Really good value of the hotel. The only noticeably negative aspect is the building itself: it's not particularly new or shiny and the rooms are not all spotless marble, but they are okay and many many positive aspects of the hotel make up for it.
1. Great location: very close to Waikiki beach and a short walk to all the restaurants in the area.
2. Hotel provides all the beach accessories at no charge: towels, umbrellas, chairs, mats, boogie boards. This is super useful because one can pick up all this on the way to the beach from the lobby area and conveniently drop it off on the way back.
3. Lobby area is well equipped with comfy chairs, couches, books, board games and a few computers for guests to use. The same general area is used for breakfast in the morning.
4. Breakfast is free and available 7am-9:30am every day. A selection of pastries and hard boiled eggs on one side balanced by multitude of sliced fruits on the other makes for a refreshing selection which supercedes most hotels of similar class I have stayed in: strawberry, melon, pineapple, cantaloupe, papaya, and orange slices. Good quality tea and coffee are also available during breakfast and throughout the day.
5. Valet is reasonable, although have to wait a few minutes usually. The tablet in the room can be used to request the car to be ready downstairs.
6. Tablet is also extremely convenient for ordering pretty much anything else: from room cleaning to toiletries.
Overall, not luxurious, but an absolute gem for the practical traveler.
