It’s a good budget-ish* hotel a five minute walk from Waikiki.

The decor is a little dated, but satisfactory.

Rooms, ours at least came with a mini kitchen, which helps save money for families.

We did notice a few cockroaches, however I’ve found most tropical budget places have them or similar. Hard to get rid of in that climate. Didn’t bother me.

For a hotel not on the beach the location is wonderful with tons of near by restaurants.

* I’ve found Hawaii accommodations to be very expensive now. Double from just a few years ago. And I hate those stupid resort fees. Ours was $41US a night.

The staff was helpful and friendly, the room was clean, and the location was just what I needed (within walking distance for everything).  However, everything in the room was outdated (by about 30-40 years) and not functioning properly.  Every metal surface was rusted (which I understand with the salt air, but small enough to be addressed in the rooms). The sliding door to the balcony wouldn't slide and I almost got stuck outside a couple times (so I ended up leaving it open once I got outside).  The shower pressure was almost non-existent and kept drastically changing from very hot to ice cold while showering.  They did say they were having plumbing issues while I was there and had to have the water shut off for two hours to make repairs, but the repairs did not fix the pressure or the drastic temperature changes.  Also, there's a $35/night service fee, even if you don't have your room serviced.  So, when you think you're paying $358 +tax for a room, you actually end up paying over $727.  Just a heads up.  I know it was one of the cheaper hotels in the area, but my sister stayed down the block for only $80 more for her stay and their hotel actually had coffee and breakfast for their guests.  I fell like for what I paid, there could have been more amenities and been a nicer room.

This place is a great bang for the buck. Location is pretty handy just about right in the middle of town. I complained about the shower head and there was a new one when I got back at the end of the day. I was also able to get a bunch of rapid rewards points for my southwest account! This made my flight cheaper overall. I'll keep this place on my list for the future.

This hotel is definitely not fancy or anything extra. It is everything we needed and fit the budget. The room was small but cozy, they offered a mini fridge, coffee maker and coffee (as requested). When we arrived our shower head was terrible (no pressure) but when we asked if they would look at it, they did so immediately, and installed a brand new shower head (problem solved). The service was great and employees were very nice.

I didn't really get any clear explanation as to why they charge $35/day on top of the amount paid for booking. Seems like the low price advertised was a bait so tourist will book then ones committed they drop the extra charge on check-in, otherwise no one will book. Think about it guys will you choose this old hotel over 4 stars for the same price? Ofcourse not!
My advice... DON'T GET HOOKED on their lower price ads, IT'S NOT WORTH IT in the end.
