The host was extremely responsive to my early questions. This accommodation was very spacious and had one of the best views in the city I am sure. The price of the accommodation was half that in neighboring hotels and there was more space inside and on the lanai also than in neighboring locations I have stayed at. I thought that having laundry facilities available was super, the first time I had this in my 7 trips to Honolulu. I consider the location of this building to be very desirable in general even aside from the view. I did not feel welcomed by the hotel, however (they turned off the power for scheduled maintenance at eleven pm way too early, they charged $5 for printing my boarding pass, and the Bell Desk was not open consistently).
