We loved the old Hawaiian ambience and the friendliness, The free use ovv gf the lobby expressi machine between 9-11 am was a big plus. The location was great within 1/2 block from the major thoroughfare. The pool cafe and bar were great.

Great staff, fantastic food and drinks. Also super conveniently located, in a heart of Waikiki, while very fairly priced. Definitely recommend for the price point, as we were pleasantly surprised! Just a few minutes away from the beach.

Good service, valet sucks
The service was good. Stayed here before. The place is a bit worn out but has good rooms. Might need to get updated. The valet person was very rude and spoke to people in a very belittling way. Def not very customer friendly. This is the guy with a tiny spider tattooed on his hand. Night staff and morning front desk staff was very accommodating. Room service people were nice and very helpful when approached. Would stay here again. Prob won’t bring in a car though.

Amazing stay and very comfortable. The staff are very attentive and always available. The bonus is that there is a bar and restaurant right in the middle of the hotel. It has amazing views. Nice and friendly for families with children and pets. Overall, I give it a 8/10 and I’d definitely stay here again.
