Where do I begin? As far as location is concerned it’s in a great location. There is a store right at the corner on the block which is like a 2 minute walk once u finally make way down the elevator. Speaking of the elevators.... they are TERRIBLY slow and you can’t take the stairs past the 6th floor. Don’t ever be in a rush and u definitely shouldn’t order your Uber before u get outside Bc the elevator may take you an extra 15+ minutes before u even get outside. No exaggeration. Back to the stores for a minute this has nothing to do with the host but the stores that are on L next to the rental car booth the workers are extremely rude. Just walk the 2 minutes to 7 eleven. After the first day on my trip I refused to give either of the two businesses my money and just went elsewhere. The hallway on the 15th floor smells horrible. EVERY single time u are in the hallway. So it’s not like someone cooked something it’s like within the walls or the carpets I don’t know.
Now to the room itself which is probably why you are looking at reviews. I do like that there is a full refrigerator in the room and beach towels, towels etc. The bathroom isn’t the greatest. There is mold in multiple areas. The shower head is gross. The paint is peeling and falls into the tub and floor from the shower rod. What is the cleaning fee for that we were charged at booking? The tub itself is extremely slippery. We slipped multiple times throughout our 7 day stay. The beds are pretty comfortable. HOWEVER, one of the beds is right next to a extremely loud like obnoxiously loud air conditioner. Which is right next to the pillows sooooo I guess u are risking catching a cold on vacation? None of our nights of sleep were really restful because without the air conditioner it’s hot and muggy and smells and with the air conditioner it’s super loud so it keeps u up and you are laying right next to it so there’s no avoiding it. And u may be thinking open the window. There’s 1 window. The unit is on the 15th floor and there is no screen. No thanks.
Lastly but certainly not least the wifi is horrible. U are better off going to one of the starbucks and using their wifi. The connection constantly drops. I couldn’t even check my email from my laptop. I guess all in all you get what you pay for but to me we still spent a pretty penny and based on the room and what I took the time to list (I could type a few more paragraphs) I think it would have been better to pay the extra money to stay somewhere a little more enjoyable for your beach vacation. This was my first time visiting Hawaii (definitely not my last) and this room and the environment definitely put a bad taste in my mouth but I am glad my family and I had a safe place to sleep.
