Overall a great stay. Great communication, location, great view, good facilities, cleanliness, free parking.
Jack, Mia, and their on-call manager, as well as the front desk security/check-in guy were all laid back and very easy to work with. They even helped us with a rowdy neighbor around 1:30 am and quieted them down within 10 min of texting the manager.
Location is excellent to explore Waikiki area. 10 min walk to downtown with many food/shopping options, Hilton Lagoon, and the beach; many convenience stores available within 5 min walk for necessities.
The view of the Inn on the Park unit was great as shown in photos. You can see the Diamond head with the park right up in front, with some ocean behind the buildings. The porch is south facing and gets sun in the morning, then is shady for the rest of the day. It’s a nice place to have breakfast I’d you aren’t afraid of heights. Though if the AC is on, it can be a bit noisy sitting on the porch.
It’s a cozy studio (felt around 400 sq ft.), great for singles and couples. Maybe a bit tight for 3 and up beyond a toddler. We were a couple and very comfortable. There’s a 7/8 sized fridge, some salt/oil/coffee you can use. Cookware and utensils are plenty for 2 to prep light meals on the 2 burner ceramic stove. There’s no oven but there’s a coffee maker, a toaster and a microwave.
Facilities are pretty good. Generally very quiet (<40 dBa). Some yard work/traffic during the day but itching unreasonable. 5the floor is public residents space with a pool, outdoor lounge area, and laundry.
Free parking is an elevator ride down, a nice amenity to have in the area. Unfortunately there is no place to charge an EV (even a household outlet) if you need that -there are a couple nearby EV plugs but they’re at least 10 min away and can be crowded, costs money to park, and closed overnight.
There’s a set of beach chairs, small cooler bags, a sun umbrella, and a couple boogie boards in the closet. There’s a pair each of hand towels, beach towels, and bath towels, as well as a bathroom towel. House rules are reasonable and easy to follow.
The only downsides we noticed were mostly minor wear & tear around the unit (fed back to Jack & Mia separately) and a moderately noisy AC (about 50-56 dBa when on). But it wasn’t enough to deter sleep after the long days you’ll be spending in Hawaii.
Overall we’re happy with the stay, especially the cost effectiveness. Will definitely consider again when visiting Hawaii.
