Room was perfect for solo travelers. Location couldn’t be better within walking distance to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Other than not having hot water in the shower for one day I would definitely stay there again.

Immaculate! Small with limited space for clothing, so best for shorter stays. Shares lobby with Hula’s. With the AC on, noise is not an issue.

Perfect location and price

We’ve stayed here before and will be back again. Location is perfect. So close to the beach and restaurants. The bar can be loud at night but it doesn’t bother us. Room is small but clean and it’s exactly as shown in pictures. Hotel front desk is very nice as well.

Great location

This propery was so close to the beach, it was easy to get to and from the beach front. It is on the same floor as Hulas so expect a little noise at night due to shared hall. I would stay again, as the location was excellent.

I loved the location of the property. Very close to the beach. I also enjoyed Hula's Bar which is located just down the hall (Great food and drink). The unit is very well laid out and had everything I needed. The bed was exceptionally comfortable. I plan to replace my bed at home, with the same brand, after sleeping on this bed. The bar noise was non-existent, except for at closing time, but that noice passes quickly. I will definitely rent here again!!

This hotel is what it is - great value for money with the price reflecting the facilities and the downsides. Yes, it is affected by bar noise and it is small - but it is convenient, cheap and has all the basics. Reception is helpful when needed.

Noisy but nice

Room is 20 feet from Lulu's bar which was quite noisy, and we did not know about it. Upside was we went to sleep with noise, so we it did not wake us.

It was a perfect size for just the two of us. My only complaint is there was a section of window next to the air conditioner without any blind or other covering so people could see into our room. We had to block it with various items we could find.

Excellent location

Absolutely great location! The room was small but very clean and had great access to everything. The air conditioning kept the room nice a cool. So close to the beach, restaurants and shops and right next to the zoo. The only downside is there is a bar/restaurant on the same level so it can be a little loud at night. It didn’t bother us at all but some it may. Would definitely stay again. We spent all of our time outside and had a nice clean place to shower and turn in at night so it was perfect for us. The front desk staff is really friendly and the upstairs balcony has a beautiful view on the roof.

It was good for just dropping my kid off to college we weren’t in room much. But no one told me you had to reserve parking and pay for it so I fed meter at zoo parking lot since parking was full. But room was fine for our needs.

Corner retreat.

The overall experience was amazing. Location and approximation to the beach and park is amazing not to mention to other conveniences and attractions. The second floor location is also a real treat to easy access to Hula's but also accessibility to the lobby and parking. The accommodations in the room were 5 star if you ask me. Cleanliness of the room was just another added bonus. The bed was nice and cozy and the overall feel of the room felt like an absolute hideaway. Definitely will stay again. The amenities in the bathroom was definitely thoughtful and well kept. Having beach towels, boogie boards and other beach necessities is definitely amazing. Thank you for this corner retreat. Loved our stay.

Room 217 is located on the second floor next to Hula’s Bar. Noise from mid evening to 2:00 AM. Also, garbage is collected every morning between 3:00 and 4:00 AM out side your bedroom window on the second floor, FYI.

Extremely noisy

The apartment is dusty and not well cleaned. The bed is like a hammock. No window to open and the AC smells. At night you hear all the delivery trucks for the hotel which is as well in the building. Next to the apartment is a bar. We didn’t get a lot of sleep.

The only thing I liked about this hotel was the location. The hotel was located a walkable distance from the beach and shopping centers. What I did not like about the hotel was that it was unsanitary, we found roaches in our room. Second, we had to deal with the nuisance from the bar across our hotel room. For the nights that we stayed in, we had to hear the disruption of bar goers all night long in the hallway. The fact that the hotel does not have enforced regulations for this, speaks about their management.

Ask questions

The suite is exactly as pictured. And location is central to beach and eatery. The hotel bar is outside the suite literally. So you can hear loud conversations from traffic to bar. Ear plugs or headphones for at night. Make sure the bathroom window is not left open no screen and bugs can come in easily. The lighting in the hall entering the suite is very dim. Ask questions before reserving wasn't for me but maybe for you.

Amazing stay!

This was the perfect little place for me and my partner. The staff was amazing, we had access to the parking garage, and our room was nice and clean!! Only downside is that it is across the hall from a bar which could get pretty rowdy in the hallways at night- we were so tired each day it didn’t bother us too bad! It’s definitely very tiny! The bed is a double/full sized bed so if you stay with another person- hope you like cuddling! It is perfect if you aren’t planning to spend a lot of time in the room! We parked in the parking garage which was nice because I was stressed to leave a rental outside/on the street. The garage was nice and easy to access. Literally 2 min walk from beach. Great location with restaurants, shopping, drinks and beach so close. I do wish their was a dustpan to sweep up sand, but we just used the little mop to “sweep”. Overall, great stay, would stay again!

Hawaii was amazing

Our overall stay was wonderful. The host was fantastic and easy to connect with! The room was clean, to door access always worked! The beach is a 2 minute walk away (so easy!). The room had snorkel gear / boogie boards for use. However - the room is smaller that appears in pictures. This room is 100% for 1-2 people only! The bathroom / shower are smaller so would be difficult for a bigger person navigate through. The pool is on the backside of the hotel, it’s okay. You bring back sand from the beach (no matter how hard you try not to!) but a broom and dust pan would have been nice. I used the swiffer to “sweep” the floor. This room is on the 2nd floor and so is the bar (I believe it mentioned that in the description) - but it’s very close to the bar and people can be loud. Hawaii was amazing - I’d work with Mark again in a second - I’d stay in the same hotel, just not this room.
