The location is wonderful with easy access to nearby shops and restaurants. Don Quijote is a Japanese market with freshly made sushi, poke and other chicken dishes along with fruits and other necessities. I recommend getting there around 10 to avoid the line and when they put the freshly made food out. There’re also other fast-food places right outside. From the hotel, it’s about.5 mile to the right. Ala Moana mall is right next door and can be accessed from the second floor with a brief walk pass a sky bridge and through a parking lot and Macy’s. There’re other restaurants such as Gen Korean BBQ, Olives Garden, Japanese steakhouse etc on the fourth floor of the mall and a food court on first and third floor.
The room looked very clean and fit 4 people with 2 full beds which were comfortable. I think it’s comparable to Hampton Inn in the mainland. The snack bag along with bathroom and laundry essentials were a nice touch. Checkin was easy (one very minor error which was quickly fixed). We presented our IDs along with state of Hawaii clearance with the check marks. We paid one time fee of $50 and $25 for each night. Parking was $35 (rounding up) for each night - all of these fees were in the listing.
The view was much better than the pictures. This hotel is walkable to Waikiki, but it was more subdued. We’d definitely stay here again next time we visit Honolulu.
Thank you Soon and Kevin for sharing this wonderful place with us. We’ll be back 😁
