I was pleasantly surprised by the experience. The staff was first-rate in all respects. A little noisy with racing street traffic but that didn't keep me from sleeping. Easy access to meetings at the Hilton Village.

OMG what a cute gem of a place and the staff is amazing and super welcoming. Super convenient and great price. The room was adorable with the bamboo bed. Great place to stay if you are not looking for an ocean view but looking for a place that is great and clean while enjoying Waikiki.

This is a hotel which is conveniently located near Ala Moana Park and has everything that you need nearby. The stuff is very friendly and the best thing about it is that you have a wonderful bar at the ground floor so you don't have to go out to get a drink

Very cute themed hotel. Staff was super nice and friendly, room was clean and the Lanai was a great feature. Plenty of charm that you just don't get with larger chain hotels. Locally owned makes it even more appealing. Support local businesses and stay here. You won't be disappointed.

The property was wonderful and was in a great spot near the Hawaii Convention Center, as well as not being too far away from the heart of Waikiki. That being said, you can tell the place is in need of some renovations, like the elevator. That being said, I cannot recommend this place enough, the staff were super helpful and kind and make me feel welcome! The other benefits, such as the free WiFi and drink at the in-house cafe/bar was a nice bonus as well. I would definitely stay here again to support this locally owned hotel!

I absolutely loved it. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. All of the staff was incredible helpful and friendly. The bar was perfect. Not wild but a great place to enjoy a drink and chat it up with the other guest and locals. It was wonderful. I’d definitely go back again.
