This really was walkable to Waikiki (good sidewalks/trails, lighting, lots of people) and we did it multiple times. We were glad we stayed here for the calm of it. The park across the street truly is used by the community area, but we saw tourists walking/running all hours of day there too. We stayed in an ocean view premium room. I probably would have upgraded to corner for $30/night given the chance again. The view of Diamond Head was cool for sunrise/sunset from the lanai, and also outside our room door the day/night views of Honolulu were both cool. It wasn't a straight view to the ocean but you could see it enough we enjoyed it. Surprisingly big room. I did not see fridge or microwave on listing when I booked, but we had both. Robes and slippers too. In case you're wondering like I did, the toiletries provided were shampoo, conditioner, body wash, face wipe/makeup remover, cottonball and qtips. Enough towels and they were changed every day. We did use the laundry, it's in a locked room, and saw several other guests using it too, but we did not have to wait. We bought soap from front desk for $1/load. We always were able to get beach chairs and towels. I'd say it's more than 60 steps to the beach but it was close and we didn't have trouble finding spots to sit. It's a small beach though, so not for if you like to go for walks on the beach. There were some visible things that could use freshening up, but I considered it all clean. I would stay here again.
