We had a blast staying in this perfectly located studio. It was so nice and homey in the sense that being from Chicago, the new and modern look felt like being home in the city. This is located in the Marina building, in case you have family in the Hotel, they are down the street but close and walkable to one another. The Ala Moana and Hilton are both a very short walk. There is a Trolley I would research to help get around the downtown area. Rent the car for Diamond Head, Maka'pu, North Shore etc. This unit and working with this couple is highly recommended!
