Chin was very communicative. However, we were quite unhappy with the room as it did not seem to be cleaned when we arrived. There were mold on the curtains and air conditioner. Mildew in the bathroom. Stained dirty sofa and unclean bed sheets that made us itchy. We ended up buying new bed sheets. The towels had some stains on them and seemed unwashed. The table tops and room overall were dusty which made me felt sick when staying in the room for too long due to my allergies. I already informed Chin of my allergies and was reassured that the room will be well ventilated and expected it to be clean as shown in the airbnb post prior to checking in. The utensils were rusty and the cups were dirty on a rusty rack. The coffee machine had coffee stains likely from a previous renter. Some of the power outlets were loose so the bed lamps would easily flicker and turn off. Overall the room wasn't as displayed as the post. It was much dirtier, made us feel uncomfortable and made me feel sick. To remedy this, we had to buy new bed sheets, dusted and cleaned the room ourselves (host offered to send the maid but we already cleaned what we can upon arrival).
Main discrepancies seen in the photos and upon checking in:
- sofa is stained and extremely dirty (don't sit on the right side of the sofa because I sat there for 15 minutes and ended up with a few bug bites)
- bed sinks in
- green carpet replaced with hardwood floors
- place was overall more dirty and furniture were pretty old
The location was close to the mall, restaurants and beach. If you are just staying in Waikiki, you don't need a car. Since this place is located at the heart of Waikiki, parking was a nightmare. The hotel does offer daily parking to the guests for $22/day. We just circled around and found parking on Ala Wai.
Would I stay here again? Definitely not.
