Hawaii Kai Vacations from ￥192,679

Liked the location and the helpful staff. Did not like no air conditioned room.

Good location. Clean roon

The GOOD: We got an economy room that was clean, comfortable and quite spacious including the bathroom and kitchenette. It was “old school” and had no view of the bay, but kind of charming. A small knock is that there was no seating other than a couple of stools without backs. Cooled by a single AC unit in the bedroom, which was adequate for our stay. The check-in desk is attached to a beautiful, covered seating area with a postcard view of Paradise Bay. The coffee and banana bread breakfast served in that area was just great. The BAD: 1) The location has several drawbacks: It is in a run-down (but apparently safe) neighborhood. There’s a VERY steep dropoff from office area to lower units. And, it is on the east side of Oahu that averages about 200 days of rainfall per year– about twice as many days as the west side of the island receives; 2) The list price for the room didn’t include the $28/day Parking Fee or the $42/day Resort Fee – an unpleasant surprise for me; 3) The parking is very limited, and might not be anywhere close to your room, a problem that is magnified when it’s pouring rain; 4) Regarding the steep dropoff to the lower units, you have to climb 34 stairs to get up to the office. Same goes for your car if you can’t park close to your room. The UGLY: From a safety standpoint, the setup here seems injury-prone due to lots of stairs and frequent rainfall. Due to its steep slopes and remote location, it’s hard to imagine how emergency vehicles could
