My girlfriend and I stayed here over the weekend for a little staycation get away in Waikiki. Good overall cleanliness coupled with a nice host made our stay very pleasant 🙂
Pros:
- The kitchen was great. I cooked a steak dinner for us the first night and it had everything we needed
- Free parking was handy, especially considering how expensive parking in Waikiki can get
- Beach, restaurants, and bars nearby are all a short walking distance away (depending how far you wanna go) the international marketplace is approximately a 15-20 min walk away. Or you can Biki! There’s a biki station literally right outside of the hotel
- Great view from the outside balcony
- Bed was very comfy
Cons:
- Bedroom, bathroom, and living area are all interconnected. The doors are just sliding doors that don’t lock and don’t block out any noise, so privacy is pretty much nonexistent. This wasn’t an issue for my girlfriend and I because it was just the two of us but it may be a problem for larger parties - families, a group of friends, etc.
- We did find some hairs in the bathtub and bed that weren’t ours. It wasn’t a huge issue, but if you’re someone who’s squeamish about that kind of stuff, it’s just something to keep in mind.
- We could definitely hear all of the passing vehicles and loud noises coming from neighbors or the recreation area downstairs. Running the AC and turning on the TV did a good job of drowning out those noises though
Overall, the place was pretty clean and more than enough room for a 2 person party. The view of the ocean was phenomenal especially during sunset. Tongtong is a great host, very easy to get in touch with, and responded quickly to any questions we had.
