This condo is on the 38th floor - the highest you can get in this tower without being in a penthouse suite, which is pretty awesome. The view is great: you can see the canal, the whole city, and the ocean, with the mountains as a dramatic backdrop. It’s pretty at night, too, with all the lights of the city spread out below.
If you want to be a short walk away from the bustle and commerce of Waikiki Beach, this is a good location. It’s in a tower block which appears to be half condos, and half a 2-star hotel. That means the security is good, and there are some services in the lobby such as car rental and a small store. William and Rose are excellent hosts, providing plenty of clear information, and quick responses.
The condo, although small, has been remodeled and decorated in a way that makes it feel spacious and modern. The whole place was very clean. The kitchen area has a coffee maker and microwave. There’s hand soap in the bathroom, but no body wash or shampoo, so remember to pack some.
The pool is on a terrace on the 5th floor. It’s a bit bare and concrete, but gets good sunshine; and at least while I was there, it wasn’t very busy, and there were plenty of loungers and canopies available. I liked the peace and quiet, but you could head to the nearby Hilton Hawaiian Village if you want a bit more atmosphere.
Like every condo in Hawaii I’ve stayed in, the air conditioner is pretty noisy; but there was no noise through the walls from neighbors, and I slept well.
It was a cool, clean, safe space to come back to after a day on the beach, and I really enjoyed my stay!
