Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
From start to finish, this was a very smooth and enjoyable stay. Communication is excellent -- staff are responsive, knowledgeable and pleasant. The unit itself is great for a couple -- small enough to be efficient, but big enough to have a small kitchen with full fridge, couch and desk areas, and table for dining on the lanai, as pictured. The renovation and updated furnishings makes this a fresh, pleasant, relaxing space. I really appreciated the little touches like the full-size shampoo/conditioner/shower gel, as well as the liquid hand & dish soaps. The k-cup pods and mac nut treats were appreciated too. The view of Diamond Head is definitely a highlight! We realized that the walls are amazingly soundproofed. There was a group of energetic women in the unit next to us and we frequently heard loud talking and laughing from the hall when entering or leaving our unit, but when inside we couldn't hear a thing! The parking is and additional 47 a day and the elevators don't go directly from garage to resident floors, but once you get used to it, it's ok. We've stayed at several of the other units in this building and this is one of the best overall. Convenient to have ice machine and laundry facilities in the building. Don't skip the Forty-Niner off the lobby for breakfast! It looks unassuming, but the food is very tasty and reasonably priced. Definitely recommend this unit and Midway Vacations. Mahalo!
