Richards place is a simple, but clean place to stay when your visiting Hawaii on a budget. I was there to purchase a car and had previously stayed in a youth hostel many years ago and enjoyed the experience, so it was exactly what I wanted to feel the vibe of the community environment. One great aspect of the place is Safeway is right across the street, as well as many restaurants within walking distance. I also walked to Waikiki from the room and it was a decent walk, but nothing too bad if you are in decent shape. If you want the Fours Seasons, this is not the place for you. But if you want a clean, convenient, chill place to stay, Richards should suit your needs.
