We were in Oahu for 2 days on our way to New Zealand, and we wanted a simple place to stay while we went to Pearl Harbor and enjoyed a few other sites of the island. My travel agent suggested this place, and it was perfect for us. It just has an old Hawaii vibe, simple and laid-back. It's not a fancy resort, but it is comfortable and clean. The rooms are a bit old-fashioned, but they are nice and clean, and the beds are comfortable. Michael at the front desk is charming and informative and made sure we had everything we needed. I'm sorry to leave, but if we ever come back to Oahu, I will consider Paradise Bay.
All that said, I do have two concerns that I wish the management would address. Although the bathroom is large and clean, the tub is old-fashioned with an extremely slippery bottom. The shower head is outdated as well. It's clean, but I believe that it's an accident waiting to happen with that slippery tub.
Another concern of mine is the stairway to the laundry room. I love that they had self laundry facilities, but to get there you had to go down a set of stairs. There were motion lights to light your way, however they stayed on for a total of 5 seconds, plunging you in the dark with arms full of laundry flailing to hold on! I think this defeats the purpose of motion lights! They need to stay on for at least 30 seconds, preferably one minute. In my opinion that's another accident waiting to happen.
But those two issues are things that are easily fixed, and it would not keep me from recommending this lovely little hotel.
