The location is much closer to the beach than I expected. There are many options for dining within walking distance with McDonald's being the closest only a block away. More than enough towels for both showering and going to the beach. The rooms a pretty secure requiring a key fob to get you to your floor via the elevators. The bottom floor has a place to rent Smart Cars and beach accessories. If you're in the mood for a fancier car there is a rental lot with high-end cars about 100 yards from the front door (Tesla, Alfa Romeo, Maserati). If you're planning on staying in the Waikiki Beach area there is no need for a car since parking is almost impossible to find and everything you could possibly imagine is within walking distance of the room. This room does not have a view of the beach. It does have 2 balconies, but you will just be looking at the road and buildings around you. The internet access was great and there is cable tv. There is no oven, but there are 2 hotplates. One with dual burners and one with a single burner as well as a microwave. There is a toaster and all the utensils you would need along with plates, bowls, cups, and mugs. There is a queen bed and a futon couch. The futon was not especially comfortable, but the bed was sufficient and bedding for the futon was in the front closet. The place is fairly small so it might feel cramped with more than 2 adults. Communication with the owner was always quick. Usually, within minutes of me contacting them, I had a response. Self-check-in was extremely easy. I was more than pleased with the cost especially when I realize how conveniently located it was to the beach and shopping and dining. I would definitely try to rent this place again when in Waikiki.
