Overall, this place is ideally situated to enjoy the best that Honolulu has to offer without being trapped in the chaos of Waikiki. We had a three-year-old with us and that made the proximity to the zoo and the amazing playground there, the beach and the aquarium and the trolly lines absolutely perfect. The place was not terribly clean and definitely worn out and the unit needs some repairs. It’s an older building so a lot of that is to do with simply the age of the structure. The hotel has a fabulous rooftop patio with the exceptional views up to diamond head and into the grounds of the zoo and onto the beach which is a great place to enjoy the sunset. Mark was a very accommodating host providing us with water toys to enjoy and overall we enjoyed our stay.
