Housekeeping did a fabulous job keeping the common areas clean and the place is well maintained. Its not luxurious but it will do its job of giving you an affordable place to stay in downtown Honolulu. I felt it was well situated for walking or catching The Bus. No view of the ocean and the closest beach is 3 miles away. I chose to walk everwhere and felt decently safe. There are a number of grocery stores, including Walmart, within a mile radius.
