This was our first trip to the Hawaiian islands. We stayed on Oahu the entire time. This location is very centrally located in Waikiki. When we weren’t driving to other parts of the island, we were mostly walking down to the beach, or walking around finding places with a good view and good food-not hard to do here. The place was very clean. Because it is in a hotel, and your are not technically a hotel guest, you are not able to participate in some of the complementary activities provided by the hotel. However, it didn’t really bother us as we were so busy running around anyway! There is a laundry room on site but the vending machine for the individual packets of detergent and dryer sheets were pricey- you are better off getting them from the ABC store across the street if you plan on doing more than one load.
Overall, it was a great location, comfortable, clean, centrally located, and with a beautiful view off of the lanai.
