Prenota se You want a high-rise Waikiki crash pad with a kitchenette and killer views without the beachfront price tag.
Perché piace così tanto
Kitchenettes in every room save massive money on food
Panoramic views of Diamond Head and the Ala Wai Canal from upper floors
Rooftop sun deck and pool area is surprisingly large and chill
In sintesi: A dated but functional condo-tower that trades modern luxury for killer views and a microwave.
Recensito da @SiMonKillingsworth7745067: I booked this spot for a solo getaway and honestly, the balcony views stole the show. It felt so empowering watching the Honolulu sunset from my room. Plus, being able to walk to amazing sushi and shopping made my trip effortless. Highly recommend for a vibe check.
Cosa hanno detto gli ospiti che hanno soggiornato qui
The hype
Great location and views for the price, but the building feels old and the elevators are slow.
Reality check
You might see a roach. It's a tropical high-rise, and reviews frequently mention 'bugs' or 'cockroaches' despite pest control efforts.
You plan to cook light meals to save cash
You prioritize a balcony with a view over modern furniture
You want to be near the action but not paying $400/night
