We are located right 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.
