I stayed here for two nights in March of 2022, and wish I could have stayed longer! The first day,…read moreI thought I was guaranteed to see an apparition, given the house was built in 1914, the history of Mānoa Valley, and the turreted Victorian architecture. But the more time I spent here, this house grew on me. I was lucky to have the Davies room on the third floor (note that there are no elevators, and there are no plans to add ADA access because the house is on the National Registry of Historic Places). Awesome view of Waikīkī at sunrise and golden hour. Being 6'1" the bathroom can be awkward with its placement under a steep-sloped gable, requiring me to stand a little closer to the shower head and sink. The house has that smell like grandma's house, but it's expected with any wooden building this old. Top-notch antiques decorate every corner in a tasteful way. The saltwater pool is an added comfort, and the breakfasts made to order by Tomomi and her daughter is plain ol' good homecooking. Owner Scott Glen put a lot of money, time, and sweat into making this place wonderful. The five ducks, cat, and miniature pinscher are fun housemates!

Took a time out from life and escaped to the historic Manoa Valley Inn ( also known as the John…read moreGuild House) . I immediately jumped in the outdoor saltwater pool. It was private and cooling. I was lucky to have the inn pretty much to myself. I was afraid that it would be haunted but I felt a welcoming atmosphere throughout my stay. I took the John Guild Suite. I felt sad to learn John Guild had embezzled money from the Dillingham company to build this house. He was caught and had to turn the home over to the Dillinghams -- had a quiet evening after having an Italian dinner at a nearby restaurant. Was very quiet and I slept very well. The family that took over the inn was very pleasant and created a terrific breakfast in the morning. I will be returning when I can. You would need to climb stairs if u want the John Guild or Dillingham suites. I did see a clown loach in the aquarium. Haven't seen one in ages and remembered that in the wild they can grow very large. Checking out was done smoothly and felt refreshed to begin the work week again

Unfortunately, the conditions of the cottages weren't accurately depicted in the website photos. Neglected upkeep, noticeably inadequate cleaning, insects crawling on the floors, and unprofessional interactions with the management team. There aren't many options on this side of Oahu, but I don't recommend staying here. We were expecting rustic, but this property fell short on the following for us. 1. Grungy bathroom with only a retrofit micro shower. 2. Smoke detector missing from one of the bedroom ceilings. 3. Greasy substance on kitchen counter and cabinet doors. 4. Debris on top of the backrest of the well-worn couch. 5. Dirty windows and worn out screens. 6. Gross trash on the sidewalk at the stairs up to cottage 11. 7. Lots of rust and dry rot that require exterior repairs. 8. Flock of about 150 pigeons roosting and defecating on the roofs and power lines at the property entrance and parking area. 9. Worn out bedding blanket. 10. Window blinds in disrepair. We tolerated all of this without complaint. However, we did ask the person at the onsite office, Jennifer, to ask the guests staying in the unit above ours to please respect the stated quiet hours, especially when their young children would wake up and loudly begin their day before 6:00 AM. She said she'd have Tommy address this with them that afternoon. No change that night, and we checked the onsite office multiple times the next day but it was always locked. After another two nights of disrupted sleep for all four of us without follow up from management, we decided to cut our losses and leave a day early. Since the office was still unstaffed, we called the offsite management office. At that point, things went from bad to worse when they were extremely rude to us. They kept saying that we did not give them an opportunity to address the issues when we had done exactly that in person a few days before. But in their minds, since we had not called the emergency phone number, our other efforts did not count. Carolyn Rose's apology to us consisted of, "I'm sorry you were confused about how to contact us about the situation."

Plenty of space to spread out for the 12 of us, while the upstairs, front unit (11?) was big enough for us all to eat and hangout together. The "courtyard" also worked well for gatherings and Carolyn pulled out some folding tables for us. Each unit has kitchen and living areas for privacy, but we felt all together in a mansion. The area and shops etc was fine, we felt like locals. The beach is incredible, and the walk down in literally 2 min. You take your coffee cup down there, and there might have been 2 people and 6 miles of beach. Water safe and warm and clean and amazing. Local park right next to us was pleasant and not a disturbance. We where there new years on 2024, and had the time of our lives

Upon arrival, we noticed that the house was at the end of a well off neighborhood. The backyard contained a lot of wooden antiques and knick-knacks stored from floor to ceiling. These were blended into a huge two-level backyard that flourished with huge trees, a menagerie of plants, and wildlife... specifically Sunny the cat, who would mew his greetings to us and bask in the sun. Our host, Brooke, was born and raised on the island and was a great source of recommendations and insight towards our experience. She made sure we had local fruit and homemade breakfast each day during our stay, and was more than accommodating with extra supplies (cooler, beach towels, sunscreen/mosquito repellent). We stayed for two nights in grandpa's apartment and when we had to head out extra early for our first day on the island, Brooke set aside our breakfast so we could have food when we got back. We would definitely come back and recommend it for people who value making connections and experiencing the island with people who call Hawaii home.

The decor made you feel like you were in an Elvis movie, with interesting era-appropriate art and furniture. They have a coffee shop by the check-in desk, great to go order your morning latte. The restaurant is also in the lobby. The bartender is impeccable and original. The pool is on the smaller side, but not highly used so it never felt crowded. It also had ample seating. It's location is nice, you are just off the very busy main Waikiki commercial area, but close to shops, dining and the beach. Cons: Don't ever let them stick you in room 241. (My husband made the reservation, so I have to admit he might not have read the fine print.) I thought I was in hell. It would have been more relaxing to sleep on a park bench. It smelled horribly musty. The floor was curling up on the edges from an obvious moisture issue. The floor was so dirty that it stained your clothes, I'm not sure if it had ever been mopped. Then there was the brain-shattering noise. The first night I thought it was from the parking garage (which was our only cement view with bird crap) and cars revving. By the next evening, I realized that we were directly over the restaurant, and next to the elevator and air conditioning system and near an ice machine. Every few minutes a huge rattling swoosh would occur ALL NIGHT AND DAY. It was so bad I cried. Floor two also happens to be the dog friendly floor. I don't own a dog. All I heard was dogs being taken in and out to poop at all hours. Ugh. We had made reservations well in advance, and had requested to be near the rest of our family in another room. We ended up on another floor well away from them, which was disappointing. Parking is horrible and not in the same building. The garage can't handle anything larger than a sedan, so we ended up paying for a private lot for the week. I didn't hate the place and would consider staying there again for the price, but only if I was sure to get a better room.
