Awesome place : perfect location next to derussy park: beautiful walk to the beach through florals in park: small local church in park - outdoor tai chi in park locals very welcoming- hotel safe , clean , and served all needs....it is not a high end hotel but it feels like one - great restraint on site for breakfast and lunch - upgraded our rooms with a huge patio roof lanai it was amazing! Walked to bus stops, tour pick up across street , no need for a car, walk to dinner, will be back!!!!

We had a corner suite on the hotel so we had 2 balconies with 2 great views, the beautiful mountains and a park view with a sneak peek of the ocean. We were close enough to the ocean and shopping to be able to walk. We really enjoyed sitting around the pool and dipping in the pool. We met a lot of nice people whom go to this hotel every winter. All were from Canada. The hotel staff were very helpful, including housekeeping.
Next time I would travel in March. February is Hawaii's rainy month. We would return.

This is a great hotel. It's at the start of the strip and next to a park so it's a little quieter which we liked at night. It's about a 15-20 minute walk to the heart of the strip. And the beach is a 5 mins walk south of the hotel through the park. The staff were all nice and friendly and we liked the fruity water in the lobby every day. This part of the beach wasn't as crowded as the main part of the beach with all the big hotels and resorts. We liked having a kitchen which helped to save on time looking for something to eat and on food cost which is expensive in Hawaii. Our room had a two burner stove, coffee maker, toaster, microwave oven which also doubled as a convection oven, mini fridge along with the pots, pans, cooking utensils, plates, cutlery etc. The bus stop was right across the street along with an ABC store and a general store. A little further walk about 5-10 mins is the Food Pantry grocery store which is where we bought our meat and stuff to cook our meals. At the front of the Food Pantry store is some food vendors for take away. Right across the street from the hotel is also the Thrifty car rental and next door is a gas station. So, everything is close by and the advantage of being at the start of the strip is that you avoid all the traffic when you head out to see the rest of the island. We would stay here again. Our room was clean and spacious and had a balcony.

We loved our stay there. The room was very cheery and very large. Also included was a kitchenette - no cooking appliances (no store, no microwave) but a mini fridge and sink we're very helpful. However on the last day we found mini ants on the kitchen counter. They may be difficult to keep away as we were on the second floor. Mostly everything is without walk distance and is pretty conveniently located to the beach. Staff was very helpful. However the parking garage is pretty expensive, although it might be the norm in Waikiki. Internet wifi access was good.
