Great location with an amazing view; having the full kitchen was good for dining in.
Depending on your timing, there might be a couple-minute wait for the elevator, especially with the capacity limits, but I personally would prefer waiting slightly longer to a crowded elevator anyway.
Didn't bother to rent a car; there's a bus stop literally right outside the entrance if you want to go further afield (we visited Pearl Harbor) but everything else--groceries, the beach, Ala Moana shopping, coffee--is a short walk away.
