This studio is in an older hotel where most of the units are owned by individuals. This studio was clean and more updated than the rest of the hotel, it was perfect for my needs of sleeping and showering. If you want to do more than that, there is the ability to do some light cooking or store leftovers. I saw some bad reviews about the bed, but I slept fine, it felt like a firm memory foam.
The hotel itself is definitely outdated and the halls smell funky. That being said, the unit is definitely cleaner so I just tried to ignore the halls. PARKING IS $30 CASH - unlimited come and go. The bar downstairs was very quiet, but the bartenders were great and friendly and it was easy to grab a slice and a draft later night or on the go. There is also a coffee/pastry place downstairs and a cute breakfast spot.
The location was great and easily walkable to downtown Waikiki and the beach. Also was really close to the convention center if you have anything there. Also right across from Waikiki Brewing.
The host was very quick to respond and kind. They gave me a late checkout which was a HUGE help for my later flight. Also, I was able to just lock my luggage in my car in the secure garage while I walked around for a few hours before I had to leave for the airport, which was very convenient.
If you’re looking for an affordable place for solo or couple traveling, this is easy and convenient! I just did a long weekend there and did not spend almost any time in the room, if you’re looking for somewhere that you can go back and relax at for a few hours, it may not be the perfect spot. But if you’re going for close beach access or plan on spending most of your time exploring then I definitely recommend!
