Like everyone has said, the area does have a few homeless setups almost right outside the front sore room the building and the building itself is extremely dirty and run down.
The room is on the third floor. It’s ok. Good size for 2 people but no more. The room, in my opinion was not very clean. There was sand in a lot of places, that if professionally cleaned, wouldn’t be there (closet, couch). Under the kitchen table and bed were pretty disgusting. We used some dishes and pulled out 3 plates that all still had food residue on there. The coffee maker is pretty much unusable, old, and very dirty looking in the pot and water reservoir itself. The stairwell the room is closest to, which we were first instructed to use, is extremely dark at night, with no lights and not safe to use, as we found out tumbling down the last few steps. It’s a HUGE liability for young kids, older folks, and even us, youngISH 30 year olds. In addition, the door to enter the building closest to said stairwell was not working, so we had to end up using the elevator on the opposite side of the building and then walk back to the end of the building to our condo.. which was a moderate inconvenience.
The place is just ok. You’re definitely paying for a good, central location and a free parking spot, which is hard to come by in Honolulu. The room was actually super quiet which I liked. Could use some black out curtains next to the bed as there are only sheer curtains there. Cooler and some beach stuff to use is a nice touch.
Would I stay again? Eh maybe.. maybe not.
