If you want the Waikiki experience this is a great place to stay. A lot of near by shops, convenience stores and the beach. Hotel/Room is older but its a great spot to freshen up and rest for your next adventure. Couple downsides during our stay which may or may not happen on your trip 1) check in is anytime after 3, got there after 3:45 and cleaner was still cleaning the room. 2) It may be my personal preference but I like it when the host "welcomes" you via message day of check in to make things at check in go smoothly and avoid things like showing up when the cleaner is still there. I messaged host prior to arriving at location and didnt get a respond back till a while later. 3) Power went out right before checking out. Not the hosts fault at all. It just happened on our luck. Room is on the 33rd floor so walking down with luggages and bags werent an option. Front desk told me they were gonna put on the generator but we didnt have power for an hour. Overall I would recommend rental
