Across the street from the beach, which was super convenient! There is a Starbucks and a few restaurants in the same block. The bar on the 2nd floor appeared to always be a hot spot, but no noise is heard in the room. There is not a view from the room patio, but access is given to the 10th floor where the view is amazing! Across the street from the Honolulu zoo and a short walk from the aquarium. I appreciated the towels, lunchbox, chairs, and boogie boards. I would stay here again if visiting Waikiki. Safe area coming from a traveling single mother. I never questioned my safety here!
