I was very pleased with this place. The rooms are recently updated and are wonderfully appointed. The rooms won't really have a view of the ocean, but they have a commanding view of Diamond Head. They overlook a small park next to an elementary school, and from there the zoo, Kapiolani Park and Diamond Head. Being off Kapahulu, it is really easy to get in and out of the area with minimum fuss, which is useful if you have a car and want to see the rest of the island. You won't get that if you stay in central Waikiki, where you will have to fight traffic to get in and out. You're about two blocks from the ocean, and are on the park end of Waikiki. Our host was great, prior to our stay she answered all my questions very promptly.
