The room was very clean and bright, in white and pale grey. Besides the two beds there is a sofa and table by the window.

A bidet toilet

The toilet in our twin room had a bidet seat (a "washlet"). A welcome touch for Japanese travelers. We have not confirmed other room types.

The view from the balcony

It was not an oceanfront room, but from a high floor we could clearly see the ocean between the buildings. One day we even saw a rainbow from the window.

The lobby and the rest of the hotel

The area around the front desk is an open courtyard with lots of chairs and sofas, so it is easy to find somewhere to sit and wait. There are shops inside the hotel where you can buy souvenirs, plus a pool and a gym.

The hotel is on Kalakaua Avenue, but it did not feel noisy at night.

What we liked

Who it suits

Friends or couples looking for a clean, relaxed hotel near the beach. There is a resort fee, so if you want to keep the total down, see resort fees by hotel too.
