Reviewed by Frank F. of Lake Elsinore of CA 92530 on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jul-2007 We couldn't believe how close we were to the beach. X checked us in & she was nothing like previous reviews stated about the staff. She was extremely friendly and very helpful. We were amazed that from our room 2009 we could see the beautiful water & diamond head. If you're interested in chocolates on your pillows and a piano player in the lobby, then book somewhere else. Besides, who goes to Hawaii to sit in their hotel room? Great location, close to water, shops, aquarium, zoo, diamond head. Couldn't have asked for a better deal!!! |

| Pros: | Close to beach |

This is just a cheap hotel, you get what you pay for. |

Reviewed by Genevieve C. of Nashville of TN United States on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 The hotel is efficient. It smells kinda wierd, you are kind of pelted by the shower, and you are at the mercy of really slow elevators, but Waikiki beach is SO CLOSE! If you are more into experiencing Hawaii rather than hanging in your hotel, this is the place. The staff is nice if you are friendly first...not a good thing, but nothing to flip out about. So what if they talk crap about the customers? Im on vacation, and they are not.

Reviewed by Mi'schita' H. of IN United States on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 This hotel was a decent hotel and in a very nice location in Wakiki. Very close (walking distance) to the beach, zoo, aquarium, shopping, dining, markets, bus stop, etc. I was maybe 2-2.5 miles from Diamond Head (I walked back from there). I like that it offered a sink, microwave, & mini frig. I would stay again since I don't spend much time inside, a luxury hotel would be a waste for me. |

I was on my honeymoon with my wife and we couldn't stay there that long. The staff was rude and talked bad about the customers in Tagalog (my wife speaks that language) and they wouldn't help you unless you had to ask. The comforters had stains on them and the beds were really small. The locals say this is a hotel for hookers. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone unless you are a hooker.

Reviewed by chris f. of CA USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - May-2007 It was the worst, most disgusting hotel in hawaii. I was on my honeymoon with my wife and we couldn't stay there that long. The staff was rude and talked bad about the customers in Tagalog (my wife speaks that language) and they wouldn't help you unless you had to ask. The comforters had stains on them and the beds were really small. The locals say this is a hotel for hookers. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone unless you are a hooker. The floors were stained and dirty, (your feet get black in a matter of moments) and there were cockroaches in the hallways. STAY AWAY!!! |

The rooms are standard, but clean. But first and formost is the staff. All friendly...front desk, house keepers and maintenance (which did a small repair on the dripping turn off valve) and was there to fix it before I could hang up the phone. They all helped us find anything we were looking for. They all made you feel like you were visiting a friend, not like it was part of their job talk to you, making my stay more enjoyable. |

Reviewed by Genevieve C. of Nashville of TN United States on Jul-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 The hotel is efficient. It smells kinda wierd, you are kind of pelted by the shower, and you are at the mercy of really slow elevators, but Waikiki beach is SO CLOSE! If you are more into experiencing Hawaii rather than hanging in your hotel, this is the place. The staff is nice if you are friendly first...not a good thing, but nothing to flip out about. So what if they talk crap about the customers? Im on vacation, and they are not. The parking and amenities are kind of a rip off, but its comfertable for the most part...just bring your own blanket. |

Reviewed by Tom H. of IN USA on Nov-2006 Stayed at the Property - Nov-2006 The hotel is an older building, but I was told they are starting to remodel it and this time next year it will be very nice. The rooms are standard, but clean. But first and formost is the staff. All friendly...front desk, house keepers and maintenance (which did a small repair on the dripping turn off valve) and was there to fix it before I could hang up the phone. They all helped us find anything we were looking for. They all made you feel like you were visiting a friend, not like it was part of their job talk to you, making my stay more enjoyable. |

Reviewed by Tammy A. of of CA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - Jun-2007 This hotel is okay...looks like it is undergoing some construction. There is a bad sewer smell at times. Otherwise location is good. Room cleaning staff is good. Complaint is that the front desk staff seems unfriendly and incompetent. They laugh loudly at each other and completely ignore guests when they approach the counter. You have to talk to them first or they just stand there and stare. |

Reviewed by chris f. of CA USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - May-2007 It was the worst, most disgusting hotel in hawaii. I was on my honeymoon with my wife and we couldn't stay there that long. The staff was rude and talked bad about the customers in Tagalog (my wife speaks that language) and they wouldn't help you unless you had to ask. The comforters had stains on them and the beds were really small. The locals say this is a hotel for hookers. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone unless you are a hooker. The floors were stained and dirty, (your feet get black in a matter of moments) and there were cockroaches in the hallways. STAY AWAY!!! |

I paid a tiny bit more for the room level above the basic, and was surprised to have a nice ocean view! No lanai, but the view was a lot more than I expected. Parking is $!5/day and the garage is frightening! Very steep, and you have to call ahead for the code to park your car in the garage when you check in. Just a few blocks from the beach and felt safe to me. |

