First things first, I want to say that this place is perfectly fine if you need a place to stay. It’s generally clean, although it does depend a bit on who else is there. There are definitely roaches, no matter how vigilant you are. They rarely got bigger than an inch though (I was there for a month and maybe saw 4 actually big ones). Laundry costs $1.50 per wash and per dry, and I never had an issue with the machines being in use. There is no hand soap or toilet paper in the bathrooms! Bring some with you! The host did bring me some after I wrote them but it took hours. If you do forget, the 7/11 down the road has some. The location is great! It’s very close to multiple bus stops and the university. It is also fairly quiet at night, and the WiFi usually works well. Fridge works great and has a freezer compartment. Overall, I had little qualm with the room itself. The reason for my lower rating is because of slow response times from the host, the roaches (I understand that roaches are inevitable in Hawai`i but turn on the hallway light at night and you’ll see my issue!), and general small issues with the host such as them removing my things before I checked out (technically the cleaning lady did it but there should have been better communication between her and the host), which they did return, and them trying to relocate me to a different room in the middle of my stay. They had given me a free upgrade, which I do appreciate, however it still didn’t feel like it was right for them to ask me to move (to make way for someone else they’d booked the room for) without letting me know before I agreed to the upgrade that that was a possibility. They did ultimately let me stay in the room.
TLDR; room’s alright but expensive, bathroom usually clean, host is ok, location is excellent, bring tp and expect roaches. Not sure if I’d rebook.
