My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The room, though with a stunning view overlooking the ocean on the 12th floor, lacked basic amenities like a bathroom counter. Unfortunately, the evening noise levels could be bothersome, exacerbated by an unsettling incident nearby. Nonetheless, the location across from Kuhio Beach was excellent, providing a great escape from the crowd and offering nightly entertainment and delicious food and cocktails. However, the dining experience was marred by a poorly presented cafe downstairs, and the restaurant area was inadequately set up, forcing many guests to settle for poolside lounges. On the bright side, the staff was very friendly and offered various services like car hire and tours, enhancing the overall experience.

The hotel offers a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were super clean, with comfortable beds and really nice pillows, which was great to show my boys on their first day/night in Hawaii. However, there was a loud industrial air con system located in the neighboring building. The hotel overall felt a little dirty, old, and a bit tired.

The hotel is in a great position, ideal for those wanting to enjoy Waikiki's nightlife. The rooms, though in need of a new mattress, were kept spotless every day by Nora, making them quite spacious. The staff's friendliness and helpfulness stood out, and the beach across the road was a nice touch. Watch out for the resort fee, though.

I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed experience. The rooms were much smaller than expected, and the bathroom felt outdated. However, having a TV, PS3, and free DVD rentals was a nice bonus. The location was very good, right across from Waikiki Beach but slightly away from the main shopping areas. Although the dining options were no longer complimentary, the presence of local pastries was a nice touch. Overall, I would caution against booking through this hotel again due to the room size disappointment.

Although the room was smaller than expected based on the online photos, the hotel offered a pretty good experience overall. The view from the hotel was beautiful, and amenities like a couch, TV, PS3, and free DVD rentals added to the stay. However, the cleanliness could be improved, and one of the rooms had an unpleasant odor. Despite these issues, I would still recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Hawaii.

The hotel is perfectly situated at the quieter end of Waikiki, offering a great location for those who appreciate a more laid-back environment. The rooms are a bit small and dated, but the free upgrade to a Junior Suite was a pleasant surprise. However, the presence of animals in the room was an unfortunate recurring issue.
