    There was nothing I didn't like.

    The location was terrific, just down from the beach and close to the action, but not noisy, so a great compromise. The staff were terrific, very helpful and happy to provide options and help whenever requested.

    Parking is 40 dollars a night but multiple entries with great valet service. No swimming pool or bar. It felt slightly expensive for 1000 aud for 3 nights!

    Great location, close to the beach. Service was amazing!

    The room is quite small and the aircon in our room wasn't cold enough. We reported this to the staff there, they fixed it and it was cold for a while, then it got hot again. Maybe it is due for maintenance already.

    Loved that they have water dispensers at the lobby and free coffee and tea available all day. The breakfast is also good. The location is nice, just 3-5 mins walk to the Kuhio Beach, near restaurants, bus stops, stores, souvenir shops, and grocery. The room is okay, although a bit small. All the staff were nice and accommodating, especially Sir Arnel. I will recommend this to friends.

    Could be a bit cleaner. The lobby where coffee and buffet breakfast is served gets very crowded and at times there is no place to sit.

    We would stay here again and recommend it to friends and family. Overall good value, nice and helpful staff. The valet staff, Richard, Arnel and Jesus were especially helpful. The positives outweigh the negatives.

    The room could have used a lot more storage...drawers in which to put things. We found ourselves having to go to the suitcase because there were not enough drawers. The shower was awful. The head needs to be replaced. Also, we were out almost all day and our room wasn't cleaned.

    We liked the location. Near to the beach and the "action", but not in the middle of it. We liked the free breakfast as well.

    Walking space between bed and wall, location of air unit. At night visiting the rest room, gave you a cold chill since you had to wiggle, wiggle in front of it.

    It was in a good location to other families visiting for a wedding. Saved money compared to the others. The beach was a stones throw away, great for walking on the main strip two streets away. The staff is very, very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was enough and always filling.

    Breakfast was limited and rooms are quite dated (super small washrooms)

    Location was very close to the beach , shops and restaurants. Highlight was renting out the go pro with which we were able to capture amazing vidoes (you have to get your own memory card). Plus access to beach equipment was a great benefit

    The breakfast was okay - left a little to be desired, but it was ideal to have something to grab and go.

    Great location - centrally located, easy to get to a lot of spots on foot and very close to Waikiki beach. The beach gear, towels, etc. that is included is a huge help. The staff gave us an upgrade and a lovely welcome box of chocolates for our honeymoon. Highly recommend this hotel.
