My partner and I booked this way in advance, I think in sometime in May. I thought it was a good location for Waikiki easy to access and leave without having to fuss with too much clustering of traffic. We had a clear nice view of the fireworks for NYE. Self check- in was extremely convenient, as was the parking. The building and room had a bit of an odd smell but other than that everything was comfortable and clean for us and we enjoyed our short stay.
