Great location. Right next to Hilton Lagoon and a calm but rocky under foot beach. Fireworks go off at the lagoon at 8 pm on a Friday night. The beach and lagoon were so good that we did not bother with the pools. They are on level 2 and the ground floor (out the back by the sea side of the building). We brought beach towels with us from home which was lucky as the condo only had two. There is an ABC store down the road towards the Hilton and another across the road near MacDonald. They were a decent price for small grocery shops. There is also a more expensive small store in the building. Plus an icecream store, some souvenir stores, a coffee store and Cinnamons (an ok ish cafe/restaurant). You could walk to main Waikiki Beach or Ala Moana Mall (other direction) within 15 mins. There is a laundry room on the floor. It only uses credit card or a laundry card. It wouldn’t accept my NZ credit card so I bought a laundry card on the 7th floor.
The condo itself is in keeping with its cost. It is old and dated but was left very clean. It had everything you needed and the main bed was super comfy. The kids were fine on the sofa bed but I would not have wanted to sleep on it as an adult. Internet worked well. The A/C lacked a bit of power. The room is private from other rooms and we did not hear any noise from either of our neighbours. You are facing a main road so there were road noises (which lessens at night) and the occasional siren.
