There are definitely positives and negatives to this space. I give it about 2.5 stars / 5. How much you like this place depends on what you are looking for.
Pros:
1)Kurt is very quick to respond, very helpful, great host.
2) Good location in Waikiki Grand hotel, right in downtown area. Across from the beach! Great view from 10th floor...directly across the street from the honolulu zoo, very close to freeways, diamond head, and other popular destinations. Parking@ zoo is $1/hr in case you need a place to wait while waiting for checkin or a place to park after check out. 2) Kurt has a parking space you can request, this is great as parking in waikiki is difficult 3) parking space, elevator, and room are all located so conveniently close to each other which makes getting in and out of the building fast and easy. 4) Laundry facilities available, ABC store located directly to the right of hotel entrance, you can leave your bags up front until your check in time at 3pm 4) Kurt's room is all tile (i prefer this as i think it makes the room much cleaner)
CONS:
1) The place is clean, however it is no hilton! Its kind of old/dingy looking. Kind of reminds me of a hostel. The walls are old with discolored spots, the sheets and comforter on bed look old/worn...i recommend bringing your own sheets, I am glad I did because I would not be comfortable on what was there! Place is not insulated AT ALL from noise (this didn't bother me at all though as I am a very heavy sleeper). AC unit is located directly at the level of the bed so depending on what angle you sleep it might blow right on you. There is no sink to wash dishes...there is no kitchen here there is just a space for a mini fridge (which we did not use by the way because it had an awful smell), and a couple compartments where he has some dishes that we did not use. Bathroom also old/dingy, With shower curtain and cloth type shower mat which has been there for who knows how long. Looked dirty to me.
2) Extremely small room! Barley big enough for two...you might be able to manage 3, definitely NOT 4! not recommend for families or big groups.
We did not use the room much...left early in the morning and came home late at night.If staying for a long time and you need to be able to cook, this is not the place for you. If you are high maintenance, need to utilize the room a lot, or if a very nice/beautiful room is one of your needs, not the place for you. Good enough for basic needs, but I wouldn't say the nicest or most comfortable. Two guys probably would be okay in this room...if you don't require much and need a cheap place to stay, then I would recommend this place
