La localisation et le grand lit

La kitchenette n’est pas très bien équipé, le room service laisse à désirer (poubelle pas vidé, lit pas fait, …).

extreme value and welcoming staff for waikiki beach stay
Pros:

The staff was more than accommodating and helped me easily extend my stay multiple times due to on island issues that came up. I highly recommend this location

Cons:

The bar behind was a little loud, but on a Saturday night that's to be expected with the closeness

Great value, location, staff, and overall great experience. This is my 2nd stay here.
Pros:

The location was near the center of Waikiki down one of the nicest streets. It was easy to walk to all destinations in Waikiki. Near the Hard Rock and Ramen Resturaunts with the Ocean being right around the Corner.
