I don't know if I could recommend this place, unless you really need budget accommodation and don't mind emptying the AC bucket. For the price I wasn't expecting luxury but based on reviews I did expect a clean place in a comfortable room. The most annoying thing is having to constantly empty the AC bucket. I went during the summer not sure if that is any different to other times of the year but it seemed like I was having to empty it at least twice a day. This is not the place where you can go and just chill and relax, this is the kind of place you just go crash at night after having fun somewhere else, not so great for my first time in HI
Pros
-location- 2 blocks from the beach
- price.
Cons
Location- the unit is located in a worn out/ old looking building. When I arrived at night, I was concerned enough to call Richard with the intention of canceling.
Lack of communication: the day I arrived i called Richard 2 times and left a voicemail asking about canceling, in my 3 night stay never did he get back with me except to send me an automated email to remind me to vacate the unit.
- again lack of communication his emails indicated the check out at 11 am even though the actual check out time was 10 and after I point that out, he tells me he won't penalize for it???
-cleanliness: the bed was poorly done when I arrived, the bathroom is in great need of a good scrubbing and deep cleaning. I can't imagine anyone taking a bath in that tub.
-the AC bucket.. I was so shocked that anyone had anything like this. I had never seen that before, and what an annoying thing to have to worry about that while you are trying to vacation and relax.
In summary, I would not stay there if I went back to Waikiki.
