Mae's place was a great option for the price! It is a small studio, but the location is good, especially if you don't mind walking a little bit. Easy access to the Hilton Hawaiian Village shops and beach, along with Ala Moana and the convention center. I opted not to use the pool or other building amenities.
I would recommend anyone tall might want to look elsewhere- the shower has a fairly low ceiling.
There is not much noise bleed from the inside of the building, except for when neighbors were opening their doors. Noise from the street isn't awful, but there was some HPD park clearing announcements between 11pm&2am a few of the nights that were extremely loud - nothing Mae can do about this, but something to be aware of if you are a light sleeper!
I took the advice of Mae and from the reviews to take the elevator to the floor above if it was taking too long. Not much of an issue.
Overall, great place, very clean and a good location for the price.
