Quiet, peaceful area, away from the crowds in Waikiki, easy access to multiple beautiful beaches nearby. It is a bit of a drive to the activities in the Honolulu area, but we enjoyed the drive and had plenty to do near the north shore - and we stayed for a week. The hotel lobby area is currently being renovated (Jan.2024), but they're working around it, and the rooms were all just recently renovated, so it was clean, comfortable, and smelled nice. The staff was fantastic and responsive. Can't go wrong. Our only complaint was the PCC (unrelated to the hotel) was using blowers at 7am on the mornings they are open (everyday except Sunday and Wednesday). Our room faced the pool (and PCC) so we could hear them, but it wasn't obnoxiously loud. I'd guess the rooms facing the ocean didn't have this problem. The good news is, it's an easy walk to the PCC, which we thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend. Would definitely stay there again.
