We are locatedright in the heart of Waikiki - which has a nighttime recreational lifestyle. It is indeed an active city area and as with any city setting you may notice some ambient city sounds at night—something many guests enjoy as part of the Waikiki experience, though it’s worth noting for those who prefer very quiet surroundings.
The unit is equipped with a window-type air conditioner to keep the space cool and comfortable. The AC does produce some operating sound, and guests who are especially sensitive to noise may want to keep this in mind.

PLEASE READ CAREFULLY Parking situation/Renting a car:
To make your stay easier, we recommend NOT renting a car in advance, and only renting one on the days you wish to explore outside of Honolulu. Waikiki is extremely walkable, and many guests find they do not need a car during their stay. Rideshare services, buses, bikes, scooters, and trolleys are all easily accessible nearby.

As a privately owned unit, we are not part of the Aqua Hotel. We can NOT guarantee parking, and the hotel does NOT reserve parking spaces for private unit guests.
At 4PM, visit the front desk for a nightly parking pass ($45), subject to availability. The pass expires at 12 noon on the next day, and you will need to remove your car. The next cycle begins when you visit the front desk at 4PM again to get a parking pass subject to new availability of the new night. You may not reserve parking passes for multiple days in advance; it has to be checked and purchased daily.
You may be able to find free street parking alongside Ala Wai Boulevard. However, this can be challenging depending on the time you arrive as everyone is competing for free parking.
