Guest rating: 3.0 / 5
Overview
SCH19 - Kalaemano Studio suite is part of Aloha, a Chandler, Arizona roadside property originally built in the 1950s and given a full remodel and facelift starting in 2020. The property leans into a Polynesian-inspired theme, aiming to bring a touch of island hospitality and lushness to its central Arizona location. It's positioned as a stylish, comfort-focused stay rather than a large chain hotel.
Studio & Comforts
The studio suite is designed with premium linens and detail-oriented amenities meant to make road-tripping guests feel at home. In-room features include air conditioning, heating, cable TV, free Wi-Fi, a kitchen, microwave, ironing board, and a private balcony. A washer is also available, which is a practical bonus for longer stays.
Amenities & Recreation
Guests have access to an outdoor pool area with lounge chairs and a cornhole game setup, plus a picnic table for relaxing outside the room. The property is pet-friendly and kid-friendly, and it's kept smoke-free throughout. Parking is available on-site, though it is paid.
Location & Dining
The suite sits within easy walking distance of downtown Chandler's restaurant and bar scene, including several New American spots like The Hidden House, Born & Bred, and George & Gather, plus SanTan Brewing, The Stillery, Rebel & Rogue, and Miel de Agave Chandler steakhouse and Spitz Mediterranean. A bus station is just steps away at Arizona Ave & Erie St, with additional stops at Chandler Blvd & Arizona Ave and Ray Rd & Arizona Ave nearby. Both Phoenix Sky Harbor and Mesa Gateway airports are reachable by car in roughly 17-21 km.
Best for
This studio suits road-trippers and couples looking for a themed, comfort-focused stay with a kitchen and washer for longer visits, plus easy pool time via the outdoor pool and cornhole area. It also works well for travelers who want to walk to downtown Chandler's dense cluster of restaurants and bars, and for those relying on public transit given the bus stop just meters away.
Travel tips
The nearest bus station is only about 58 meters away at Arizona Ave & Erie St, making car-free exploration of downtown Chandler straightforward. Both Phoenix Sky Harbor and Mesa Gateway airports are around 17-21 km away, so budget time for the drive if flying in or out. Note that on-site parking is paid, so factor that into your visit if you're driving.
What guests say
Guest feedback highlighted responsive, easy communication with the host and a smooth check-in and check-out process, along with a clean room and comfortable bed, though the low bed height was noted as less ideal for taller guests. The pool area with lounge chairs and cornhole was called out as a nice amenity. On the downside, reviewers mentioned insufficient towels and toilet paper for longer stays, a lack of storage or hanging space and counter space in the bathroom, and nighttime noise disturbance from nearby septic truck activity.
