They are always clean I have never seen any bugs which is usually a problem in tropical climate areas. They are a really good at providing a relaxing vacation away from the congestion and tourist traps in Honolulu. You can go to the tourist area but you have a place to retreat when the day is over. Also if you are there at the right time watching a full moon rise over the ocean is mesmerizing. Only draw back is you have to drive to other side of island for sunsets. But sunrises are breathtaking.

But the more time I spent here, this house grew on me. I was lucky to have the Davies room on the third floor (note that there are no elevators, and there are no plans to add ADA access because the house is on the National Registry of Historic Places). Awesome view of Waikīkī at sunrise and golden hour. Being 6'1" the bathroom can be awkward with its placement under a steep-sloped gable, requiring me to stand a little closer to the shower head and sink. The house has that smell like grandma's house, but it's expected with any wooden building this old. Top-notch antiques decorate every corner in a tasteful way. The saltwater pool is an added comfort, and the breakfasts made to order by Tomomi and her daughter is plain ol' good homecooking. Owner Scott Glen put a lot of money, time, and sweat into making this place wonderful. The five ducks, cat, and miniature pinscher are fun housemates!

Took a time out from life and escaped to the historic Manoa Valley Inn ( also known as the John…read moreGuild House) . I immediately jumped in the outdoor saltwater pool. It was private and cooling. I was lucky to have the inn pretty much to myself. I was afraid that it would be haunted but I felt a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. I took the John Guild Suite. I felt sad to learn John Guild had embezzled money from the Dillingham company to build this house. He was caught and had to turn the home over to the Dillinghams -- had a quiet evening after having an Italian dinner at a nearby restaurant. Was very quiet and I slept very well. The family that took over the inn was very pleasant and created a terrific breakfast in the morning. I will be returning when I can. You would need to climb stairs if u want the John Guild or Dillingham suites. I did see a clown loach in the aquarium. Haven't seen one in ages and remembered that in the wild they can grow very large. Checking out was done smoothly and felt refreshed to begin the work week again

The pool also isn't really a place you'd want to spend much time hanging out, I think some improvements with the pool could go a long way. That being said, the location was perfect. I traveled solo and found it to be a convenient, central place to stay, especially if you're mainly looking for somewhere comfortable to sleep while being close to everything. The front desk staff were definitely the highlight of my stay. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and informative, and they really made the experience better. Jesse especially stood out and went above and beyond to make my stay more enjoyable. Overall, I'd recommend this place if location and convenience are your priorities!

Have you seen the movie "The Beach" with Leonardo DiCaprio? Remember that nasty, dirty motel he was…read moreat where he met the guy Mr. Duck? This place felt like how that place looked in the movie. Smells of cat urine smack you in the face the moment you open that room door. The floors feel dirty and nasty. The air is thick and smells like mildew and cat piss. You instantly regret believing those online profile pics. You realize you've been catfished. The valet person is unfriendly and you first think, "hmm. Maybe just a bad day." You go to check-in and that's a breeze. You walk towards the elevator and look back and see the receptionist who checked you in is looking at you. Later, you realize he's wondering how long you'll last. You go into the dated and dirty-floored elevator that took too long to get to you. It takes you up to the fourth floor where you enter into the lair of doom. A flimsy lock opens at your keycard and in you go. Peeling wallpaper, dirty doors, lifting floor tiles, stained windows. You feel like this is a mistake. Your family is too afraid to get into bed. They keep their outside clothes on to protect them from bedbugs. You go downstairs to ask to be moved to another room. The night worked, Yuta or Yura greets you with kindness. He apologizes and says that they're all booked up and no rooms are available. You ask him to check if someone might be leaving tomorrow so you can get an idea if there's somewhere to move to tomorrow. He apologizes and says that he can't share that info. You're confused. Why can't he check the computer and see who is leaving tomorrow that might open up some availability for you? You ask to clarify. "So, can you give me some kind of guess or estimate to see who might be leaving tomorrow? Or some kind of idea if the answer will be yes or no if we can change rooms?" He then begins to repeat himself three or four times while blinking profusely. "I'm so sorry I can't help you. I'm so sorry I can't, I'm so sorry I can't help you." Panic hits you as you've seen 20/20 and First 48 and this type of outburst looks familiar. You apologize and slowly back away. Now you have to find a new hotel because what the heck was that? You try to get some rest after a long flight and strange encounters. But you can't. There's yelling, hooting, hollering, and a loud and obnoxious bass thumping in the distance. All. Night. Long. Finally at 3 a.m. you look outside and see, there's a club outside and the patrons have now gathered in the street just below your balcony across the street. It doesn't matter that the windows and doors are all closed, these sliding doors are from the 80s and they're paper thin. Finally, morning arrives and you get up to watch the sunrise. That's nice. After you head back, you go to check out their "continental breakfast". It's just an awful joke that won't stop giving. After everyone in your family is awake and your bags are packed, you go to leave. Before leaving, you stop and talk with the receptionist, Yama, Yana, or Yara. She says she'll refund the resort fee since there is no true resort. She's heard these same complaints before and did not seem shocked at my reporting at all. This place is ideal for someone on a budget, traveling without kids, and who doesn't mind a little dirt under their fingernails. I get home a week later and find that the resort fee was not refunded, and I have to call them back again. After all fees and taxes, a one-night stay in Leonardo DiCaprio's nightmare motel was about $548 USD. Wow. What a tale.

