The location was great - at the far end of all the Waikiki Beach action - and so close to the bus stop to get away to other parts of the island. If you're a big shopper, you'll be walking up and down the main drag a lot...but that's good exercise, right?
Being steps off the beach made it easy to get up and out to enjoy the sunshine. But I was already awoken at 5:30 in the morning when the dump trucks made their rounds through the alley below, the racket echoing up and through the open window. If you're a light sleeper or require darkness to stay asleep, pack your ear plugs and eye mask too because the curtains do not block out any of the morning light.
The space is perfectly cozy for two people who sleep in the same bed. We requested a second bed because there was a my friend & her 14 month old child who shared the main bed and myself - - I got the little cushion on the floor and luckily don't require a super soft mattress to sleep, generally.
The building is nice, the staff were very kind and let us store our baggage, made phone calls on our behalf for tour activities, etc and it was great to come in from a long day out and about to a nice shower, and even flip on the TV for some R&R.
Note - It is not a hotel room, so you need your own toiletries. But, again a great little place for a couple who spend their time outside and want the security of a private room.
I know my experience was unique in that I was there with a friend and her baby...and I got sick so I was a little miserable. But I think this is a good little home base for a short vacation in paradise.
