Let's start with the positive: this location can't be beat for the price! You are literally a block away from Waikiki Beach, and for some, the convenience is probably worth the stay.
Upon arriving here, the process initially seemed smooth. We were able to snag a parking spot in the underground garage, we gathered our key, and the on-site host, Keoki, greeted us and let us know to contact him with any questions. We reached the room and...it's obviously not cleaned. The sheets are unmade, the two trash cans are full, and the floor is dirty. We sent messages to Chris/Keoki, and they responded quickly and apologetically. Keoki verbally told us he would refund a night's stay for us, and set us up in a new room (nicer, with mountain view!). Yay! Happy compromise...that is, until I tried to follow up on the refund and there is radio silence from everybody. Actions truly speak louder than words.
The building itself is dingy and run down. The A/C works beautifully at least. The wifi on our listing was incorrect, and we had to bother Keoki to come up and figure it out. One night when we came back later, there was no parking available in either of the towers. In the automated message, he says that you can park at the Pacific Monarch with the valid parking ticket bought at the Kuhio Tower. When we tried to text Chris to confirm, we never got a response. Upon talking to the Pacific Monarch, they said it was just for hotel guests.
At the end of the day, this is fine for bare bones accommodations, but be careful with taking the hosts at their word. It was definitely disappointing to be promised one thing then be ghosted the next.