Upon arrival, we were greeted by Misty and given a walk through of the beautiful and newly renovated unit. Misty then offered advice to help us plan our trip, and gave us recommendations for local eateries and hikes. For breakfast, we found a healthy selection of fruit, juice, pastries, yogurt, and bottled water waiting for us in the refrigerator. There were also many kinds of k-cup coffees and teas for us to choose from. The towels were fluffy, the bedding was comfortable, and the toiletries were quality organic products. We loved walking to the quiet Kailua beach and to the shopping plaza across the street for delicious poke bowls. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and won't hesitate to recommend this B&B to friends and family.

First off, this is more a vacation rental. This was our first trip out to Hawaii and we were…read morelooking for something on the Windward side of Oahu. I found this place while searching for bed and breakfast establishments. **Note to readers** Make sure to check for only registered lodgings, Hawaii is having issues with unregistered establishments. Checking for availability was a simple e-mail inquiry, though I could have called as well. Response was prompt and concise. Reserved room through e-mail and called to give them the credit card info. There are two units, both sectioned off from the house with private bathrooms, one with more space and a kitchen. We chose the smaller unit which was cheaper, only $75 a night for the end of January. The place is two blocks from the beach and there are two beach access points nearby. I was nervous, given the low price and my unfamiliarity with Kailua. All my fears were gone the minute I saw the place. A large bed, a private bathroom, a mini-fridge, microwave and toaster oven. Even a television with cable and room for our stuff. While not top of the line, the room was everything I expected. Barbara and her husband were gracious hosts. We had immediate answers to any questions and a nice patio with a pool at our disposal. Bottom line: if you want a nice, simple starting point for your daily excursions, check into Auntie Barbara's now. For the price and amenities offered it can't be beat. It missed four stars for only one reason: parking. The house is set back from the road down a narrow driveway flanked by a concrete wall and a fence. Parking next to the house and getting back out is a nightmare. Thankfully we were able to utilize street parking and walked down the driveway to our unit after the first day.

Polynesian Residences Hotel - Waikiki…read more This was, without question, the worst hotel stay I've ever experienced. I stayed at the Polynesian Residences Hotel in Waikiki from July 22-27, 2026. On my first night in Room 505, I woke up to find bugs--specifically roaches. The refrigerator was also dirty and unsanitary. After reporting the issues, I was moved to Room 305 the following day. Unfortunately, Room 305 was noticeably smaller than the room I had originally paid for. After returning from a wonderful day exploring Hawaii, I took a shower and discovered water covering the entire bathroom floor because the shower door would not close properly and the bottom seal was damaged. That same evening, around 8:40 p.m., I was moved again, this time to Room 513. Since it was late, I didn't have an opportunity to thoroughly inspect the room until the next morning. What I found was unacceptable. The room had not been vacuumed, there were dead moths on the floor, the bed skirt was stained and dirty, the shower was deteriorating, and there was mold around the bathroom sink. On Sunday afternoon, around 1:00 p.m., while I was taking a nap, housekeeping entered my room unexpectedly. I had been unable to place the "Do Not Disturb" sign on the outside of the door because it was stuck in the metal door fixture. What concerned me even more was that I could not lock the door from the inside, which made me feel unsafe. I expected someone to come and repair the lock after I reported it, but no one ever did. Throughout my stay, I took photographs and videos documenting the roaches, the dirty conditions, the maintenance issues, and the safety concerns. I showed everything to both the front desk staff and the hotel manager. Despite having clear evidence of the problems, nothing was done to resolve the issues other than repeatedly moving me from one room to another. None of the rooms met the standard I expected for what I paid. My visit to Hawaii was absolutely amazing, and I truly enjoyed the islands. However, my experience at this hotel was extremely disappointing. Between the cleanliness issues, multiple room changes, maintenance problems, and the lack of security, I cannot recommend staying here. If you're planning a trip to Waikiki, I strongly suggest choosing a different hotel. My vacation was memorable for all the right reasons--except for my stay at the Polynesian Residences Hotel.
