We loved staying here. The building is certainly not the nicest around, but is very secure and we did not have any problems. The location is perfect- so central to everything! We walked most places in Waikiki (including all the way down to Ala Moana but I don’t recommend that). I know that others mentioned parking but if you don’t want to pay, park on Monsarrat (by the zoo). It is about a 10-15 walk depending on where you can find parking, but we were able to find parking every time we needed to and it is free overnight. We didn’t need anything fancy for the room, as we were out pretty much all day. The room was perfect for our needs.
