Best location, Great views!

Desk service was very friendly and helpful. There is a bit of street noise, but not much more than is expected in Waikiki. It was worth it for the view and location. We liked being so close to Diamond Head and the beaches at Kapiolani Park. Great zoo too! This will be our hotel choice for Waikiki from now on.

Quality Hotel

There is one thing I am not happy with; when I told the security guard that my next door made loud noise. He was kind of ignorant of what I was complaining about.

Great location

Overall we had a good experience. Room was a bit small for a family but we just needed a place to sleep at night. Next time I would opt for a suite. Great location if you want to explore Waikiki and also close to public parking if you have visitors. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great location for the money

I thought it was an awesome spot. Right between the beach and the zoo. The hotel room is clean and comfortable even if it is a little old. I just go there to sleep so it was perfectly fine for me. The Japanese restaurant on the first floor was spectacular. I ate there every day trying out different stuff and they usually give you a free appetizer. The only thing that I didn't like is that on weekends, the hotel next door plays very loud music at night. I can hear it loud and clear and I was on the 18th floor. Can't really go to sleep until after 12 am. overall, I am very satisfied.

May 2009

Room was simple, but clean. Would have been uncomfortable with more than one person. Don't recommend using this hotel if you have a car. I was fortunate to use the parking lot across the street and saved the $20.00 a day parking. Also think charging a dollar a day for coffee is a little over the top since hotel amenities are non-existent. Would have been unhappy had I paid more per night than I did. Bed was comfortable. Hotel obviously is used hard and really needs an upgrade.

GREAT LOCATION

I'VE STAYED AT THIS HOTEL IN THE PAST AND LOVE THE LOCATION, IT'S DIRECTLY ACROSS FROM THE OCEAN. OCEAN VIEW ROOMS WITH BALCONY ARE VERY AFFORDABLE FOR WAIKIKI. THE HOTEL IS A LITTLE OLDER, BUT VERY CLEAN. "FRANK," THE ASSIST MGR. GAVE US A VERY PERSONAL WELCOME, AND WAS ABLE UPGRADE OUR ROOM.

Great location, hotel needs update

Inside guest rooms: Walls and counters are beat up. Bathroom was dark and "unfriendly."

A place to sleep, if only the rooms were as nice as the lobby

The location is great! If you are looking for just a cheap place to stay for a few nights, this is it. The bathroom has a lot to be desired. Felt very dirty. None of the electrical outlets worked in the bathroom area We called maintenance everyday for 3 days but it was never fixed. We had one outlet by the bed to charge camera batteries, cell phones, dry or curl your hair - with no mirror, and use the coffee pot. A little inconvenience. The lobby is beautiful - don't let that get your hopes up for the room. We were "upgraded" to a room with the view of the ocean - there was a large air conditioning unit out our window, if you could see above the AC unit, you could see water. I wouldn't want to spend an entire week there - it is not real comfortable, but a few days, if you're looking for cheap, is fine. The person at the desk to help plan excursions was not helpful. Do some reading on your own before you go. The hours that they are available to book things is only during the day, when you are already off doing something else. So plan well in advance. The restaraunt was very good, not overly priced for burgers etc, large portions - easily could've been shared by two - and a nice ocean view. The location again is a great place to catch the buses for trips - only a short walk to the other end of the block. If you are using a cab to get back to the airport, call ahead (the guy in the lobby will make the arrangements for you) they were very late picking us up - almost missed our flight.

Great hotel for the money in great location

We just returned from our stay at the Park Shore Waikiki. I was a bit worried when seeing some of the negative reviews just before leaving, but it worked out fine. Yes, it is true that the rooms are very small, but other hotels typically have similarly small rooms: the width of the hotel rooms are essentially the width of the balconies that you see on exterior photos. However, the room was just fine with good mattresses. We had booked "ocean view" and it was indeed a great view even though it was only on the 6th floor. They initially gave us a room on the 15th floor, but as soon as we entered the room we noticed that they gave us a room with a single kingsize bed instead of a room with two doubles (which we needed because we had our 13-year old son with us) so we got a different room right away. Some of the white paint on the furniture is a bit scuffed off, but apparently they will be renovating their rooms in a year from now (we heard that they had just started doing it now but given the economy, the remodeling was delayed by a year - who can blame them?). I don't mind furniture being scuffed off a bit as long as everything is nice and clean, and it was. The maid was very nice, and we were happy with the staff at the lobby as well. By the way, while it's not advertised on their website, the hotel does provide towels for going to the beach or to the pool - so no need to pack beach towels! Lulu's on the 2nd floor was a great place to have breakfast while enjoying the view of the beach. We also tried it for dinner one evening and enjoyed that as well. The location of the hotel is great - right at the beach with plenty of nice shops and restaurants around.

Location was great!

Across the street from a beach park on Waikiki with no structures to block your view. A park next door in front of the zoo. In the heart of everything, but at the end away from the bigger crowds. Plus a great restaurant and bar, LuLu's overlooking the beach.

Great room for the money

Directly across from Waikiki beach so who could ask for better convenience. Partial oceanview room is well worth the extra money if you're on a budget. Our room was clean and the bed comfortable. Front desk staff could not have been more pleasant and courteous.

Adequate for our needs

The rooms were smaller than we had expected but it was a nice hotel. The rooms were clean and the staff were very kind and accommodating. The location was convenient and easy to find. My real only complaint was that you had to use the valet service if you had a car for an additional fee. It would have been nice to be made aware of that policy before we arrived at the hotel.

Best Place for Low Key Families

We are a family of 8 with all under age 10. Could not have picked a better location. Loved it! Kid safe beach every afternoon and can walk to anything in Waikiki or ride bus with stop in front of hotel. Zoo, aquarium within sight of hotel. Easy local breakfast. Small rooms but we did not go to Hawaii to stay in room...
