The owner was pleasant, helpful and available to answer questions. This condo is a bit shop worn but clean and comfortable with a good location. The food trucks across the street were fun and it is walkable to some restaurant and retail areas. Public buses are easily accessible if you don’t have a car. Compared to area hotels, this was a good value for two couples!

The host was friendly and attentive. They responded immediately to any request we had and accommodated where they could not address during our time. The unit is dated but still comfy. There is limited bath towels but there is in-unit W/D so you can easily wash them. They provide an ice chest, body boards, sand toys, beach towels, and 2 beach chairs. The grills by pool are clean. Our family enjoyed grilling and hanging out around the pool. There are 2 hot tubs but one1 did not work so it forced us to make new friends while sharing a tight space in the other hot tub lol ... I did enjoy getting to meet new people. We did see any bugs at all in our unit. There are double sinks in bathrooms, 1 full shower, and 1 bathtub with shower. The master bathroom door is a folding door so you don't get full privacy (especially if you have stinky bathroom users). Living room has one futon that would fit a kid or shorter adult. One bedroom has a california king bed and 1 twin bed. The masters has a king bed and 1 twin bed. It comfortably fit 6 of us. The unit also has the living room futon, and 1 foldable twin mat. Elevators are tricky at first. Check the floor numbers on top of elevators to determine which one will actually go up to your floor. Also, a few of the elevators DO require a key card to push the elevator floor number while some does not require it. Bring your key! Minivan fits fine in hotel ramp. Breakfast place in lobby is pricey but very GOOD! Love food trucks across the street

The place is a little outdated but that’s most places in Hawaii in my opinion but the view was STUNNING ! any room you go it is breathtaking . Kitchen are fully stocked with anything you’ll need , definitely could have used more trash bags especially it was 4 adults but not a big deal lol The location is close to everything town side . Parking is $40 cash only which is normal for Waikiki side . We miss it already and We will definitely be staying here again and definitely recommend!

We stayed here for a conference with colleagues. Since it’s on the top floor, the elevators take forever (once it took 30 min). There are three elevators but one was apparently always down (per residents we talked with) and they were always shutting down one of the other two for maintenance. It was nice having two bedrooms and two bathrooms and the views were nice. AC was also a bonus although it’s either on or off (bring warm clothes). However the living room furniture is awfully uncomfortable. During our stay, the water was shut down for almost 6 hours one day. We say signs about it on the day of our arrival. We asked security about this and they said there’s a planned shut down once a month (nothing new). When we asked the host about this, they were not open to discussing the impact. We were there for a conference and couldn’t shower before work… it was very frustrating to be lied to and also not have been told up front that we won’t have water access during the stay. For this reason alone, we would not stay here again.

Location is great. 15 minutes to wikiki beach. Building is dated and hasnt gone through any upgrades or renovations in recent years. The things provided (shampoo, 1 bar of soap, no tissue, etc.) Have a very motel feel. Roku for streaming services was nice for kids.

The location definitely makes this a good place to stay. The only slight negative, which is more the actual building and not the condo is the elevators are slow and one was not working (you could only use 2 to go to the penthouse suite). The condo had everything we needed and the owners were quick to respond to a leg that was broken on the sofa when we arrived. It is two master suites, but the second room is better suited for a children's room or unrelated travelers. The view was fabulous and you can walk to everything. I wish I had trusted my gut and not booked a rental car. Parking is $40 per day and traffic was so bad, we only drove once while we were there. If we are ever back in Waikiki, we would stay again.

My family had a wonderful time here. The penthouse was beautiful and the view was breathtaking! The only complaint we had was the long wait for the elevator and sometimes it’s so packed that we had to wait for another one and it’s another long wait. Other than that, the home was beautiful and we had an fantastic time.

The check-in process was super simple and easy to follow. The property is older, but it is very clean and comfortable. The views out the widows are beautiful and if there on a Friday night, the fireworks are visible from the dining windows or one of the bedrooms. Plenty of space for 4 adults and there would be space for more adults/children easily with the extra beds. Very happy to have stayed here and if back in Honolulu, we would stay here again. We chose to just utilize TheBus since parking was $35/day. TheBus was easy to use via Google Maps.

Great urban location within a reasonable walking distance to beautiful Wakiki Beach. It’s not on the beach mind you so check the walk time to suit you. We were all over the island, so not a major concern to us. Great food available at reasonable prices next door. Parking garage available next door except for taller rides so check. I parked my lifted rental in a parking lot a short walk nearby and paid the monthly rate which worked out about the same as the daily rate next door. Views are super from this 40th floor property. Super air conditioner, nice pool, and community gas grills which we used. Only cons were clogged tub and sink drains which were not fixed by management. Was able to snake the tub to clear myself. (Left the hair snake.). Sinks needed a plumber or possibly some drano on their slow drain, so no luck there. . No musty smell except on initial entry likely after ac being shut down a minute between guests. (Not an issue at all with us. Saw some prior posts on the issue.) Could use a little TLC, but we loved our stay and would stay here again but bring some drano!

Check-in was easy. Kitchen was well stocked and furnishing/beds were comfortable. The view on the 42nd floor was awesome. Washer/dryer works fine but keep the washer door open to air out after use or the moisture doesn’t evaporate. You can store your luggage at the security office for $5/ piece after check-out if you want to grab lunch before heading to the airport.

Excellent people to deal with, very responsive. The VIEW IS AMAZING in all directions, day and night!! Location was awesome too, just minutes from everything in Waikiki. The two large bedrooms can accommodate more people than advertised especially if you have young children to share the 2 large beds and more if anyone sleeps in the living room. 5 of us did great with the 4 comfortable beds. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is because the apartment and the building as a whole is old and dated. The apt is still very clean and well stocked. Parking cost is a KILLER. Be ready to pay $35 every 24hrs no matter what ($40 the first night). Their policy is to charge for the entire day if you are over by 1 minute. Be prepared to find parking outside if you drive in after 10 pm EVERY night. Nice people at the gate though. There is no special rate for showing the key card however. That is incorrect in the property posting. Considering the impossible parking situation in the neighborhood I was very glad to have a parking garage right there. I would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The apartment, a corner suite on the 42nd floor, has a 180 degree view of Waikiki and downtown Honolulu. The rooms are spacious, with mirrors to make the rooms look even larger. The beach at Waikiki is an easy walk from the suite. A pictorial instruction book made introduction to the unit easier. The kitchen was well-appointed, with all necessary cooking and eating items, and a large refrigerator. A 7-11 store is less than a block away, and a proper supermarket is a few blocks away. The shower with glass blocks in the master bedroom was extremely popular. All our party wanted to use it. Possible areas for improvement: o The washer was smelly and the door was covered with mold, making it unusable. It needs to be part of the cleaning operation to prepare for guests, who should be instructed to leave the door open after use. o Wifi was unavailable during the entire stay. On inspection, we discovered that the couch in front of the wall connection had been pushed back so hard that it either broke the cable from the modem, or the wall connector (or both). We phoned support, who sent a tech out, but he was unable to fix it. We suggest that either a shield be added around the connector, or that a different couch be placed there.

We enjoyed our stay. Note when booking: water turned off every second Tuesday from 12 to 3. Parking is 35.00 per day, but if you leave 5 minutes too late, it’s another 35.00. But the accommodations are nice. Great views. We had a good time.
