Great Location and Awesome Island View

We loved the property, its location, and from the 34th floor, the spectacular view towards the mountains and town. Everything was clean and as advertised. Carpet, kitchen, and bathroom could probably stand to be updated sometime soon. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!

The photos do not do the place justice, great location very easy check in and check out place was exceptionally clean do not have a complaint in the world only complements. We will absolutely stay here again the next time we need a smaller place in Honolulu (I don’t mean to imply the place is small but often 10 to 15 of us vacation together) with Hope, Health & Happiness 😊

Great location

Overall it was a nice place to stay in the heart of Waikiki, just few blocks from the beach. All the information provided by Midway was very helpful and made the check-in process and the stay enjoyable. My only negative points would be the sofa and the chair were disgusting, the bed in the sofa was so uncomfortable that we could not use it, and the kitchen lacked utensils (only 3 forks), glassware, etc.

We thank you for taking the time to review our property and give your feedback about your experience. Our apologies regarding anything that was uncomfortable encountered during your stay. Our agents are reachable 24hrs specially when guests have any issues, requests or even a heads up in case something is missing. We have property managers and handyman available during business hours as well. The sofa couch is only 2 years old that is in this fully renovated apartment. Usually mattress in this type of sleeping arrangement is not comparable to a regular bed mattress, and we understand people have different taste of level of firmness. Despite of that, we are glad that you enjoyed your time staying at this apartment. Much Aloha!

Perfect Waikiki location!

This unit is exactly as advertised. It was very clean and comfortable. The building is older but for the closeness to walking around Waikiki you can't beat the price. The views are amazing especially at night. Down side to being on the 34th floor is it is very windy out on the lanai. We just stayed here for a few day before continuing to Maui. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location

Property was will equipped for our family’s needs. Perfect location to walk to the beach, restaurants and shopping. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils, dishes, etc. Only issue was a sticky patio door that took some finessing to open. Pool area is older but with the beach so close, we never even thought to use it. Bright open space with great views.

Great location and clean space

We stayed here 3 nights. The location is a few minute walk from the beach, restaurants, and shops. The space was clean and well stocked with kitchenware. The sliding door between the bedroom and living space was a huge bonus when putting little kids to bed! My only suggestion for improvement would be better curtains. The ones there let city light in all night, making restful sleep difficult.

Lovely

Accurate to the description. The location was awesome...minutes away from the beach and main strip. The crib wasn't included with the place, however, for a small fee of $q 15, the host ensured there was a crib, with sheets, ready and waiting for us when we arrived. Overall the communication with the host, the location and the place itself was definitely worth 5stars. Thank you and I will definitely book this place again

Great stay

The accomodation has been great. It’s very convenient in location to the beach and buses. We didn’t use the pool as this was not what we were after and headed to the beach most days so can’t really comment on the complex facilities. The apartment suited our needs, the amenities were good, the hairdryer, toaster, oven and the car park were good and the uninterrupted mountain view was lovely. Our only recommendation is if the room had a full length mirror and a clothes hanger. Thanks again - Mohalo!

CLEAN AND UPDATED

Check in/out was flawless which is all done remotely. So easy!! Unit was very clean, has amazing views of the mountains/city from big windows in the living room and bedroom. Kitchen was well stocked and having a dishwasher was such a bonus. A few things to be aware of: the sofa sleeper is not very comfortable, the window coverings are thin and lets the sun in, so as the sun rises, so will you! Overall, I would stay here again for sure.

Beautiful, clean condo in a great location

We decided to stay one night in Honolulu, prior to flying out the next morning, and this was perfect for that. We had a little snag getting into the condo, but with a quick call, someone was out in 10 minutes to help us in. The parking situation was a bit complicated, and I would've chosen to not park a car while there, as most everything is walkable. The condo itself had a beautiful view of the valley, and was all updated and super clean. The bedroom itself was a bit tight with both beds, but doable. Overall, a great stay!

Perfect location!

There were 5 of us, 3 teens and 2 adults. I was worried that there wouldn’t be enough space, but it worked just fine. The view from the 34th floor was spectacular. The location is within walking distance from the beach, shops, restaurants. You can’t go wrong. Beach towels, beach chairs in the room are nice. We did a stock up of food at a Walmart and saved tons of money using the full kitchen. A little cafe and mini mart just down stairs was convenient. Would stay again to use the rec area, pool and sauna there.

Nice but the sofa sheets

Nice location and property. The only complaint I have is that the sheets on the hideaway sofa bed were dirty and smelt of a strange mans body oder. The hotel would not swap sheets with us. We had to divide the bedsheets of the beds for the sofa bed. Everything else was very nice.. Great view, the mountain scenery is much developed now. I would book it again. Please do not forget to wash the sheets on the sofa bed though.

Nice enough

The property was a bit older than we expected based on the pictures but overall it was nice enough, great view, and close proximity to Waikiki Beach and shops, etc. Check in was easy. The microwave stopped working while we were there and management sent someone to look at it and then brought us a temp to use for the remainder of the stay.

The apartment was good, great location, pretty much what is the description is what you get. Only issue is that a smell of sewer in the Bathroom and kitchen was pretty annoying, sometimes the smell would be strong enough at night to wake up a couple of us from the group.
