Definitely would stay here again—
Updated Room on 9th floor in 1963 building. View is truly amazing!! Bar on 2nd floor. Some traffic & bar noise but generally quiet end of Waikiki beach, which was steps away.
Hiroko is a great host. We had a door lock issue and she got it resolved effectively. Now u get a new worry-free passcode lock. Check-in & anytime access was easy with the passcode.
AC worked well. Many fan settings including “quiet”. Lots of free parking within 5-10 mins walk. Across from the zoo. Could hear animals in the zoo! Cool!! & not too loud.
Host Supplied-
Umbrella
2 sets of basic snorkel masks & tubes- worked fine for Hanauma Bay.
2 Beach towels, boogie boards, beach chairs,
2 mini fridges, both with freezers
2 Stovetop burners heated up very quickly.
Hot water in shower was sporadic at times. Had to turn off water and lather first once. Then hot water was fine. Another time hot water was only warm at beginning of shower.
Bed-queen foam mattress sloped towards middle so not the most comfortable for 2. I slept fairly well, my wife, not so much. Btw, I always wear earplugs.
We didn’t use the pool or 10th floor deck area. Odd arrangement at the hotel with some private Airbnb’s, some hotel rooms & some owner residences. Hotel mgmt has no issues w this arrangement.
