This hidden gem is in the heart of Waikīkī. Walking distance to great food and entertainment. The hot tub jets weren’t working but it was nice and hot! The pool swings at the bar are a fun treat. Staff is awesome.

Great staff, fantastic food and drinks. Also super conveniently located, in a heart of Waikiki, while very fairly priced. Definitely recommend for the price point, as we were pleasantly surprised! Just a few minutes away from the beach.

We stayed here back in March 2020 and now I am wondering if the hotel cleanliness was better because cleaning was heightened before the pandemic broke out. Or we were just happy with a bed and a shower after we were camping with our toddlers fora couple of days out in North Shore. While the facade right after checking was charming and gave a boutique retro feel, we realized soon after how poor the conditions of the room really were. The shower was dirty, the shower curtain smelled like a wet dog, there was hair and sticky stuff on the bathroom floor, the closet smelled really wet and musky. The carpet in the room was dark and gross and I had asked my family to wear their slippers in the room which I typically have a rule to leave it by the front door. The be economical they don't clean the room everyday- which is okay. But they give you these really hard crusty towels. We stayed in Laie for the first leg of the trip and honestly I could have gone without this part. Really disappointed and won't be back.
