The location is great and super convenient. Born and raised on Oahu, we were familiar with the area. For those who aren’t and are considering this location, I can attest to some of the intangibles. It’s near the beginning of Waikiki coming from either Kalakaua or McCully, so you don’t get caught in some of the hectic Waikiki traffic, if you were say deeper in. It’s closer to the Kuhio side. Some people may say that it’s a bit shadier than the Kalakaua side, which isn’t inaccurate. But it allows for easier coming and going, because Kuhio has two-way traffic. The area is generally safe, and onsite parking with elevators from the garage straight into the secure building make it extra safe. Good food really close by - walking distance to a bunch of food halls (Yokotcho, international marketplace, and Alley come to mind). And if you’re coming and going, again, the on-site parking cannot be beat! Check-in was a breeze. The unit itself is on a high floor, and you have a decent view from the lanai that includes both ocean and mountain views sandwiching the Waikiki skyline. The room is spacious enough to move around and the room amenities are unbeatable as well (fridge, freezer, stove, microwave, kitchenware, etc), and some thoughtful touches with snorkeling and watersport gear waiting for the guests in the closet.. perfect for the short stroll to Waikiki beach. Highly recommend and would definitely stay again.