Reviewed by favian f. of ca usa on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 The room was nice and small. However, we found a decent size roach the first night we were there. The hotel has smoking and non-smoking rooms; Parking sucks everywhere in Waikiki, however, at the aqua, the staff hand out more parking passes than spaces: this creates a mess wth parking. One night I had to leave our rental on a very inclined slope, not safe at all. |

Reviewed by Lisa J. of Columbus of OH USA on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Mar-2007 For such a low rate, I was surprised to find my room very clean and with some recent remodels. I paid a tiny bit more for the room level above the basic, and was surprised to have a nice ocean view! No lanai, but the view was a lot more than I expected. Parking is $!5/day and the garage is frightening! Very steep, and you have to call ahead for the code to park your car in the garage when you check in. Just a few blocks from the beach and felt safe to me. |

The price allows us to stay longer in Hawai'i, and that is the point. |

Reviewed by Tom H. of IN USA on Nov-2006 Stayed at the Property - Nov-2006 The hotel is an older building, but I was told they are starting to remodel it and this time next year it will be very nice. The rooms are standard, but clean. But first and formost is the staff. All friendly...front desk, house keepers and maintenance (which did a small repair on the dripping turn off valve) and was there to fix it before I could hang up the phone. They all helped us find anything we were looking for. They all made you feel like you were visiting a friend, not like it was part of their job talk to you, making my stay more enjoyable. |

Reviewed by chris f. of CA USA on Jun-2007 Stayed at the Property - May-2007 It was the worst, most disgusting hotel in hawaii. I was on my honeymoon with my wife and we couldn't stay there that long. The staff was rude and talked bad about the customers in Tagalog (my wife speaks that language) and they wouldn't help you unless you had to ask. The comforters had stains on them and the beds were really small. The locals say this is a hotel for hookers. I would never recommend this hotel to anyone unless you are a hooker. The floors were stained and dirty, (your feet get black in a matter of moments) and there were cockroaches in the hallways. STAY AWAY!!! |

Speka at the front desk went out ofher way to help us with any questions we had. I saw nothing seedy about the area at all, the hotel is a half block from Waikiki Beach. Lots of shops, International Market is just 2 blocks away. Many food places to choose from. And sun and sand. |

Reviewed by Larry N. of Bothell of WA USA on May-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 Room was really small, but clean. Bare bones accomodations. If you want luxury, don't look here. Was fine for our needs. We were out and about most of the time. Parking is crazy and expensive, but hey, it's Honolulu... Staff was friendly but had some confusion on checking in. |

Reviewed by Alfred F. of Spokane of WA USA on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Apr-2007 This hotel has a great location and a very reasonable price. Especially since everything in Waikiki was way expensive. We stayed on an upper floor and the elavator was a little creaky but besides that I have no complaints. It was a little cheesy to charge $1 for coffee after the first in-room pack was used. Would come here again. |

Reviewed by Lisa J. of Columbus of OH USA on Apr-2007 Stayed at the Property - Mar-2007 For such a low rate, I was surprised to find my room very clean and with some recent remodels. I paid a tiny bit more for the room level above the basic, and was surprised to have a nice ocean view! No lanai, but the view was a lot more than I expected. Parking is $!5/day and the garage is frightening! Very steep, and you have to call ahead for the code to park your car in the garage when you check in. Just a few blocks from the beach and felt safe to me. |

Parking is $!5/day and the garage is frightening! Very steep, and you have to call ahead for the code to park your car in the garage when you check in. Just a few blocks from the beach and felt safe to me. |

Reviewed by Dennis K. of Illinois of Il USA on Mar-2007 Stayed at the Property - Mar-2007 Our 5th year in a row here, stay for 22 nights. Older hotel, standard rooms, not fancy but clean and well kept, never a problem. Renovations coming. Short walk to beach, all Waikiki. Staff is exceptional. The price allows us to stay longer in Hawai'i, and that is the point. |

Comfortable Sealy mattress and box spring... nice Turkish towels and extra pillows in closet. For the price, I can't think of a better deal. |

Reviewed by Natasha W. of on Dec-2006 Stayed at the Property - Nov-2006 If you want cheap, I think this is a good choice. 1 step up from a youth hostel: locking doors, private bath, clean enough, close to Waikiki. It's fine for what it is. I disagree with the other reviews: if you want cheap, don't expect it to be a fancy hotel. |

Reviewed by Tom H. of IN USA on Nov-2006 Stayed at the Property - Nov-2006 The hotel is an older building, but I was told they are starting to remodel it and this time next year it will be very nice. The rooms are standard, but clean. But first and formost is the staff. All friendly...front desk, house keepers and maintenance (which did a small repair on the dripping turn off valve) and was there to fix it before I could hang up the phone. They all helped us find anything we were looking for. They all made you feel like you were visiting a friend, not like it was part of their job talk to you, making my stay more enjoyable. |

Speka at the front desk went out ofher way to help us with any questions we had. I saw nothing seedy about the area at all, the hotel is a half block from Waikiki Beach. Lots of shops, International Market is just 2 blocks away. Many food places to choose from. And sun and sand. |

Lots of shops, International Market is just 2 blocks away. Many food places to choose from. And sun and sand. |
