The location was great! Walking distance to Waikiki beach and close to many great restaurants and shops. The view from the balcony is fantastic! Also, do keep in mind you cannot store your luggage at the hotel before check-in or after check-out time. However, there was a place next door that offers luggage storage so we did not have to carry our things around while walking around before our flight home. Other than that, the check-in and check-out process was really simple and the host was very communicative.
