Check in was super easy. Staff was insanely kind and attentive. You essentially get hotel perks for Airbnb price. Pool was nice. We night swam a lot and it was all lit up and cute. Having laundry access was a huge plus. Excellent location! Can walk/Uber or drive anywhere. Parking was like $30 a night I believe, if you do have a car. They followed all COVID precautions/Hawaii rules.
The room itself- it was average cleanliness, nothing wrong with it, but the white carpet was very dirty and honestly made the room feel grosser than it was. I do agree with what a lot of people said about it being a bit outdated decor wise, but not a deal breaker.
Had everything we needed. Extra towels. Beach chairs. Cooler. Beach towels. Plenty of plates/napkins/ utensils. Soap provided. Fridge worked well. TV did not work!! Shower had nice pressure and lots of warm water. I’d say if you are a naturally warm person, you won’t be happy with the air conditioning. I was fine and we spent most of the day outside of the room when it was warmest. Outlets worked. THE BALCONY WAS A HUGE PLUS. Gorgeous view of the city.
Not much to say about host- she made sure room was ready for us, but we didn’t hear from her otherwise. I did message once asking about check out. I didn’t realize it was already so late in the listing, but a response would’ve been kind!
Overall, I’d say this place is a great value and I do recommend staying!
