I stayed at the Plumeria for a bit over a week as I was waiting for my apartment in Honolulu to become available. I was not here on vacation. That being said, I feel that the Plumeria is a good stay for the right person. If you just need a place to sleep at night and will be out most of the day, then this place will serve your needs. I do not feel that it is particularly compatible for couples or families hoping to rest and lounge around in between activities in Hawaii. True to its name, the place has the feel of a hostel, and thus it depends on your coresidents to make or break your stay. I only had one other coresident so it was okay, but I can imagine it being quite the headache to share the common area between more people (there a up to five rooms in the apt). The room and facilities are pretty basic and, in particular the shower, was rather old and dingy. The room and it's furnishings were of a similar quality. Also be aware that you must bring your own toiletries as there will be none provided for you. The area is pretty convenient and is just down the street from the ala moana shopping center and ala moana park. Just a 10min ride into Waikiki. Unfortunately, there appear to be many homeless people hanging around the 7/11 across the street, which makes walking home at night a bit dicey. As for the management, my interactions were positive and they were accommodating of my requests. However, I personally think I would have preferred to pay a bit more and stay in a different place. All-in-all, this is a good place to stay for the single adventurous traveler planning on snorkeling/surfing/beaching all day but not those who plan on having a more private, luxurious stay (which I feel most people come to Hawaii to experience).
