First the cons: bathroom sink is not very good ergonomically, water backs up instantly in both sink and shower, there were a couple of gross boogers on the inside of the door to the hotel room, the coffee that is provided 24/7 is terrible and watered down, the above penthouse guests were smoking cigarettes constantly and their annoying smoke wafted down below to my room one floor down, and the linen was discolored and gross - a couple of areas having blood stains. Kuhio Ave is kind of seedy and dirty. And finally there is that constant, somewhat loud hum of the room air conditioner housed in cheap plastic, barely hanging to the window and a reminder that the building is a condo conversion which was built probably in the 70s and never a thought was given to high efficiency central air and which is now impossible to implement.

Now the pros: the design of the room was decent, including the desk, the shower also passed muster. Of course the rooms are small this being Waikiki but they get the job done without a lot of extraneous junk. Staff are nice and polite. Centrally located and fairly close to Waikiki beach.

The question becomes what is the value for this place? I would put it at medium to medium-high value. This is Waikiki and everything is insanely overpriced for what it is and where you are. If they would fix a couple of the above issues the place could be 5 stars. For example, the constant cigarette smoke should never happen quite frankly. And if the plumbing were fixed and a couple of attn to detail cleanliness issues were addressed then this would be a 5 star experience for the price point.
