We recently stayed in a 2 bedroom/full kitchen suite on 16th floor with a spectacular view of Diamond Head and partial or obstructed view of the ocean. The rooms were clean on our arrival. The kitchen was fully equipped with all the cooking and washing utensils needed. Some of the front desk staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downsides were, a towel railing or hook was missing, the blind in the bathroom needed replacing as some of the slats were broken or bent and this made it somewhat awkward if the men were working outside the window and you needed to use the toilet. The location was ideal for us. Close to tour bus pickup points, just a 5 minute walk to the beach and 10 minute walk to the closest supermarket (not including the 82 ABC stores). Also, it was just the right distance from the main drag of Waikiki to opt for a quiet night in the room away from the hussle bussle of constant traffic and people, or to enjoy a good walk to be amongst the laid back and at times busy lifestyle that has to offer. All in all, our family enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would recommend it highly.

First, there is construction going on and the balconies are inaccessible. The rooms are tired and desperately need updated. The location is three or four blocks from the beach. The only bright spot was the very nice lady at checkin.

This hotel/condo building is 3 blocks from the beach and there are many restaurants and shops within a short distance. The building itself is clean enough but dated not especially attractive.
The rooms are clean and spacious, beds are comfortable enough, and there is a kitchen which I could see being very useful. There is a pool and tennis courts and a sunbathing deck.
There is exterior construction going on until Sept 2012 which I was informed of three days before I was set to arrive. It did not impact us as it does not happen on weekends. All in all the place is "just ok". Clean, family oriented, convenient. However, the $10.00 daily mandatory resort fee for services which we had no use for is absolutely unacceptable, dishonest and is nothing but a way to gouge customers. This is my first experience with these fees and i have since learned that customers must speak up about these charges if hotels are ever to stop this practice. I did complain at the desk which was useless. The fees are disingenuous and anti- Aloha.

We stayed for 6 nights in this condo-like hotel and it worked out great for us. Having a kitchen made it easier to get going in the morning because we didn't have to go out for breakfast every day. Also, we were able to bring home leftovers from other meals and heat them up later. We heard the jack hammers, but most of the time we were not in the hotel during the day since there was so much to see on Oahu. There was signage explaining the work being done on the exterior of the building. The hotel rooms were remodeled recently too. The employees were great!
