Dear White Sands. To be honest? Your bathroom smelt gross. We had to ask for air spray and buy a scented candle. The room had weird amenities like some weird hot water kettle that was missing pieces. No drinking water was available except for purchase.
The shower head was too low for me to take a shower and I’m 5’6”. It was hard to wash my hair and I’m in my early thirties and relatively limber. Smallest shower I’ve ever been in. My boyfriend is 6’4” and he literally had to ***squat**** to take a shower.
So overpriced and overcharged especially for kama'aina. For that price, I deserved a clean nice hotel with good amenities.
Looked nice in photos. Styled nicely… but clearly a dingy old converted three-story walk-up.
The art selection and room styling was cute — 1.) its saving grace and 2.) extremely deceptive in photos. Feels dirty and old in person even though the room is cute and clean. Guess I’m used to newer, cleaner, nicer hotels which are around the same price.
Thankfully, accommodates small dogs at the hotel. The lanai was nice and spacious as it’s a converted residential walk-up.
The hot tub wasn’t hot it was kinda warm… and was dirty (things were floating around in it…. I understand natural leaves fall in but doesn’t it have a filter or jets???)
Swings at the bar looked fun.
Food and water in fridge by front desk and being able to charge to room was convenient. Papaya was delicious.
I can’t believe I paid so much money to stay in this “hotel.” Should’ve stayed home. Pillows were too large and thick. Had to borrow a down pillow from a friend in Waikiki to sleep. This happens at other cheaper hotels too, so they are not alone. Why do hotels think bigger pillows are better? They may look better in photos but they are not the most comfortable.
Not worth the money. Kinda cute, cute in photos, but a rip off. I want my money back and don’t think I’d ever choose to stay there again, especially not for that price. Poor unaware tourists. Not a good deal for kama'aina or military, either.
