We had an amazing stay in Honolulu! The location truly could not be better! Just a 2–4 minute walk to the beach, incredible food spots, and the zoo. It’s so centrally located that everything we wanted to do was within walking distance. Even a local who dropped us off couldn’t stop talking about how great the location was.The unit is inside the Waikiki Grand Hotel (go through the main entrance and they’ll get you situated at the front desk). It appears the hotel rooms were sold as condos, and it worked perfectly for what we needed. We stayed in the queen room and found it to be clean, cute, and very comfortable. The bed was super soft, which made sleeping after long beach days so nice. The shades do let it light so bring an eye cover. The pool was just okay, so we didn’t end up swimming, but that honestly didn’t matter because the beach is right there and everything else was perfect. If you’re looking for a cozy, well-located place in Waikiki that puts you right in the middle of everything at a good price, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again! Water pressure good! Hot water! Very cold ac unit! Clean! Has a fan too.

Spent a lot more time at the beach than at the pool — location was perfect

Good value, a little run down, internet issues reported but never fully fixed. I would stay again but the town is a money pit, and not much Hawaiian feel anymore

The studio was outdated and dirty with broken window blinds (all 3 blinds were broken and inoperable!), peeling paint, mold in the shower, loudest air conditioner ever, cracked countertops, no knobs on cabinet doors and drawers makes for filthy drawers and cabinets! Floors were dirty as well. We were able to check out other rooms that were beautiful and updated. This unit has not been updated since the 80s or 90s. Only the bed was new - thankfully! We contacted the manager of this studio and it took all week for him to offer us a 10% discount. We paid good, hard earned money for this room and 10% is nothing. Taking all week to get back to us is unaccectable. He finally settled on 12% saying it was all he could do. I would not do business with this manager again. His name is Mark Howard.

Good: location, bed was comfortable; A/C was quiet; tenth-floor patio is very nice at sunset. Nice assortment of kitchen appliances. Suboptimal: Curtains inadequate at night (room was lit up by parking lot lights); needs a side table to put stuff; water pressure was marginal for showering; some electrical plugs didn't work. If owner fixes all this stuff, this place would be great.

We actually loved staying at this location. Right next to a Starbucks which was great for our morning routine of having coffee in the park across the street. The ocean just across the other street - we would walk along the sand as the sun came up and the people started to come out. Dennys was a favorite midnight meal as we were off on our hours of being awake/asleep. Would stay here again!

Easy access to everything, I felt very safe. I was able to walk to everything and when my friends came to pick me up the zoo parking lot worked great for a pick up point with easy access off the interstate. I would highly recommend for anyone looking for an affordable place to stay. Don't expect the Hilton but worked perfect for me.
