Downtown location and size/amenities were key for us - for our 10 day trip we wanted a kitchen and separate bedroom/living spaces. For this alone it was worth the money. Note that the condo was a little dated with scuffed walls and some carpet stains but the condo was clean and felt very safe. The floor to ceiling windows in both the living room and bedroom were amazing. People who do not live in major city may be alarmed at homelessness in the surrounding downtown area but nothing beyond what we're used to and the lobby was clean/attractive with a security desk. Key fob is required to use the elevator. The 11th floor pool (quite large) and hottub were very nice and I often had them completely to myself which I found amusing after walking passed the mass of bodies at the Waikiki hotel pools . We never had a car and walked to all of the restaurants (including some amazing Dim Sum). The next time we stay in Honolulu I would definitely book this place.
