Overall I liked this place. Good communication with host and it was really good value for this walkable area of Honolulu. Pros: amazing location, very clean and newly remodeled, bed was super comfortable, nice bathroom (but can’t take a bath because drain doesn’t plug/ stop), beach towels available for use, easily walkable to restaurants/ bars/ beach (this studio apt is located at the Hawaiian Monarch near Waikiki), cool city view of Waikiki and the canal out the window. Only a couple of negatives: 1. mainly noise level. It’s on the 31st floor, so you’d think street noise wouldn’t be bad, but you will hear every single ambulance siren all night long (as well as yelling from the soccer fields across the street), and there are a lot of ambulances and police cars on Ala Wai Blvd at ALL hours. Also parking is a staggering $35 per night, but understand that this is standard, as Honolulu has some of the priciest parking you will ever find in a US city. You can try to park for free along the canal (we actually managed this), but it is very limited and really only happens if you get lucky and put in some time circling around and are willing to walk up to 1 mile to your room. Still a great place to stay- this is a central area in a huge, noisy city after all- but wanted to provide a heads up for light sleepers to bring along ear plugs and/ or a white noise machine. Again, overall good value for this area and would stay here again, especially given how clean and nice this room was.
