This property has three low-rise, walk-up buildings built in 1957 surrounding a courtyard and pool. It’s similar in style to its next door neighbor, the Hawaiian King, which is all condos. Even before the renovations, the courtyard pool area was their star feature and even more so now, with an added gazebo bar/café, cushy lounge chairs and tons of plants. You may even recognize the buildings as they appeared in the recent incarnation of hit TV show, Hawaii Five-0.
Although right in Waikiki, this spot feels comfortably removed from the hustle of the city just yards away–like entering your own little oasis. Rooms are cozy (a nicer way to say pretty-small) and decorated with a minimalist Hawaiiana feel. Kitchenettes simply add two burners to the microwave, coffee maker and fridge in rooms. Lanais either face the pool (preferable) or face the city (noisy). Bathrooms have showers only—no tubs.
A note about parking, there are only eight stalls and when filled, you will have to park off-site. Rooms are 316 sq. ft., rooms with kitchenettes are 316 sq. ft., suites are 480 sq. ft. It’s two long blocks to the beach.
