    Very nice hotel made me and my husband feel very comfortable and welcome

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    We have been travelling to Honolulu to visit family for about 4 years now and always stay here, it’s just what we need. The staff is always super friendly and accommodating, the hotel is always well maintained as well. It feels like a home away from home. They offer laundry services, even dvd rentals for in room movie nights

    The property is about is a walking is about 8 mins walk to the International Market Place. The property was not affected with the power outage when typhoon LaLa hits unlike the more known big hotels by the beach. The price is fair and you get to save more because the room has a microwave, fridge, plates, spoons and forks, etc. The staff especially the front desk are on top of things. Bottom line ......worth it and will be booking it again.

    Unfortunately, there was very little we liked about this property. This was by far the worst accommodation I have ever stayed in. The room was extremely dirty and there was mold in several places, including on the lampshade and underneath the glass table. We even found a clump of hair next to the supposedly clean towels. We asked several times to change rooms, but unfortunately, every room we were shown had similarly serious cleanliness issues. Overall, the hygiene standards were completely unacceptable and the experience was extremely disappointing.

    If you’re looking for a place just to sleep & shower, this is the spot. And also local to most things. Parking is limited which you have to pay for. They don’t provide daily cleaning services, rooms were extremely outdated & you can tell they have not been properly cleaned in a while. Just feels very old and outdated compared to the other properties in Waikīkī. They definitely will charge you for every little thing. You GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR! However the staff were very nice and helpful.

    I am totally disappointed at Expedia for booking this hotel

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    It is well located and good environment

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Had a wonderful experience here. 3 of us with a double and single bed. Check in was super easy and fast. They gave us shell leis. Smaller room but we only stayed one night. Nice balcony. Would have stayed longer but we only needed 1 night due to flight costs were crazy when we went and we saved a lot adding an extra day.

    Great location and view from 12 floor was nice. The room needs some much-needed improvement. Especially the bathroom and shower. Looks like it's still stuck in the 1970. The sofa bed was very worn out and needs to be replaced. View was amazing, the little kitchenette was a bonus. Also, the room is a little small for 3 people. 2 perfect. Great staff

    On checkout day, Kalei was helpful to extend our stay for a limited time because our flight was at 940 pm. The half day fee was taken from our deposit. This made it convenient for us to be comfortable in our room until about 600pm versus checing out at noon for a 940 pm flight. Truly appreciated. The complimentary water dispenser at the lobby is a big help.So useful.

    Great location, just close enough to the beach.

    Room is not clean.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very good

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    I paid a resort fee to have the pool be closed and the cable be out. The night before check out the cable was back on. When we had questions, the older gentlemen that works the front desk during the evening is very dismissive and rude. The elevator kept breaking down putting only one in use. Also there were ants in the room. Definitely an older hotel. The houskeeping was the best part. The young man that works nights was very kind and helpful. This place is definitely a place to sleep and not hangout at.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Room was fine. Was clean and roomy. Only thing I wish was a better shower set up. It was just tough to balance the hot and cold for the shower since it uses 2 sets of knobs for hot and cold. Other than that, great stay and staff!

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    The room was clean and staff was very friendly. I wish they had a coffee bar for the mornings. Instead they had coffee in the room that you can make your own. Which is ok, but not interested in using the bathroom sink water to brew coffee. But other than that the stay was nice.

  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Rooms are very dated, think your grandmother’s wallpaper…literally. Housekeeping seems to do a decent job with what they have, but a seriously deep cleaning is desperately w. Pool was out of order for repairs my entire stay, and one of the two elevators was down part of the time. Staff and lobby and location were all good. My room was on the west side of the building, so very quiet.

    If you must stay in Waikiki this is an ideal spot. Far enough away from the hustle and bustle but close stroll to the beach and everything else. Be aware that there is a resort fee associated that is not included in Expedia so your stay expense will be considerably more regardless. The pool was not working during our stay and we still had to pay the fee. However the staff are very helpful and they did take care of us when needed so no complaints. These fees are pretty much standard anywhere in Waikiki so with that in mind, this was an excellent and recommended stay.
