Our family received great value for our money. The location was right on a main cross street that made entering and exiting Honolulu. The included parking spot was a bonus and worth the 3 min walk to cross the street to the parking structure. We saved hundreds of dollars by cooking 1-2 times a day in the kitchen. We walked several times to the beach (10 min). The corner 7/11 provided any thing we forgot or needed. The laundry room was a few steps away from our door and we used it many times ($3-6/use). You don’t need to bring shampoo/conditioner/soap or laundry and dishwashing detergent, sunscreen, bug repellent. There were little boogie boards, beach chairs, sand toys. A small patio to watch city life from and eat on (watch for aggressive birds!). The rooms were clean, beds comfortable, and no roaches - my big 3 requirements.
Advice: We were casual and laidback, not expecting a “Hilton” experience but looking for the most bang for our buck, this fit the bill for my family of four. Biggest issue was the smell of smoke when the ac was turned on. Fans and air filters were provided which helped. Mostly we didn’t use the ac often and used the fans. That cut the smell.
Also Loan notified me that the neighbors who were smoking were warned and fined and more, so hopefully that helps the next group after us.
Loan was very communicative, helpful and accommodating to our needs. The parking spot was right inside the structure closest to the exit/entrance to the street. Such a convenience where parking is a premium in Honolulu. Thanks again Loan! Mahalo!
