I rented this "penthouse" for my 50th birthday vacation. The location is amazing. The view is awesome but, you can't see Diamond head point from the room though it is shared in the pictures for the room. The room is as pictured, but doesn't show how dingy the room, curtains and bathroom actually appear.
The accommodations leave a lot to be desired. The rental/building is dirty and rundown. The air conditioner drips all over the balcony and becomes slick and requires significant time cleaning it up.
The bed provides absolutely no support. It was like sleeping on a sponge.
The dresser drawers have no knobs even though that is really the only place to store your clothes. There is a small closet, but your clothes will be sharing that space with the brooms, swiffer mop vacuum, etc.
The toaster oven doesn't work at all. The clock on the microwave is wrong and couldn't be reset. The curtains don't block any light, making sleeping in a challenge if desired.
The bathroom wasn't clean, a lot of hair was found in the shower, and around the bathroom.
The toilet ran all day and night the entire time we were there. If you're a light sleeper, this will be and was an issue.
There is construction occurring a couple units down the hall that will continue until May 8th (as posted on the unit door). This was very noisy and isn't conducive to a relaxing vacation.
Don't be fooled by the penthouse label. It truly is the 44th floor; it doesn't warrant the Penthouse label.
We were woke up around 5am by people arguing somewhere in the bldg on their balcony. Security was altered by us and came to see if they could figure out who was arguing. By the time security came up the argument had concluded.
Hawaii is such a beautiful place that the beaches, water and the shopping provided opportunities to be out of the room, which is how we spent large amounts of time.
I had high expectations but this room needs an overhaul or at least a deep cleaning and updating.
