Very disappointing hotel

I was disappointed by this hotel. It felt more like a 3 star hotel. The location is great - its away from the craziness of Waikiki but just a short walk through the beach park to get to all the restautants and shops. However, the hotel itself looks more rundown. The room was spacious and clean, but with views of a parking lot and a sliver of the ocean through buildings. No one assisted us upon arrival or checkout with our luggage. In fact, we ended up finding a cart that was sitting around and just loading it up oursleves. It took 20 minutes to checkout because the person at the desk was talking on the phone with a potential guest - apparently something that mattered more than the guests who are already staying there. This hotel was definitely not worth the cost of the stay, and I will not be returning.

I only stayed one night there, which I regret. My view from the 10th floor, corner unit had me speechless. Yoobi checked us in and made sure we were satisfied before resuming to his front desk. I love the boutique feel and it was budget friendly, as far as beach property goes in Hawaii. My only draw back was the narrow parking spaces in front of the entrance. That was stressful for me. Otherwise, your experience will be golden.

Although I truly enjoyed my stay at Lotus and love its breathtaking views, I was extremely disappointed by how much more money I had to pay at the end of my stay. The Lotus final receipt was about $600 more than Expedia’s estimated cost when I made the reservation.

Pros: Great location, quiet, close to the beach, polite staff. Cons: The hotel is old and has a smell. From the room on the 4th floor, the view of Diamond Head is almost nonexistent, with only a small glimpse of the ocean. Cigarette butts fall onto the balcony from above. They don’t inform guests about additional fees, such as paid parking ($40 per day) or the amenity fee (also $40 per day), so you’ll face an unpleasant surprise at checkout. It was very frustrating that, according to my Expedia booking, the property was supposed to charge me only $235.90, but in reality, they charged $445.30. They explained that this was because I booked through Expedia instead of directly with them, and also that parking is paid (which was not mentioned anywhere), along with amenity fees and other unexpected charges.
