The purpose of reviewing a place is to help other travelers and in that spirit this is a simple fact based review.
Owen was very helpful in taking our bags early prior to checking in. The area is fantastic if you want to be near the main strip and Waikiki Beach.
The unit itself is quite dated. You have one large sliding door window which offers no privacy. It faces the street and a parking garage so if you want to be seen you will be.
That is the only window in the place except for a small window at the top of the bathroom wall which is stuccoed over cinder block.
The air conditioner is right by the bed we found that to be noisy and annoying.
The kitchen was lacking in that it did not have cutting knives. Beyond dated.
There is a pool but it is on the street level and no you cannot see it from your unusable street level balcony next to people and cars.
The Wi-Fi was spotty I kept getting kicked off.
Although listed as a one bedroom. It is a studio with a cheap wall. If you turn on the lights they project into the bedroom and main area.
Thus if one of you get up early, you can’t turn on the lights.
All in all it felt like we were staying in a bunker.
The outside of the building and complex itself impresses as a cheap motel.
The worst offense was the incessant construction noises- (beyond the parking garage outside your window). Which were loud.
It began at 6am and lasted till 4pm. Just a few hundred feet from your door.
This caused us to shorten our stay as we could no longer take it.
We did bring it up to Owen he said he has learned to drown out the noise.
We don’t think a vacation in Hawaii should include this.
