This is a great place to stay in Waikiki for solo travellers and couples on a budget, not wanting or needing the frills and expense of the many nearby big name hotels. The location is ideal: steps away from the beach and the main thoroughfare of bustling Waikiki, with its many shops and restaurants. I would advise though that it can get noisy at night, with the sounds of traffic passing below and the a/c unit rattling away. If you’re a light sleeper, bring ear plugs (I ended up purchasing some after my first night there). Otherwise, I heartily recommend this place and would stay here again.
