Location, location! That is the best thing about this property, right across the street from Waikiki Beach. It is a happy place! Front desk staff were very cordial. We wished we had more time to relax on the lovely rooftop sundeck. While the room is compact, it is clean and organized. We found free on-street parking 4 blocks away and felt safe walking there. On-site parking is $15/night and Zoo parking across the street is $1/hour. Be sure to eat at Duke’s, $19 wonderful lunch buffet right on the beach. We saw Iolani Palace, Hawaii Capital, Mission Houses, Hawaii State Art Museum, and went on several long drives around the central, northern and eastern sides of the island. Would stay here again. Also, you cannot see any of the much-advertised (by another hotel) very short (5 minutes) fireworks from here.
