THINGS TO NOTE (QUIRKS)

✔ Balcony that is perfect for relaxation!
✔ The Ilikai Hotel is more of a hotel style building and was built around the 1970s. This particular unit is relatively upgraded and the building is well-maintained but as most buildings in Waikiki, it does not feel new but certainly upgraded. Personally, coming from Chicago, I noticed buildings in Waikiki felt older as well but I was enamored by the weather, the beach and surroundings.
✔ The building does routine AC maintenance, plumbing (water shut down) and pest control and you'll see notices in the elevator, we will try to remind you too.
✔ There's no dishwasher in this unit (kind of common in Hawaii, weird for a Chicagoan).
✔ Plumbing seems sensitive in the building. We do our best to check but I find that the drains are tricky.
✔ Noise: This unit is on the 12th floor so it's quite high from the street but it is facing Ala Moana Blvd which has traffic and a lot of cars. So you may not hear noise but you may, if you're sensitive.
