    Value for money

I enjoyed staying in a smaller property away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The hotel's location adjacent to Kapiolani Park and San Souci Beach was perfect for relaxation. The staff was friendly and welcoming, always offering assistance whenever needed. The cleanliness of the rooms and the generous amenities provided made my stay comfortable and convenient.

Nothing.

We loved the clean and spacious room with a nice balcony, providing beautiful views of Diamond Head and the ocean. The hotel facilities were excellent, offering a coffee pod machine and free valet parking for rental cars. The location was perfect, as we were just a 15-minute walk away from Waikiki and close to other stunning beaches in sunny Honolulu. The staff was friendly and helpful, and we appreciated the complementary wine and snacks during the late afternoon.

Could not be improved in any way.

We loved the friendly and welcoming staff, who greeted us by name and made us feel at home. The accommodations were great, and we especially enjoyed taking the bikes out for a morning ride. The location was perfect for us, being close enough to all the action but far enough away to avoid noise. The hotel facilities were top-notch, with the option to rent beach chairs and towels for no additional cost. The small beach close to the hotel offered a beautiful sunset, and the park behind the hotel was a lovely place to relax. We also appreciated the complimentary wine at the restaurant on certain days.

Didn't dislike anything about the property.
