We loved this apartment. It was bright and sunny, spotlessly clean as was the hotel property itself. It was counter intuitive that the apartment views of land and sea were superior by being located further mauka of neighboring buildings. You don't get the feeling that other visitors are looking in at you. This 8th floor apartment is just one floor higher above the neighboring buildings so we got lots of breezes and sweeping, unobstructed views. A nearby tree topped out just below the apartment on the other side providing color, flowers, interesting birds and privacy. Since this apartment is located at the end of the building away from the elevator, we only had one person walk by. The chaise lounge on the lanai was very private and comfortable and provided a spectacular view. Everything worked, the A/C, all the appliances, fobs, coffee, tv, vacuum, everything worked easily. The bed was firm and comfortable; the shower had nice pressure. The laundry room washers and dryers were clean and large. I could quickly wash and dry all the contents of a carry-on bag for less than $3. The views toward Diamond Head and Kapiolani Park changed constantly and were interesting morning, noon and night. Dining on the lanai was a delight regardless of the direction we faced. We felt safe all the time. Many bus and trolly routes are only a minute or two away. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
