I found the hotel to be decent, especially for the price being one of the cheapest options with an oceanfront view. However, I had a slightly uncomfortable experience due to a nearby traumatic event. The bathtub could use safety rails, but overall, it was a pretty good stay in a great location, even though it felt a bit old.

The room was smaller than what I saw online, but it was decent enough. I noticed the bathtub lacked rails, which could be an issue for those with disabilities or elderly guests.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms are spacious and clean, but they really need an upgrade as they felt quite dated. The location is great, being just across from the beach, although the surrounding area had its challenges. The dining was decent, but I found the mocktails overpriced for what they offered. The staff was friendly and helpful throughout my stay, which I really appreciated.

I really enjoyed my stay at this hotel, thanks to its great location just across the road from the beach and the stunning views of the city. The rooms were spacious and clean, which I truly appreciated, but they did lack soundproofing, making it sometimes noisy.

The hotel has a great location, just a few steps from Waikiki beach and close to nightlife. However, the rooms are quite old and cleanliness could be improved; the partial ocean view is pretty misleading. While I enjoyed the friendliness of the staff, the dining experience left a lot to be desired due to poor presentation. Overall, it's a decent spot but could use some updates and better dining options.
