The check in process was extremely easy and everything was as expected. I assumed the time to the beach was probably longer than 2 mins, but it really is just 2 mins away with multiple popular restaurants to stop at along the way. the ABC store just around the corner is also convenient, and there are two others on the way to the beach. That being said, it is on a slightly busier street with moving cars (no traffic) so it can get loud until about 9pm if you are sleeping with the patio doors open. On vacation, i'm definitely one to be out and about as much as possible and my only concern is cleanliness which was satisfactory here! Great room that we booked last minute for our 2 day trip to Oahu. :)
