For the price, the place is great. A bunch of stores and the beach are within a two minute walk, couldn’t have asked for a more convenient location. Good kitchen, freezing A/C, nice balcony, fast WiFi, smart TV (binge-watched a new show on Netflix), and a comfortable queen bed.
The check-in process almost didn’t even exist because it was super fluid. Arrive, open the gate, enter the room, and done.
Access to the room was via a smartphone app, which was straightforward. My wife and I both had access on separate devices. I’m not sure what the process would be like if your phone died (or if you didn’t have a smartphone), so if that’s a concern to you, I’d ask Mark.
The place felt secure as well, since there’s an access controlled gate, and the room door and locks seemed sturdy. There were a few occasional shady characters passing by on the street at night, but that’s expected for a populated tourist location like this.
We were working remotely, and the space was a little cramped. It worked for a few days, but a bigger room might be more optimal for two people sharing a workspace.
The only other downside for me was the noise — there was a lot of wind (couldn’t take meeting calls outside because of this), frequent street noise, and neighboring rooms slamming doors. I slept fine, but light sleepers may want to reconsider.
Overall, we were happy with our stay and would consider it again if we return to Hawaii.
