Good for what you pay
Keeping in mind that this hotel is a 5 minute walk from Waikiki beach, it’s a GOOD value. Especially with a little balcony, two twin beds and a refrigerator, microwave and small kitchen. The furniture is decades old and so is the plumbing, but at least it’s a clean place to stay. You pay for parking if you want it, and the parking stalls are smaaall.

Holiday Surf Hotel
Most of the staff were very kind and seemed almost thrilled to have me which was nice. It is cheaper than a lot of the hotels so I didn`t expect any frills. The only complaint I had was one day I forgot to tip and found they hadn`t left any towels for me. As they had never forgotten before, I felt this was a slight for not tipping. Other than that I was satisfied--again for the price. The price is right for what you get. If you want to get a pool and a cleaner more modern room you will pay more but will get better service etc.

Get an upper room
This hotel has a good location for the price and having a kitchen in the room was wonderful. We stayed in a room on a lower floor. The walls needed paint, the furniture was worn and dirty, the floor tile in the shower looked like it had been painted and peeled. The kitchen was minimally equipped. For example, there were no sharp knives for cutting, no lids for the pans, no sponge or dish soap, etc. We spent $100 buying essentials like paring and chopping knives, a cutting board, sponge, etc. Also, the hotel is on a busy street, so there were sirens in the evening and other traffic noise. However, I was able to view a top floor room that had been recently redone. The layout and furniture were identical, but everything was freshly painted, the view was better, and the kitchen much better equipped and included a microwave. For the price, location, and kitchen, we would stay there again, but would choose one of the slightly more expensive redone rooms - definitely worth it! I might also pack a suitcase with kitchen tools and condiments and pay the $30 RT airline fee to check the bag. It would be cheaper in the long run.
