Great room for the money

Our room was surprisingly large, with a full kitchen. It was 3 blocks to the beach, but the neighborhood was nice and the price was very reasonable. The staff very helpful and friendly. When I went back to pick up my luggage out of their check room, they even loaned me a towel and washcloth to "freshen up" prior to my late night flight home.

Great room for the money

great view if you get higher floors,free parking though the spaces are pretty small,spaceous rooms with balconies and full kitchen

A steal of a deal!

If you are looking for the glitz and glamor of a Waikiki beachfront hotel, this is not the place to stay. BUT if you are looking for an exceptional value amidst the high-priced hotels of the Waikiki area, this is the place for you! My husband and I were traveling with our six year old daughter and this place was perfect for our needs. Our room was on the 10th floor in the highest price range rooms. No view of the ocean, but a very pleasant view of the city and the Ala Wai canal. The room was very spacious and had high-speed Internet access. Although the parts that we saw of the hotel were not recently updated, they were extremely well maintained and very, very clean. Our bathroom had a very nice, recent remodel and was immaculately clean when we checked in. We were there for a week so I just wished that our bathroom had an actual scrub down once during our visit. It appeared that all they did was change our towels, make our beds and vacuum while we were there. We rely on kitchenettes when we travel and this one did not disappoint. We didn't have a rental car during our stay, but we did note that there was plenty of parking for guests who needed it. The front desk staff made you feel like you were staying with "local" family. They were always there to greet you as you were coming and going and were very knowledgeable about bus routes, area attractions, etc. The location was prime. Only a about a three block walk to the beach and well within a 15 minute walk of pretty much all the Waikiki attractions such as the zoo and aquarium. In retrospect, we are glad we were a couple blocks away from the hustle and bustle of Kalakaua and Kuhio Aves. as they can be very noisy! The main bus stops are less than a five minute walk away and the Food Pantry grocery store was a few blocks away so we could stock up our kitchenette. Should we return to Waikiki, we will definitely be staying here again! Especially for the price!

needs improvement

I stayed there with my boyfriend. I found the pictures the hotel posted and the virtual tours were misleading to the actual quality of the hotel. The hotel probably hadn't been renovated in a very long time either. I personally wouldn't stay there again for a romantic get away at least.

Good room for the money

Because of the full kitchen in the room, it saved us a lot of money with a family of four for breakfast and making sandwiches for lunch and one night making dinner in the room. The downer was that the air conditioner was a window unit. It never really got really cool, however, when we stay at pricey hotels, we always bump the air way down and it never gets as cool as we want it either, but with a window unit, it just took longer.

Fit the bill for my needs

Stayed here after moving out of my apartment. Was looking for a place with kitchen facilities, but with a decent price and nearby to waikiki so I could enjoy the beach before I left Hawaii. While the colour scheme was a bit too pink for my tastes and the room could have used a bit of maintenance TLC, it was very convenient and quite comfortable. Very quiet and walking distance to all I needed.

Pleasantly surprised

This hotel exceeded my expectations by a mile, the staff was beyond helpful. Free beach towels, free parking, free beach mats... Good advice about attractions. Ok location, close to everything and walking distance to the beach. You cant beat it for the price! would stay here again.
