We needed a hotel-like stay. I was torn between the amenities of a hotel vs. the benefits of a condo.
- Hotel: you'll have more plush/plentiful linens, from towels to bedding. At the condo, we were conservative with our usage and made the "5 towels for 4 people for 4 nights" work. Note: The 2 beds have a thin coverlette on them, but extra blankets were supplied upon request. Sheets for pullout bed were supplied but we needed a blanket, and received it the next day. (Responsive mgt.)
- At brand hotels, I never have to worry about the mattress. This condo had new, firm (good in my opinion),quality mattresses. I'm always nervous about the pullout mattress, but THIS IS THE NEW, SOLID type. No sagging/poking springs!
- The view. This was just a crash pad for us so we didn't mind just having a peek at the ocean and Diamond Head. Pro: Lots of natural light.
- The kitchen! For around the price of a hotel, you get a lovely kitchen. We didn't choose to cook in it, but it had everything we needed for breakfasts/coffee/tea and reheating.
- Shower. A solid/decent shower with good water pressure. A few starter amenities are provided.
- Free parking space. That's a ~$25 value each day.
- We were too busy to tend laundry at the "floor W/D."
- One side of curtain rod broke off ceiling, but was fixed next day.
- No noise from elevator.
- Central AC but vents are up high and blow on your head in BR.
For this class/tier of stay, this unit gets 5 stars. Hope that helps you decide!
