This is a lovely room with a lovely view. It is within walking distance of anything you might want to do in Waikiki. I did not use the kitchenette so I am not sure how well anything there worked. Parking is $25 per day, pay up front in cash. But it is very convenient to access your car. Perhaps you could find free parking somewhere but the time and aggravation do so was not for me. The hotel is dated and funky but the room is bright and cheerful and very "new" feeling. Check in was a breeze. All interactions with the hotel staff were friendly and helpful. The window air conditioner is somewhat insufficient. For this reason, I kept the air conditioner on at all times and the curtains closed during the day. so I was pretty comfortable but this is May. Not sure it would have been if July. But that would be my only complaint from an otherwise good experience.
