Not a standard business trip stay but fits the bil

Not a standard business trip stay, but Honolulu was overbooked and YMCA fit the bill. Location is amazing. Facilities very simple but adequate, and staying there felt like contributing to a community, rather than a random hotel company.

Very spartan accommodation. Toilets an showers not up to any reasonable standard. Very busy road outside and louvre windows offered no protection from the noise of the traffic. Staff members were friendly, but this did not compensate for the run down condition of the facilities. Not good value for fee per night.

Well, this is a YMCA. Separate bathroom down the hall, semi-clean. The advantage of this place is its location: right in the middle of five star, hotels, condos, and a huge shopping mall (The Alo Monoa). The staff are very friendly. Otherwise, just sleep there and stay out all day.

Stay at this property if you are OK with limited amenities. Most rooms do not have a private bathroom. Rooms do not have air conditioning. Rooms do not have microwaves or refrigerators or even a mirror. Rooms facing the street are subject to loud street noise. Best features are that rooms cost less than most hotels. Staff is friendly. Free coffee and microwave is available in common areas. Ice is available.

Honestly, this place is a total dump. I had no other solution for a place to stay during the marathon They would even give me a fresh towel. Check took longer than any 5 star hotel I’ve ever stayed at. Total dump

I read a lot of 2/10 and 10/10 reviews, completely bimodal feedback: either terrible or excellent. I do not think they are completely fair. I would rate it 4.5/10. You need to dial down your expectations, these are really, *really* basic accommodations, not a “hotel” by any stretch. It is OK for a solo traveler who is not particularly picky. I stayed for five nights for the Honolulu marathon. This YMCA is right next to the start line and just a short walk to the expo at the convention center. Incredibly convenient for my needs. PROS: excellent location, 15’ walk to Waikiki beaches, relatively clean room, comfy bed, plenty of hot water in the shower, nice staff, low price, easy low-cost covered parking next door, several food trucks right in front of the building. CONS: building condition is quite poor, it has not been painted in decades; no AC in the room; weak wifi, unusable at peak times; shared showers could be cleaner (definitely bring shower shoes); some bathroom sinks were broken; room facing busy road in front of building was VERY noisy; lots of signs with “rules” that would get you expelled (smoking, alcohol, washing clothes in the bathroom, having unauthorized company…) Patrons appear to be a mixture of tourists and long-term residents. Would I consider returning? Probably. But just if traveling alone.

This place has shared restrooms and showers. Some floors are male only, Co-ED and female only. Don’t expect tip top stuff, it is a budget place for a reason. The great thing is it is across a popular mall and walkable. At night it can get noisy since the street is right below and cars love to rev their engines or honk. Restrooms smell bad for males. 1 toilet for many rooms since the other was out of service. 2/6 sinks were not working. There’s also 2 shared showers which is weird. They did provide amenities such as a toothbrush, shampoo, towels etc upon request.
