Nice room and well worth the price. Your right in the middle of Waikiki and everything is in walking distance. The zoo is right next door and the aquarium isn't much further away. Surfing and major hotels are right there as well. All the pick ups for the tours are also right next door. I was happy but if you're looking for hotel accommodations this isn't for you.
Nice stay! Everything was walking distance. 8 mins walk to the Food Pantry and 3 mins walk to the beach. We had a great time staying here. The Property owner supplied everything that we needed. From coffee maker, crock pot and beach stuff for kids. Everything was fully stock as far bathroom tissue, towels (was more than 2) and tidy place. The look from the outside was not as nice as a Hotel but, inside is. #403 was up on the 4th flr but, love the exercise that I'm getting. Definitely, worth a try.
Place has everything you need that makes you feel at home. Less than 5 mns away to the beach, and plenty of restaurants. The process is pretty simple to get in, it's clean, has cable, a fridge, AC, everything you would expect. Wish the property manager was more responsive but overall we had a great experience. It was definitely worth the money
