The room was located in a great place next to the beach in Waikiki. The only downside was no blackout curtains, so the city lights kept the entire room very bright overnight

This suite was far better than we excpected! The staff was friendly and was nice enough to store our bagse before check-in and after the checkout, and let us check-in a bit earlier. The suite itself was nice, big kitchen and just a bigger suite in general for what we're used to. The view from the terrace in front of the room was absolutely amazing! Worth every penny!

This was our second stay here we had a great experience the first time but after this stay we have vowed never again. The location is wonderful but that is about it. The room wasn't the cleanest the bedspread was gross not sure if that was even washed recently and since you only get clean towels every other day you have to use the same washcloth for two days. We even looked at moving to another hotel in the area for our stay. The room was not even close to what is being depicted online.

Not Grand

This is the worst hotel i can remember staying in in the past 30 years. The rooms did not match the pictures on the webpages. There was mold in the showers The rooms were furnished with second hand furniture. The swimming pool was too dirty for swimming. And there is no room cleaning service. The only positive was the proximity to the beach.

Won’t go again

Our room was small. Bed was old and sagging in the center which made it difficult to sleep. The rest of the room was slightly dirty and outdated. Had the room been cleaner I would have slept in the tile floor instead of the bed that folded like a taco!

The room was small but liked that it was filled with all the essentials like scuba gear, boogie board, books and stuff for the beach. Didnt like that they wanted to charge a cleaning fee of almost $300 upon check in for a room that noone cleaned until after we left. We negotiated it and got it reduced. Had to go to another room for clean towels and stuff for the bathroom. Weird. They should bring it.

Confusion on checkin

We were not aware Castle Grand was not the main hotel but separate company with rooms in the hotel. Because checkin was an actual Room and not a lobby desk seemed sketchy.
