This AirBnb is located in the Aqua Palms on the 2nd floor - however it's really the 5th floor as you are above 3 levels of parking. Same as the pool, so that is nice to see it from the room and be very close. Fitness room is nothing but a spin bike and a treadmill.
Check in was very easy. One of the three elevators is out of commission and has been for a while (as of March 5, 2020). So you have to wait a bit or take the stairs. Vending/pop machine on same floor as room.
Room carpet is gross. It should have been replaced a long time ago. Full of stains. Not at all the level of quality like the rest of the room or property. So I’m not sure why this hasn’t been addressed and cleaned/replaced yet. Room has a mini fridge, microwave, kettle, and hairdryer. The safe was “locked” open so unfortunately we could not use it. A broom would be a nice touch in the room, especially since we stayed 9 nights would have been great to clean up the tile. Also a small cleaning spray/rag would have been nice.
The hide-a-bed was full of crumbs when we opened it and no mattress cover. Other than these issues, the unit was fine. The location was 10 minutes to Ala Moana where you can get groceries. Ihop is in hotel, two 7-11’s are within 5 minute walk as are Subway and McDonalds. Across the street is the Hawaiian Hilton and a Starbucks and a great beach. Waikiki is a bit of a trek about 20 minutes. Bus stop and trolley bus located in front and gets you most places.
Room was very quiet and the view was nice, towards the Hilton. Lots of outlets for your electronics. Wifi was strong. Lots of tv channels.
Jared was easy to deal with and answered any questions I had in advance.
