Understandable
I understand that your are down staff, it would be nice to have the room cleaned and fresh towels. But the front desk staff was all very nice and conversational. It is a great value, we just basically slept there and showered and were gone all day. It was convenient to walk 10 minutes to the convention center.

"Room Check"
My experience was so-so. A very small shower. The room looked a bit tired, the carpet was old and stained. The cleanliness seemed fine on the surface until I accidentally dropped the TV remote under the bed. Had to fish it out with a hanger and it was nasty under the bed with items left behind by prior guests... dirty men's underwear and empty water bottles. That was a big turn off. The housekeeping would knock on the door every morning. One time I was changing and the housekeeper just walked in which was my bad for not latching the door. The next day, with the door latched, she knocked on the door, I didn't answer and she keeping knocking and finally she left. The following day, the same thing, but this time I opened the door, and she simply said, "Room Check". On my day of check-out, housekeeping knocked on my door 3 separate times. I requested a late check-out (1:00 pm) but I finally had enough and checked-out out at 12:30. It was too stressful. I won't stay there again because there are so many other hotel options, why bother.

Decent budget hotel
Perfectly good hotel, definitely a budget option for someone who wants to stay in Waikiki. Very good proximity to an ABC store, 7-eleven, bus stops, tour pickup spots, the beach, and Ala Moana Center. I got fresh towels and a made bed everyday. If you're the type of person who just uses a hotel as a crash pad, this is great. Paradoxically, the biggest negative is the fact it's on Ala Moana Boulevard. It is extremely loud up until about 10-11:00 p.m., and then every hour or so a big truck or loud motorcycle will drive by. Traffic picks up again around 5-6:00 a.m. A light sleeper should probably bring ear plugs or something. Also the bathroom fixtures are due for an upgrade. My sink and shower handle were all a little wobbly. Plus the shower head leaked when it was on. My room had a refrigerator but no microwave. Not a big deal for me, but somebody who likes to take leftovers will be at a loss. In conclusion, I would probably stay here again. It definitely meets my needs but some people would probably be very unhappy.
