The location is the best part. Not too close to the touristy areas, but everything is in walking distance. You can walk along the Ala Wai, be at the Convention Center in under 10 minutes, and easily get to Walls or Magic Island for some less touristy beach time. Check-in and check-out were seamless. There were a lot of nice touches and plenty of info for new visitors to Hawaii. Take advantage of local street parking. Most of the time, there is no need to pay for parking - you can find spots if you're willing to walk 1-6 blocks.
