Larry’s room was amazing! Truly made our stay much easier. This was the only room I found with a washer/dryer unit provided, so we didn’t have to worry about going to laundromats. He provides everything you would need for cooking, including a toaster oven, pots and pans, plates and utensils, and basic seasonings and oil. He even provides everything you would need for a good beach day such as a beach mat, towels, chairs, and snorkeling goggles.
Larry’s communication was outstanding! He provides a binder with everything you’d need, so much that we barely needed to reach out to him, but when we did, he responded very quickly!
The food places downstairs were amazing! The bakery/coffee shop has great cold brew. The owner is very nice and owns the pizza shop at night. The burger/ sushi place downstairs is also amazing, a great hole in the wall place (the Katsu sandwich was so good!)
The location was perfect, although it’s a good 20 min walk from the all the shops and commotion, it stays fairly quiet, and the bus is easy to use. $5.50 for a day pass! It’s right next to a 7/11 (try the spam masubis!) and an ABC store which was extremely convenient!
A few tips:
- the washer unit is fairly loud and takes a while to dry. Expect to need an extra dryer cycle especially for the beach towels.
- there are extra shampoos, soaps, and conditioners in the cabinets outside of the room
- there are also extra trash bags and paper towels in that cabinet
- the room is quiet small, but anywhere in Waikiki is. I recommend making use of the drawers and closet to save luggage space
- the walls are fairly thin
- you can store your luggage with the security downstairs if your flight does not leave until after check out which was very convenient
- if your room key is acting up, have security reprogram it. It was a very common occurrence with other residents
