when I usually plan out a vacation I don'tnormally splurge on a hotel and this was no different I mean it was fairly cheap compared to the other places. people complained about how out dated it is. I mean bruh you got this at an affordable price so don't expect the Hilton or Waldorf Astoria lol the balcony had the view of other surrounding hotels. But that didn't bother me none I mean who goes to Hawaii to watch the view from the balcony. this place was close to everything literally like a 3-4 minute walk from the beach not far from diamond head. you can't compare prices. for my first visit to Hawaii I love the room etc. but I think when I go back with family we'll get something else but if it's just you or a couple that's it's perfect on a budget this is definitely the spot for you. the only gripe I have was the guy with the corner office telling me to put my mask on when he himself wasn't wearing his. but said that I was in his office 😆 but he was polite about it. The host was very communicable
