A little older and signs of her age, but exceptionally clean and cared for. All rooms have an excellent view, especially on Friday night after sun down. PLAN to be on your balcony, with a drink in hand, on Friday evening just after dark. Smaller independent without some of the amenities of the larger surrounding chain hotels, but the stuff they don't have is the stuff you would use anyway, so you wont miss it. I would say this place is best suited to Adults w/o young children. There were plent of families while we were there and ther was NOT a problem, just likely a little harder to keep them entertained. Walls are a little thin and you can annoy neighbors easily if you aren't reasonably conscientious. Our room was perfect for 2. SMALL beach area in front of hotel is a bit busy, but it's Waikiki, and you get a discount for Umbrella and Beach chair rental (highly recommend) Would recommend to a friend, Would do again.
