We decided to stay an extra day at Waikiki Beach so this hotel was the one we selected. We were in a suite so the room was much smaller and the view was not as nice. We enjoyed friendly service at check-in. The room offers energy saving so you must insert your room key into slot in order to make... More

My husband and I stayed at this hotel for a full 7 nights on our honeymoon. We were very impressed! Very cute, very clean, and very nice staff! We were very kindly upgraded to their biggest room because we had a lot of trouble with the wifi in our room. We didn't even have to ask, they just offered! I... More

This hotel was close to most of shopping, restaurant and most of all our needs. Clean, simple and we enjoyed staying this place. It is not most gorgeous hotel that sit in patio or terrace to enjoy ocean view but if you want to go beach, people are walking there from this hotel and you can save $$$. We liked... More

The location was a managable walk to the beach, but not close. The room was nice, but small. Staff was very friendly, but did give me incorrect directions to Trade Center. Breakfast was only the basics, bagels and muffins.

Aloha, Thank you for your review. I am glad that our staff was available to assist you with your questions but sorry to hear that there must have been a miscommunication upon explaining the directions. In order to aid our guests in getting to their destinations, we have walking maps of Waikiki available at the front desk. Thank you again.... More

Three blocks down from Waikiki Beach in a good location, a recently renovated former Best Western, fun and whimsical decor, valet service, friendly and helpful staff--all that is great. But....the rooms and bathrooms are TINY (even by European standards); the in-window air conditioners are so close to the bed that they blow right on you from 3 feet away and... More
