After an extremely thorough search this was my #1 choice & it was perfect: well-priced, exceptionally clean property & rooms, exceptional housekeepers, amazing pool, 24-hr. front desk, hotel centrally located in a busy & safe part of town. 10-minute walk to Waikiki beach & Denny's for a hearty breakfast which you'll need (tell Mgr. Eric a 49ers fan sent you). You'll pay $20+tax/day at check-in for use of pool & pool towels but you'll be glad you did.

The hotel is conveniently located in the middle of the Waikiki hustle and bustle. Lots of shopping and dining options plus centrally located for excursion pick up/drop offs. The only con I have is regarding the offsite parking that requires a walk around the block. That gets hectic when you’re arriving/departing with all your suitcases.

The room was so cold we had to ask for extra blankets. The balcony was super noisy due to the heavy traffic. My biggest con was only one chair in the room.

We enjoyed our stay here. We came with two other families. The staff were kind and accommodating. Some things in the room were outdated/not working (kettle and tv) but we were fine with that. It was such at a convenient location. Our baby snd toddler loved the pool. Will be returning. Mahalo 🌸

Excellent location, across ABC store. Waikiki trolley main terminal is only 2blocks walk. The hotel is along the strip, 5min walk from the beach. The hotel is carpeted. Didn’t expect that on a hot weather. There’s a pool but a bit small. Theres No gym, We stayed in a kitchenette room but didn’t use it there’s so much restaurants to choose from outside. We had to check out late and got charged extra $50. Aso there’s a resort fee of $20/night Otherwise, overall stay is good. AC is blasting and our room is facing the strip so even if u got tired from walking around and just want to chill at the hotel, just go on the balcony and ur not going to get bored
