    Common facilities are basic.

    Great value for money - this is a good place to stay if you’re after a central location in a walking distance to Waikiki beach and shopping malls. The hotel itself is pretty neat with all required amenities in the room.

    Garage is super super tight In maneuvering up and down the ramps. Unless you have a compact car I advise to use the other garage a block away.

    Nice friendly staff. Convenient walkable location. Renovated clean hotel.

    Walls are thin so we could hear the neighbors talking, but it never bothered us (and hopefully we did not bother them).

    Location so convenient. Staff extremely helpful and nice. Lots of great amenities which made it a good value.

    The bedroom was dim and felt quite gloomy. The bathroom's poor lighting made it challenging to put in my contact lenses.

    I like the location which is walking distance to the Waikiki Beach.

    The bathroom could be lit up more, the vents were a little dirty, and the beds were a little stiff, but they were clean, so it wasn't too bad, just a stiff back. :)

    The staff were great, very helpful when I needed to get somewhere in town. Always, super friendly. Ken was really nice and helpful. I didn't see his name, but he was at the door, wore a mask and helped with direction, and was also super friendly. The maid was super sweet. It was located in an easy to get to everything part of town, we mostly walked everywhere. To the beach, restaurants, shopping, etc.

    The ice machine and microwave were outside our door and sometimes it got a bit noisy with people getting ice etc and chatting.

    We were on the 15th floor and had a good view. The pool and hot tub were great. The hotel was close to the beach, shops and restaurants.

    Bathroom is quite small. Balcony is also small but could be improved through adding small table and chair(s). Pool is non event. Too small and no access to sun.

    The room was a comfortable size. Well appointed and well serviced by the staff. Indoor safe and fridge very well appreciated.

    The room we were in was a bit tired but still clean and very comfortable.

    This is an exceptionally well positioned hotel in Waikiki with a number of shopping destinations and the fabulous Waikiki Beach within walking distance. With a gorgeous under cover swimming and spa area with ample comfortable seating, your decision to stay in will still leave you in paradise. We had a one bedroom with a kitchenette and it was perfect. Whilst the tower we stayed in was tired and overdue a refresh, I couldn't fault the comfort or customer service. With a gym and washer/dryer facilities, this property had everything you could need for a fabulous holiday.

    Our room was not throughly cleaned. After grabbing groceries, we noticed that the fridge had items inside that were from a previous guest. It was quite disgusting!

    Location wise, we loved it! Very easy to commute to the places we wanted to visit.

    I asked to check out 30 minutes late because my work meeting ended late, but the staff was too strict and showed no flexibility by saying, ‘No, we’re fully booked.’ I wish they could have responded with something like, ‘We can spare you 15 minutes, but our housekeepers need to clean up for the next guests.’ That would have been a more understanding response, and I totally get why they needed to enforce the checkout time. I ended up rushing to pack (even though I had anticipated this answer and packed everything beforehand), but where was the hospitality?! By the way, we checked in at 11 p.m. the night before, so I’m glad we only stayed for one night.

    The location is good

    Whilst the hotel has been removated you can see some parts still show there age. I guess this is the same for all hotels along Waikiki as they are probably all around a similar age.

    Pam at the front desk was superb. She was super friendly and helpful and always had a smile when we walked though reception. This lady needs a raise! This hotel is good value for money and the 2 double beds in each room was great for our family with adjoining rooms.

    There was a weird smell of the tap water in the bathroom.

    Staff is very nice and you can easily store your luggage. It was clean and you can easily reach everything within Waikiki by foot.
