I've seen some bad reviews by folks since it's not a 5 star hotel, though it is surrounded by 5 star hotels. The walls had some chipped paint in places, the carpet was probably from the 70s. But the thing is - the rooms were very clean. The bed was big and very comfy. They had a nice shower and roomy bathroom, a new microwave, a fridge, a kitchen sink, and a range. It was a block walk to the beach and was at the very north end of Waikiki. High end stores, restaurants, and malls start right outside the front gate. The location is incredible, the room clean, and the bed comfy. If you are looking for more than that, then feel free to go next door and spend an extra $400 a night on a luxury room. We didn't want to spend our time in Hawaii hanging out in a hotel, so the room was perfect. This really is a hidden gem in an overpriced part of Honolulu.
