Staying at Shannons was excellent. It was a very cozy space, in a great location, everything was walkable. We did not plan to stay in, as Hawaii is all about the activities and for that purpose this base was excellent. I researched extensively and you cannot beat the price to value on this one.
The Highlights for me was:
People watching from Balcony.
Central location made Waikiki walkable.
Great Beach around the corner.
And a bar/restaurant right below that stays open later then other shops if you get hungry. Also if ur stuck in a storm, just find urself downstairs.
