Creator's Key Takeaways

I would not stay here again specifically because of those cleanliness issues and just the sort of chaos of the space.

It's probably the number one reason I simply can't recommend the hotel.

This was fine for the purposes we needed it. We stayed at this hotel because we needed a quick stay to get on the cruise ship Pride of America from NCL.

I hope this was helpful in your determination and when whenever and wherever you go to Hawaii, I hope you have an amazing time.

Creator's Tips & Advice

βœ“Consider a quieter, cleaner, and more relaxed hotel in Waikiki.
βœ“If you need an inexpensive option close to the beach and shopping, this hotel checks many boxes, but be aware of cleanliness issues.
