Comfortable, affordable, and clean basic lodging on the UH campus for those with a relationship to the university, another university, or visiting students or faculty visiting UH Manoa. Everyone in my conference group was very happy with these basic accommodations. Prices were really good for Honolulu metro.
The smallest room includes soap, shampoo, a large dorm fridge (no freezer), work desk, flat panel TV, alarm clock with plugs and charging ports, and a small desk fan. There are no cups or coffee mugs in the room. Hot and cold drinking water dispensers are in the halls and in the basement vending/laundry area. When the front desk is open you can leave your luggage with them after you check out. Check out is 10 am (FIRM). Night time the front door is closed, and you have to enter via the side entrances using your key card.
The lack of AC is the main thing that may keep some folks away in the summer months. The small desk fan provided to guests helped. Cool breezes came often enough to keep things comfortable I must say.
The bus to Waikiki beach is $3 each way exact change. The front desk may be able to break a $5 bill for bus fare, but not a $20.
A short 15 minute walk takes you to Manoa Marketplace strip mall which offers a grocery store and other shops.
If you plan ahead you can get a $5 per day 24hr guest parking permit for your entire stay that lets you park in the small parking lot next to the building. You must order the permit well in advance of your visit.
I would stay here again when my work brings me to UH again.
