5/5 this place is a hidden gem and had much than we expected.
The bed was bouncy but we slept great and it’s far up enough so you don’t hear any street noise, the view is great btw. We had coffee on the balcony every morning and enjoyed the sun.
The wifi worked perfectly and I was able to work & take meetings & we were able to stream movies at night.
The AC also worked great and kept the room nice and cool and ventilated.
The kitchen had all the utensils , pots, pans , a coffee pot that doubled as a water boiler and even a rice cooker. But honestly there were so many places nearby to eat we never used it.
The bathroom had bath towels, face towels, and beach towels for 2 people which was nice.
There is a laundry right down the hallway that we used and we luckily found some leftover detergent in the bathroom.
There is easy access to kahanamoku beach. We bought a floaty from the abc store and went floating in the ocean , super relaxing. Oh yeah theres an ABC store on the corner and next door.
The place is located inside a hotel so you’ll have access to a marketplace/liquor store, a good ice cream shop, surf board rental, and coffee shop/ breakfast restaurant/ bar. And it’s own pool and lounge.
It’s located right next to the Hilton so we walked over and explored there.
It’s about a 20 min walk to Waikiki beach but it’s scenic and relaxing , you walk through a park but there are no homeless or anything.
We heard Waikiki beach isn’t safe at night but this hotel area was very safe and we never felt unsafe. Can’t say the same for Waikiki beach area. Also Waikiki is loud at night but this area was quiet.
Since you made it this far I’ll share with you a secret: there’s a secret side elevator you can take so you don’t need to wait in line in the lobby. There’s also a super good cheap onigiri place about a 5 min walk called Komedokoro open 10am-2pm. Get the purple onigiri and get hooked. You’re welcome
