The hotel came highly recommended to us as a quiet, peaceful environment away from the noisy beach front, which it indeed was. Our stay was all that we had hoped for. The staff was friendly and accommodating. The parking structure was under renovation but the parking staff went out of their way to provide a workable situation. The hotel is located on a main Waikiki boulevard, which makes it easy to reach and find while sightseeing and navigating through Waikiki by car. A city trolley passes right outside the front door. The beach is only a short block away with a wide array of shopping and dining locations. The International Market Place and all of its bargains are within walking distance. The tenth floor pool, Jacuzzi and bar made for a great relaxing way to end a long day (highly recommended). The concierge was knowledgeable and arranged a great circle island tour for us. I also noticed airline crews checking-in, which re-affirmed my hope of a peaceful hotel.
