Location was ideal for which it was definitely walking distance to the restaurants and the beach, yet quiet. Keep in the mind though if you are looking for a fancy place to stay, this may not be your place. Saichi was a great host, keeping frequent communication and making sure I was doing well. Overall, if you want to stay in Waikiki on a budget, standard amenities provided, and do not plan to stay in your room all day (why would you? Get some sun!), go for it.
