Like others have said, this is a hostel alternative. How it’s not, is in the responsiveness by
Richard and his crew. They are on it and fast. They are kind. There is cleaning daily but it helps to be immaculate yourself. The AC was a lifesaver on this ground floor room. One feels safe. I did block window that wasn’t covered. It’s not a hotel, but if you’re on a budget and sleeping only, it is fine.
Nearby there are great businesses, grocery store( Safeway, Times). Honolulu Burger. You can buy a Holo card at the Times and then load to get around. Forget a car. The Number 2 bus is near and a lifeline.
