Located in location with no nearby restaurants. Closest was a 15 minute walk. No umbrellas available to rent for beach, though chairs and towels were provided. Crack in sink should be repaired. Entry to room with keycard extremely difficult.

Staff was super friendly and the location was good as it was a bit further away from the busy Waikiki center. What I didn’t like was the resort fee which enabled you to receive certain things like beach bikes and chairs but of which I was never informed of. I was just told that there would be a fee which sounded like a standard fee to me. They charge this fee per day regardless of usage.

The people working at the hotel were very friendly and available. They answered our questions and were available to loan us beach chairs, towels, good restaruants, and advice. The hotel was convenient for beaches, and places to eat. We were able to walk to both. The hotel gave us two free small gifts of snacks.

Thomas Cory, San Carlos

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We were very disappointed. When checking in we were actually downgraded from the king bed room that had been arranged to a room with two double beds. The next day we were moved to a king bed room but were required to check out by noon and not allowed to check back in until 4;00 PM, so we did not have a room the afternoon of the second day even though we had paid for a six night continuous stay, very disruptive to our plans. The staff was quite unsympathetic. When we checked out we wished to discuss our disappointment with a manager who was not available and we never received a call or email from management despite a promise from front desk staff that "Brandon" would contact us. The so called VIP upgrade was a bottle of wine and two glasses of juice. The hotel is old and worn out. The room smelled like mold. Very few dining options in the area. Restaurant at the hotel is expensive and only open for dinner. We recommend avoiding this tired, smelly, rude hotel.
