This is an affordable hotel in a central Waikiki location, booked sight unseen after reading Trip Advisor reviews as a stopover for three nights to break up our journey back to Enzed.

We stayed here one night before going on a cruise. We had a spacious room with a comfortable bed and lots of storage space. We requested a quiet room and that is what we got, on the 6th floor.
