I had a lovely stay at the Marine Surf Building. The location is prime, just a few minutes walk to beach and all the food, drink, and shopping Waikiki has to offer. The lanai provides some excellent people watching but still feels secluded as it is a bit back from the street. The pool area was clean, mostly empty and unheated for refreshing dip. Every staff member I interacted with was friendly and helpful. I arrived late and did not fully read the check-in instructions but the front door man helped me into the building and I was up in the unit in no time.
As mentioned, the location is prime Waikiki so expect a few Waikiki noises to reach your ears especially if the lanai door is open. Also, there are a few funky smells associated with Waikiki but I think that will happen anywhere you stay in town.
I did have a little trouble finding the trash chute at the end of my stay, it is located in the Laundry Room in the corridor to the left of the unit, right behind the door. The last little trick was parking, the garage is TIGHT so go slow, the entrance and corners only allow room for one car to access the drive aisle at a time.
Overall, you can't beat the price for the location and I would 10/10 stay again.
