    would’ve liked larger beds for the cost and less expensive parking

    small but private pool. I really appreciated the patience of the lovely young woman of the staff who checked me in.. as I was tired and struggling to figure out parking etc. I liked the location as well

    The pool steps were quite steep and slippery. My husband fell getting out of the pool and hurt his knee and shoulder.

    tHE ROOm was very nice. It was facing the pool. It was quiet. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The location was near the beach and close to the bus system.

    No compendium in room. No signage for laundry which needed cleaning. No signage for location of ice machine. Calls to office required for all property information. Only one chair on deck which meant if more than one occupant, only one could sit outside.

    Location. Handy to beach, restaurants, shopping, bus stops. Relaxing environment around pool which was cleaned daily.

    Our family had 3 rooms in which none were equipped with a bathtub, the shower was great but I really like a nice bath on vacation. I did not ask ahead of time so partly my fault.

    The front desk personnel were very friendly, professional and efficient. They had beach towels, beach chairs, floaties, and boogie boards that they lent out which I thought was awesome and very accommodating.

    For me, I liked everything. I can see how some people might have taken pictures of ripped wallpaper here and there and maybe some worn carpet. These don’t bother me. Because for me location is everything.

    The location was absolutely perfect. it was only 1500 feet from the beach. But it was also within walking distance of Waikiki Beech in front of Sheridan and Hula Grill where we swam everyday and enjoyed sitting under the palm trees. it was close to the Hilton Village…walkable, close to many restaurants and all kinds of stores large and small. We ate a superb breakfast twice, just around the corner. also around the corner is the bus stop which will take you to historic Honolulu section, to The Naval Air Museums and the shuttle out to the submerged Arizona, From same bus stop you can get to and from the airport. Cost us seniors 1.25 each for bus ride in any direction. it is close to the Trolly Ride Hop on Hop Off. i absolutely loved our location. Staying in Waikiki was fabulous. Oh yes and there is a pretty park just across the way we’d walk through to get to some places It was good value for our money too. Felt totally safe too. Staff was wonderful. They’ve done some reason remodeling. also really liked that it was only 4 floors. We stayed at the top and to the back so we didn’t get a lot of major street traffic sounds

    The water was lukewarm at best. I'm not talking about the pool, but the shower. The fire rated doors were extremely difficult to open or keep open. Coffee in the lobby would have been great.

    The staff was friendly and helpful. The room rate was affordable for the location.

    The pool is a little small, but it is still very nice.

    The staff is very friendly and the rooms are very clean. The hotel has a great location in Waikiki just steps from Fort DeRussy Beach. I compared rates and this hotel is one of the better bargains in Hawaii.

    The first room we stayed had very few outlets for myself and two friends. Also the rollout bed was fine, but I wasn't told over the phone that it was going to be an extra $30 a night. Might have made a different booking if we knew.

    The location was great, close to the beach and perfectly situated at the beginning of the shopping areas. Also personally great for the wedding dinner beforehand

    • Family Suite
    • Stayed 5 nights

    The room is a 2 bedroom suite however, the keycard entry only worked on one door suite A and not suite B so we were constantly interrupting the baby and couple in the other room for access to our room. This does not help with privacy. If the 2 bedroom suite had a shared living room and only one entry this would be different, but that is not the case here. Parking can be a bit tricky, but street (metered) parking is free for overnight from 10pm to 6am and if you park around the corner at the Post Office that is the most convenient for day use and makes coming and going easy.

    The staff was extremely pleasant.
