A basic room that was only fairly clean

The twin room: beds, a nightstand and wall lamps

The room had the twin beds, a small desk and one chair, and not much else. There is a balcony, but as far as we remember it had no chairs.

To be honest, the room was not especially clean, perhaps because the building is older. The bath is a combined tub and shower, and there is no bidet toilet.

One more thing: the bottle for filling up at the hotel's water dispenser had an odd smell.

A great view and the beach close by

We could see Diamond Head and the ocean from the room. The beach is very close, so it is easy to pop out for a swim.

A quiet pool, gym and lobby

The pool was quiet, with lots of chairs around it, including a few sofa-bed style loungers, so it was easy to relax. The hotel also has a restaurant.

The gym, with dumbbells and machines, which was empty whenever we went (a person in the mirror is blurred)

The gym was mostly empty too. There is a small ABC Store inside the hotel, handy for quick shopping.

The front desk staff were friendly and easy to talk to. There are no Japanese-speaking staff, so it is all in English, but we had no trouble.

What we liked

What we did not like

Who it suits

People who care more about being near the beach and relaxing by the pool than about a new room. If a bidet toilet or Japanese-speaking staff matter to you, see Japanese-friendly hotels.
