Waikiki Garden Villa — Hotel in Honolulu

This is older but well maintained building. Our studio was very small, you could hardly move besides bed and furniture. There was no coffee table, it was only one armchair even I asked (and was promised for another one), you need to have your coffee in the kitchenette. Fridge was small, utensils old, but good thing is you can ask staff if something is missing (we did not have wine opener) or for better quality ( we exchanged some rusty pans), |Building is three floor high, surrounded high rise buildings, so there is no enough sun what we see and big disadvantage.

The building has 3 levels but no elevator, luckily we found someone to help with our suitcases at checkin and out.||Office hours are from 8am to 5pm but we found staff very helpful and pleasant...

Let’s see, where do we start? With the ants (called the office, but nobody showed after 5 hours, so they just not care)? The hole in the floor? They view to the back alley or the street? The lamp with no button to turn it on? Maybe the broken outlet that’s an electrical hazard (thinking of reporting it to the authorities) or perhaps just the really bad stools to sit on?||It’s safe to say that we will never stay here again - ever...||We are still on our first night, but checking out tomorrow and into a different hotel. It will cost us $240/night, about the same as this. But way better - it’s nonrefundable, but I really don’t care - I will happily lose the money than stay here for...
