The hotel is ideally located just one block away from the beach, making it convenient for beach lovers. The rooms, although a bit dated with maintenance issues, offer a queen bed and a cozy sitting area with a couch. The service, highlighted by Leo in luggage service, could be more streamlined for guest convenience. The location is perfect for those who want to be at the heart of Waikiki, albeit with some noise issues. The dining options leave room for improvement, especially regarding breakfast choices. Overall, the hotel presents decent value for money with some areas needing attention.

My stay at the hotel was pretty good overall. The rooms were clean, and I enjoyed a lovely evening meal at the hotel restaurant along with an excellent breakfast in the reception area cafe. The check-in staff was very helpful. However, the room was on the smaller side, and the sea view was not as impressive, more of a view of the parking area. The pool was small and quite old, and the breakfast served in boxes wasn't the best, with the same offerings every day. Additionally, there was no working restaurant on-site, and the parking fees were extremely expensive.

The hotel is a nice choice for a short break, with clean and comfy rooms, friendly staff, and a perfect location for walking everywhere. The breakfast could use some improvement, but at least there are fresh unlimited pancakes. The hotel offers a variety of services, including outstanding breakfast every morning and a room maid who goes the extra mile. The facilities are well-maintained and convenient. However, the dining experience feels more like a cheap motel than a resort hotel.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The location was unbeatable, just a short walk to Waikiki Beach and surrounded by shops and restaurants. The rooms, although not exactly as described on booking, were equipped with convenient amenities for my baby, but the noise from the elevators was bothersome. The service was a bit of a rollercoaster with some staff being informative and friendly, while others seemed indifferent. Dining options were disappointing, but the facilities met basic needs.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel! The room was very comfortable and had a balcony overlooking the beach, which was amazing. However, the room was a bit outdated and felt small for a couple, though it could accommodate extra beds for a family. The service was top-notch with super friendly and helpful staff, especially Ian who assisted us with booking an island tour. The location was superb, just 40 meters from Waikiki beach and close to all the shops. The dining experience was a bit disappointing, but the Teppanyaki fish was delicious. Overall, a great value for money stay with excellent facilities.

Upon arrival at the hotel, I was delighted to find a box of welcoming gourmet cookies and a personalized greeting card in the room. However, the room turned out to be smaller and older than expected, not living up to the upgrade promised by the front desk. I even had to request to see another room, which was inconvenient. Although the price paid was for a mini suite, the room size and quality did not match up to expectations.

The hotel had both its highs and lows during my stay. The rooms were diligently serviced daily by the housekeeping staff, leaving everything restocked and neat. However, the noise at night from staff talking loudly and doors slamming was a bit bothersome. The room itself looked dated and worn, emitting a stale odor that lingered. On the bright side, the service was mostly excellent, especially ShuFen, the room maid on the 18th floor, who was attentive. The location was a major plus, being just a road away from Waikiki Beach, with plenty of dining options within walking distance. Unfortunately, basic necessities were lacking. The dining experience didn't meet expectations, with limited options and some unfriendly service encountered. Overall, the hotel had a mix of positives and negatives that influenced my stay.
