Great location and good neighborhood. It is not as crowded as it is closer to the center of Waikiki. But it is still walking distance to be beach. This was a big plus for us. HHV is across the street and that has a lot of shops and places to eat. Parking was our main concern before we arrived but it worked out well. No issues with availability and it was at reasonable price for the area we were in.
The 2 options we used were the one in the building and the one in the next building (almost negligible walk). We parked at either of these spots based on when we planned to start our day the next day (we went on some early hikes on some days). Parking in the next building is cheaper ($10 for the evening) but the earliest you can take out the car is at 6am). Parking within the building was $20 for the night but they allow to take the vehicle out any time. Very important to note that none of the parking here has in/out privileges. We always left early and came back late so we didn't have to worry about parking here during the day.
The kitchen was well equipped (kettle, rice cooker, pot, plastic wrap, utensils etc.) which was a big plus for us. We wished the bathroom was more spacious but its manageable. Per house rules we didn't hang any clothes on the furniture but the only place to hang towels was the towel bar near the sink. There might have been another towel bar above the toilet based on the marks on the wall. Would be great if there was another towel bar in the bathroom or somewhere else in that tiled area.
Anyone going would need to note that the laundry floor (5th floor) is not accessible past 10:50pm (you cannot press 5 on the elevator even 1 min after this time). It is accessible again only at 7 am. So you would need to plan accordingly. I saw some people waiting on the 5th floor for their laundry instead of waiting in their room/floor for it. That way they can get their laundry past 10:50pm. Also, going up on the elevators needs a key fob to activate it. Only 1 key fob it provided so you would need some coordination if one person in the party needs to get to the room. None of this are major issues. Just stuff that's good to know for anyone going.
Wifi was ok. We never turned on the TV but we had one.
There seems to be someone on watch around the clock so safety is excellent.
Giving this 5 stars since it was great overall. Mahalo again for hosting us!
