If you enjoy the bustle of Waikiki I think this location is optimal, very close to the beach, great views of Diamond Head, and easy access to amenities like restaurants, coffee shops, and stores. The unit itself was very well equipped and comfortable. The Grand Waikiki is a little dated in the lobby, and there is a bit of a noisy bar, but this unit is quiet and once inside it's very clean, well-appointed, and new. Check in was as easy as it can be.
