    This is the second time we stayed. Affordable, clean, great pool, awesome bar, amazing staff, inviting, welcoming! Towels, boogie boards, chairs and umbrellas for free use. Great happy hour perks and deals. Our only spot to stay when in Honolulu!

    The pool was closed for most of our stay due to a chemical issue. The bathrooms were musty with no exhaust fans. This is a party hotel and not great for families.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Staff were really helpful. We came off the cruise that was affected by the hurricane and helped us settle in. Let us enjoy the hotel after check out, since our flight was a red eye. Just a very personable staff.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The location is excellent and very convenient for transportation

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The hotel has such a cute, tropical retro vibe and honestly felt like a little hidden oasis in the middle of Waikiki. We especially loved the pool area and the fun swing bar it was such a nice place to relax after a day of exploring. The staff were also friendly and welcoming throughout our stay. Our room was comfortable and having a balcony was a nice touch. The hotel isn’t a huge luxury resort, but for the location, atmosphere, and overall experience, we thought it was a great choice!

    The staff is so kind and helpful. The location is an easy walk to Waikiki Beach. The amenities are maintained. Its honestly the cutest and best cost effective option for travelers looking for a place to stay thats accessible to all the Waikiki hot spots. Highly recommend!

    Furniture, style and design Shower room could do a little more cleaning. And hallways

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The price was cheaper than most hotels in the area. The room was big and comfortable. Lovely pool area and lovely staff. There is a kitchenette but not utensils. It only had a sink, mini fridge, microwave and 2 paper cups. We had to buy paper plates, glad I brought my own cutlery. The shower was mouldy, the carpets never get vacuumed, had to ask for a hair ball to be removers and smudges on the mirror. The was only a hanging wardrobe, no drawers or shelves, I had to live out of my suitcase on the floor for the week. The hallway carpet is filthy, don’t walk around without shoes anywhere.

    We loved the pool, bar and restaurant! So good!!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Had a great stay! The staff were super welcoming and efficient, and the room was both comfortable and spotless. I’ll definitely be staying here again next time I'm in Waikiki."

    Valet is non existent they don’t have valet they send you over to the hotel down the street and they still charge 50$ a night for valet parking. No elevators so if you get put on one of the upper floors have fun packing all your bags up, there wasn’t anyone to take them up for you. Will not ever stay there again

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I wish I didn’t stay here but I was trying to save money. It still wasn’t worth it. Don’t stay here!! The walls were paper thin! I could hear everything and we heard people screaming and fighting all night at like 3-5 am. I couldn’t get any sleep. The pool was not working, water was green and closed for our entire 4 day trip and it was the main reason I booked this hotel. There was a cockroach in our room, and the bathroom stunk so bad like mold and mildew and there was mold everywhere. Our room also faced the apartments next door and they had cameras so we didn’t have any privacy being on the balcony. I was sad the whole time we were in the room. This hotel was not it.

    The pool was really nice. Great location

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I always love it here! Thank you.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    staff was great. The bar was cool. Excellent location. Pool looked a little dirty. Room isn’t that nice (but it is comfortable ) and no parking inside the hotel.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I liked the bar. The food and drinks from there were good. The pool was terrible, not clean at all. I swam in it and regretted it big time. I couldn’t really sleep due to noise from a nearby bar till 1.00 am that could be heard from the room.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Off the beaten track is this little gem of a hotel. A small three story Hotel, with a seven-tees vibe. Super relaxed and something completely different from the standard massive Waikiki resorts
