Really can't beat the location, and value, if you're wanting to be centered in Waikiki. I would always recommend driving a car on the island to explore everything, however, you could do without if you're only wanting to be in Waikiki and the city. You'd never find a hotel with free parking in this area, and that in itself makes it worthwhile. Parking was plentiful, we had a midsized SUV and had zero issues. The unit has amazing views, it's very clean as well which is so crucial in Waikiki. Plenty of towels for our stay, the elevator situation is always tough in high rises but we didn't wait too long anytime we used them. Would stay again in a heartbeat!
