Great location with amazing penthouse ocean view. Overall good value for the money we paid. Self-check in was easy and seamless. Ala Moana shopping center is almost right across the street and Ala Moana beach is about 10 min walk which is as beautiful and less crowded than Waikiki. We chose not to walk to Waikiki area but it's def possible to walk there (25min by walking one way). The place seemed outdated but it was kept very clean and had everything we needed. We were provided many towels and the hot water run great as well.
Note the building is old, the elevator is tiny (almost no space with just 4-5 people per ride) and very slow (plan extra 10 min just for the elevator) and we heard lots of traffic noises and people speaking by the elevator at night (the walls are probably thin). AC unit was unbearably too loud for someone like me who is a light sleeper. Luckily we visited in Dec so we didn't need to keep it on at night as the temperature was cool enough but I imagine I wouldve had a hard time sleeping if we visited in summer. Free parking space was a huge plus and was one of the main reasons we picked Alyssa's place but one thing to be aware - going up and down the parking structure was nerve racking for me because it was very curvy and in my opinion, was extremely narrow for two way traffic. Every time we were getting in and getting out from parking lot I was sweating, hoping no car would come out from my opposite side.
