The pros:
- The views from the 27th floor are stunning. You see the ocean from one side of the apartment and the hills from the other.
- Location: I appreciated that this was walkable to Waikiki, but tucked away from the crowds and noise. It was convenient having a coffee shop downstairs and a 7-Eleven right next door.
The cons:
- There was a terrible smell that would surface intermittently the whole time we were there. Other reviewers have noted the same thing so I hope this gets addressed before any other guests have to experience it (it did not get resolved during our stay). We were not in the room much, but when we were and the smell emerged, it was unbearable and opening the windows only helped so much.
- The photos make the place look nicer than it is. While it is renovated and cleaned between stays, there were overlooked areas that make it less clean - stains on the towels, ironing board, curtains, baseboards, and doors; pilling and scratchy sheets; fridge odor (separate from the aforementioned odor).
I wish I could recommend this place because the views and location are great, but until the smell and cleanliness issues are resolved, I recommend looking elsewhere.
