Enjoyed our stay at Marcos' place very much. We were there for a self-paced vacation. Marco's place provided a nice home-like feeling with high degrees of freedom and privacy.
Before I go to the good parts, I want to mention that this place is an economical choice. The place is a single room condo with full bath and no kitchen. The building that holds it is a 3-star hotel, the place is a bit aged but all facilities well maintained and good for use. Plus, the hotel staff are very friendly.
Following are the nice things I want to call out:
1. Being part of a hotel, there's always a front-desk where you can go to. This means no worries upon late check-in. And I was able get changes at the front-desk, very handy. The front-dest also offers an option to store luggage after checkout. So no worries if you have a late flight. (Highly appreciated service!)
2. The place is surrounded with the local supermarket, super convenient to buy food, drinks, and bus pass ;).
3. The bus in front of the building goes to Ala Moana Center, a nice shopping mall that you don't want to miss. (In fact, the Center is also within walking distance. We did night walks from there. Very nice walk to enjoy the sea breeze.)
4. The place is also very close to the Hilton Lagoon, which connects to the Waikiki beach. A night walk there is also a joy.
5. Although not at the center of Waikiki, the place is right beside a major road, provides easy traffic access to other parts of Oahu for both driving/busing.
6. Bathroom water is great.
7. The tour books that Marcos provided are very helpful and in general a nice read.
Tips:
If you want to use the washing machine provided by the hotel, you can find powder detergent available at the local ABC store. Saves money and effort as the detergent vended besides the washing machine costs more and is quarter-only.
