This place is ALL about location! If you're looking for a place to sleep at night while you adventure about the island, this is the spot for you. The hotel is a couple blocks from the beach and super close to shopping and other fun spots in Waikiki. The room is fine, definitely could use some updates, but does the job. Note: The air conditioner is super loud, but my boyfriend and I ended up loving the fact that it gave us some white noise. Bring earplugs if you're a light sleeper! We didn't get to visit the pool because it was under construction during our stay (plus we were mostly out snorkeling the whole trip), but it did look nice. Mark was a great host and was super quick to respond and helpful for the check-in process. Overall I would recommend staying here if you're planning a quick vacation to visit the island!
