed bug bites!!! The hotel would not give us a refund and has charged us for 5 nights of stay in the hotel even thou we only stayed one night! search holiday surf hotel or jaglimpse on youTube see the video of the inside the hotel rooms

Room Tip: Find different hotel!!!!!
