There are many positives for our stay. Check-in was a breeze; there's a store on the 6th floor to buy any essentials or basic food/beverage items which was super convenient; the pool, hot tub, bbq's, sauna, are all a plus; the lanai is spacious, although faces east & quite warm in the morning for breakfast; it's a number of blocks from the beach, but many people are also toting their umbrellas/chairs and it works fine!
Some down sides: it wasn't as clean as we're accustomed to. The shower door is old/sticks/grungy, areas under little side tables hadn't been swept, a few of the utensils (teapot) weren't clean, the soap dispensers didn't dispense soap easily. One of the chairs was broken, but it was nice to have the other & the umbrella. Fair warning that the bottom of the bed collapses unless the legs are pulled out each night (we left it set up throughout our stay & they must have gotten jiggled--thus collapsing at the bottom twice.)
There are some amazing restaurants near by! Our favorite was Marugame Udon. The bus is very easy to catch and a simple bus ride away from Ala Moana Mall, which has an exceptional food court (Yummy Korean food is excellent!)
If you want to go to a museum, the Honolulu Art Museum is very good and also an easy bus ride; nearby is an Italian restaurant with very reasonable lunch specials that are tasty: Aunty Pasto's.
