If you are only interested in running around in Honolulu and not concerned about your room, you will probably like the location of this hotel. You are just a few blocks from the International Market and Waikiki beach.
If you want a clean room with friendly customer service, I advise you to consider another hotel. We were appalled at the filthy, broken down furniture, rag-tag bed spreads, windows that leaked and howled, etc. The rooms were very tiny and cramped. The carpets should have been replaced 10 years ago. The bathroom was a maze of caulking, but it leaked everywhere anyway. The elevators stuck half the time. The front desk personnel was rude and unhelpful; however the lady who helped with dinner directions was polite and helpful.
We had ocean view rooms, which meant we could lean out over our lanai and see some of the ocean; otherwise, we could see the ocean from our tiny, cramped, smelly bedrooms - of course, the windows in the bedrooms would not open. We could see Diamond Head clearly from our lanai. I will never stay at this hotel again.
