The location of this rental is awesome! It’s at the tourist-end of Waikiki and right around the corner from the main drag. There are restaurants and shops all around, so anything you’ve forgotten or want to buy is available.
The room is small, as described. We had two large suitcases and it made the room cramped. Good news, though… we weren’t in Hawaii to hang out in our room! The small area for hanging clothes was really helpful. The bathroom is due for a serious update - the bathtub and curtain were a little dirty. The walls are soooo stained, we thought the room had mold in the walls. The room has a window AC unit, which is only fantastic because it drowns out just a hint of the noise coming from Hula’s. We knew the room was close to the bar and expected some noise; the listing advises that you can get cocktails until 2am; what it doesn’t advise is that the patrons from the bar will be in the hallway, talking loudly and/or yelling from about 11:30pm to 2:30am. It’s like when the party ends inside the bar, it makes its way to the hallway. Since the room is directly across from the bar entrance (and when I say directly, I’m talking a mere 20+ steps), it’s extremely disruptive when you’re hoping for a good nights sleep. Just be aware of this, so if you’re looking for a quiet spot to end your evening, this is not it.
The host host was very quick to respond when we reached out.
The parking garage is steep to enter and exit, but great to have a safe and secure (gated) parking option if you’re renting a car (rent a car!! There’s so much island to see outside of Waikiki!!). The location of the hotel is in a busy area and the parking garage kept us from driving around all night looking for a spot. It’s also assigned parking, so no matter what time you return, your spot awaits you!
The view from the 10th floor was awesome! The front desk staff was kind and courteous. All in all, a great spot for Waikiki.
