The place is clean. A little sand on the floors but that is to be expected when people visit the beach and come back. It is small but has all the amenities that you need. There is a kitchen and refrigerator. The bathroom is nice. I liked how there is a traditional Japanese bath inside the shower area. The futon in the living room was nice since it provided a bed for our child to sleep. The bedroom is comfortable. There is air conditioning. And the view of the ocean is fantastic!
Obtaining the room key was a minor inconvenience as you need to open a lock that stores the key. And I had to take up to a minute to open it. But that was the only inconvenience. There is free parking which is a major advantage of staying here! Parking in Waikiki is almost impossible. There are beach towels for use. Going to the beach is so convenient as it is about 4 blocks away and easy to walk to. Right when you reach the beach, there are rentals for surfboard, beach umbrella and chairs. Coming back from the beach, you can stop by the building's pool on the fourth floor and there is a shower there to rinse off the sand. Of course, you could just hang out at the pool instead as it is convenient.
The location is great. And it is also close to the Honolulu Zoo. But it is far away from the noisiness of Waikiki the further west you go. Just an excellent place to stay!
