The room is absolutely beautiful. It was great waking up to the beautiful view every morning of my stay. The size of the room fits 2 perfectly. Karen and James keep the place stocked with dishes, pots, pans, utensils, salt and pepper for anyone that needs to use the countertop stove. The bed was comfortable in my opinion. Also had comfy pillows. The hosts were fast at messaging back to any of our questions. There are great options for breakfast in the lobby. Malekos, Cream Pot, and another place that has everything (from corn dogs to poke). All the popular areas are about a 10 min walk away. We opted to use the bikes parked by the 7-11. We got around to Waikiki, Ala Moana, and Diamond Head pretty fast on those bikes. The fireworks at the Hilton every Friday night can be partially seen from the room, but if you want a full show, it’s only about a 12 min walk away. For the most part, we enjoyed our stay.
The things we didn’t like - the workers at the hotel aren’t very friendly. Security wouldn’t watch our bike while we ran upstairs to get something. Front desk couldn’t give us any suggestions when asked what there was to do. It’s very noticeable that the parking attendant hates his job. There’s one elevator that goes up to the 25th floor. It only opened for us once going down, so we always had to walk down one floor to use the other elevators. We hung out at the jacuzzi one night but I couldn’t do it for long because it smelled like urine near that area. There are also interesting characters around the building all day. One guy staying in the building told us in the elevator that he got drugged and didn’t know what time it was.
Overall, it was a great stay and the room was absolutely beautiful and amazing.
