If you want to be right next to the beach in Waikiki this is a great spot--I wish I'd had more time to enjoy the location! The balcony has a great view, and you're steps away from the water. The room is definitely smaller than it looks in the pictures and is simple, but was enough for me (one person)--or someone you want to get cozy with ;) Was definitely nice that there was a mini fridge and microwave. As others mentioned, the room is directly above a bar that plays loud music late into the night. This wasn't a problem for me, but I wouldn't recommend it for someone sound sensitive. Parking was the only pain. If you don't have a car--great! If you do, it's worth planning in advance. The zoo is great and convenient to park at--but forget trying to find a spot anywhere between the hours of 11-3:30PM (also the zoo's parking meters are a bit archaic/don't work and I got a ticket!). The hotel does have a parking garage, but it's limited and you have to reserve in advance (I didn't know this). There's free street parking along Monsarrat Ave, but a friend said he sees a lot of cars broken into off that street, so I avoided parking there (and also never saw any available spaces). For me, the parking was definitely more of a hassle than I thought it would be, but that was really the only drawback to this spot and something you'd also experience at other spots in Waikiki. Just something to plan ahead for! Overall, very convenient location with a nice view if you want to be in the heart of things!
