Charisse is a wonderful host, attentive, quick to respond to any issue. The place is well situated in Waikiki and a half block to the Beach. She offers her car for driving which I didn't need. You can look out at Diamond Head from the 2nd story pool area next door at the Queen Kapiolani Hotel right next door with a Mai Tai and think , "This is Heaven. " Although there is no view from the room, it's on the non-street quiet side of the aisle and looks out into an area with trees and a spacious feeling with sky. .The room is very clean, newly painted I think, a great deal at half the price of the Queen Kapiolani next door.. There is a pool downstairs which I noticed on my last day. On Saturday night there is live music on the 2nd floor and a bar which I didn't go to. Charisse kindly told me to be sure to let her know if they were too loud as Hulu has an agreement to reduce the sound if anyone from the hotel/condos objects. I was so tired, I went right to sleep and it really wasn't a problem. This is Waikiki after all. Charisse called in everyday to make sure my questions were answered and wrote notes ahead of time. True Aloha spirit.
