Situated on the oceanfront near Waikiki's eastern border, this moderately priced hotel is across one street from Honolulu's enormous Kapiolani Park with a zoo and aquarium and across another street from a family-friendly beach park.
Most guestrooms were renovated in 2002, and now feature a contemporary decor motif and wicker balcony furniture. All rooms have a balcony or patio, high-speed Internet access, and a convenient refrigerator.
On the third floor, a two-level terrace provides a pool, expansive sunning areas, and unsurpassed views of Diamond Head mountain standing guard over Waikiki. The hotel's stores and restaurants include a Starbucks coffee shop.
