This is by far the cheapest way to experience Oahu. It used to be a community college, so you live in a dorm room. Community bathrooms and kitchen with pots and pans available for cooking. There are many refrigerators in the kitchen but you also get your own mini-fridge. It's a great place to possibly meet other travelers if you hang around the public areas. Ken and the staff are accomodating and courteous. Jay the on-site maintenance man is awesome. There is a lot of noise across the street from heavy machinery that starts early in the morning, so bring earplugs. There are 2 gas stations on the corner of the street. (Go to Shell, because the Texaco one has a $10 minimum on card purchases and doesn't have many options). Chinatown is within walking distance. They have a good variety of local restaurants, as well as a lot of harmless homeless people lurking the streets. Waikiki beach is about a 30-minute bike ride from this location, (or $15-$20 uber), which can get expensive. I suggest downloading the Biki bike app and using the bike system. If you have a rental car, parking on location costs extra. I would definitely stay here again!
