The reason we chose this listing was because it was the only one we could find that didn't charge ridiculous cleaning, admin, and occupancy fees. While the listing is right on Alii Drive, it's definitely not walking distance to the "main drag" where most of the restaurants and activities are. It's still a great location and an easy walk to a few small beaches tho.
Pros:
1. Budget-friendly. No hidden fees.
2. Right on Alii Drive, further down but close to some small beaches.
3. There is a smoking area onsite in the parking lot.
4. Easy access and parking is included.
5. super easy check-in, great communication, and very quick to respond to any issues.
6. Overall, we had a nice time.
Cons:
1. It's right on the street. Your "view" is of the road and it's kind of loud due to it being high-traffic.
2. Maintenence responds quickly, but I question the quality of their housekeeping team. When we arrived, the blinds were broken, there was a dirty rag in the drain of the sink and a light bulb was burnt out. They were very quick to respond but we had a maintenance person in our space for a few hours.
3. The room is kind of crusty and outdated. The carpeting is especially gross and needs to be replaced.
4. The bed is old and very uncomfortable. When we booked this, it said there was a pullout bed, which there was not. We had to buy an air mattress as a result which was an additional expense and hassle for us. There were a couple of discrepancies between what was advertised and what the actual accommodations were, this was one of them.
5. The ad also said that there were two parking spaces included in the reservation but there was only one vehicle registration permit when we arrived. We had to contact the office to get the second.
