The check in process was simple and stress-free. The condo is exactly as described. Lots of room inside for sitting and huge lanai for sipping your morning tea/coffee or evening beverage. Views of the marina and adjacent park are lovely. I loved that the lanai was not in the direct sun. Kitchen well equipped. Lots of storage space in bedroom and bathroom, and plenty of beach towels! We didn’t use the AC so cannot comment on it but the room fan was powerful and effective. This end of Waikiki is quieter than the main strip (this is why we like it!) but we could walk to everything we wanted to do/see in Waikiki. We did rent a car for a couple days from the Hertz in the lobby. Note that parking at the Ilikai Marina parking garage is now $28/day - a steal compared to other hotel parking like the Hyatt Regency. Surface (metered) parking is cheaper.
We’re so happy we chose this location! Highly recommend if you want to get away from the crowds but still be close to the action.
