Best: Lanai views of park life, Hula's, fun to watch passerby and Zoo activity, close to Kaimaina Beach - Best in Waikiki.
Worst: Gay beach gone, Hawaii people uptight & unfriendly at times. Not all appreciate luxuries or implications of staying above the bar. Hula's is definitely not Gay anymore.
Double window lanai great, curtain window hems torn, coffee pot sucked, deck awesome! Clean, close to ABC and everything once precious in Waikiki. Hula's hijacked by inclusive straight couples, a sellout that's sad implicating it's no longer a Gay bar but instead a hotel bar: but forgivable. Fabulous plaster walls from 1963 great for anything. Did not miss maid service! Privacy and access are top shelf! HI has virtually no garbage cans. Be very careful walking around Waikiki, views of crosswalks reveal horrible drivers with no pedestrian acknowledgement. Waikiki is now dead by Midnight. Area definitely very expensive. Toilet initially broken by quickly fixed by staff. Check-in not as described.
If single and Gay perfect proximity to all, nothing fancy and a little rough around the edges but overall an excellent value and unbeatable location.
