We stayed here back in March 2020 and now I am wondering if the hotel cleanliness was better because cleaning was heightened before the pandemic broke out. Or we were just happy with a bed and a shower after we were camping with our toddlers fora couple of days out in North Shore. While the facade right after checking was charming and gave a boutique retro feel, we realized soon after how poor the conditions of the room really were. The shower was dirty, the shower curtain smelled like a wet dog, there was hair and sticky stuff on the bathroom floor, the closet smelled really wet and musky. The carpet in the room was dark and gross and I had asked my family to wear their slippers in the room which I typically have a rule to leave it by the front door. The be economical they don't clean the room everyday- which is okay. But they give you these really hard crusty towels. We stayed in Laie for the first leg of the trip and honestly I could have gone without this part. Really disappointed and won't be back.

I recently stayed here a week prior to Halloween. The first room we were assigned to had dirty beds and a badly stained carpet, so we had to move to another room. The staff provided great assistance and also gave me a credit for the inconvenience. The swim up bar had good food and drinks. Their speak easy was a vibe. If I were to return to Hawaii, I wouldn’t mind staying as long as I get a clean room.

There are no elevators but they will carry your bags up or down for you. Friendly helpful staff. The outdoor bar/pool area was my favorite. The room I had was fine, a bit on the old side, but clean. I liked supporting a locally owned hotel vs a Marriott or Sheraton. I felt less of a tourist. For the area, the cost of the hotel was more reasonable. So depending on what you are looking for, I’d recommend it. It worked perfectly for me.

A delightful property, very groovy, small, which is nice as opposed to the multiple room, high-rise commercial hotels. The staff, for the most part were friendly, although the lack of communication was rather inconvenient, as I had intrusive phone calls and knocking at my door, as I extended my reservation a couple times and they did not always get notes. I need a place to rest and the barrage of phone calls and knocking on my door because of the miscommunication between staff was intrusive.

Well, the white sounds is a delightful little getaway in Waikiki, and I stayed at many hotels there, the lack of communication with staff is staggering. I extended my nights as needed, and was constantly woken up or disturbed by staff, asking me how much longer I was staying. They need to work on their communication skills. Otherwise The bar staff and the swings at the bar and the pool set up is charming, and wire. It’s not the four seasons, it is still a fun experience!

Management did not have our reservation (made through Expedia) - finally resolved after several hours delay. Although we paid for our AMENITIES FEE with cash at check-in, we were billed on our credit card when we got home. Attempts through email and text message to the hotel have been left UNRESPONDED. WAKE UP call that was requested never came through. Front desk said they had no record of it.
