The view and the location!! We enjoyed walks to magic island and beyond; those smaller beaches were lovely and accessible. (note: no umbrella or chair rentals over there) Close to Hilton Hawaiian village area, not right in Waikiki and that was different and great. ABC mart is close by and convenient. Elevators were both open mostly, little slow like ppl mentioned but we did not encounter huge issues. Ala Moana center is close by if that’s one of your destinations. You get a great ocean and city view from this unit and we enjoyed every bits. Free parking was awesome. We needed check-in assistance, but James was super responsive. The room is not sparklingly new but in a good condition with everything we needed. One mystery,,,, there was no fire works on Friday night when we stayed!!!! All in all, a great stay.
