The room was a little more compact than what the online photos depicted, however it was okay for the three of us. The bathroom was too small though. The elevators were extremely slow. The buffet was nice, as well as the pool and other outdoor activities provided. The staff was friendly and the hotel was well kept. It was fairly priced. It was also a few minutes walk from the beach, shopoing and some excellent food trucks! I would recommend it to other travelers.

Pros: Hotel was clean, and had lots of amenities. The breakfast had good choices and the staff were friendly and great to deal with.

Cons: The rooms were really small and not much room to move around in. The hotel was at the end of the waikiki area and that side was a little shady walking back to the hotel at night.

Overall, it is a good hotel. But the room was EXTREMELY TINY. CLAUSTROPHOBIC TINY for a family of four, who reserved two beds. It was very difficult to have space for our luggage and comfortably walk around, eat food, ect. It is not what i expected from the pictures. It was a-lot smaller than pictured. The bathroom as well.

The location is quite nice with walking distance to the Waikiki beach and prime shopping locations. A small food truck park was 2 mins walk from the hotel giving a nice sampler of the variety of local cuisines. The hotel's breakfast spread was pretty decent for a buffet. The staff was quite nice and helpful.

One point to nitpick would be that they need all elevators working during peak rush hours which wasn't the case with us leading to long wait time. They should perhaps replace them with faster ones.

Hotel is outdated. Room felt muggy and bed felt wet. Elevators are slow and unpredictable. Parking is terrible. Not enough spaces for all guests. One night we came back around 10pm. No open spots so we had to drive 4 blocks to park at another garage. Because of the stress of not finding a spot, the other nights we were out we had to make sure to be back at least by 7pm to guarantee a spot. Plus side, hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. Besides that overall experience is a 3 out of 10.

Location, breakfast and staff was great. The air conditioning was fairly noisy and one elevator seemed to go down frequently which meant 2 elevators for about 20 floors worth of people. If you rent an oversized van for a large family it will not fit in parking garage and so the open parking is a bit of a hike and it’s a little pricey.

One front desk woman was very rude when we checked out. She wanted to charge parking for the whole week. We only parked in the hotel parking for 3 days. we tried to explain to her but she started raising her voice with attitude. If it's your first time be very careful with parking charges.

First arrived and a/c didnt work, they replaced it and the newer one we couldn't control it. Next morning, we had no hot water and had to change rooms. Then every day 1 of the elevators would be out of service and we would have to wait 30 minutes just to get an elevator. Most of the ice machines didnt work either. Seems like this hotel runs on about 50% of their stuff being broken or inoperable. They charged me an additional $380 and called it a resort fee but there are no amenities that would make it a resort. The security staff were amazing and super helpful though. DEFINITELY WILL NOT STAY THERE AGAIN and I Do Not Recommend using this hotel.

I don’t want to say all bad things but it’s gonna be an honest review… The hotel has like 750+ rooms but only 150ish parking spots (50 a night to park) when you can’t find a spot they send you half of a mile walk away to pay another 50, no discount for the inconvenience. The rooms are really small like just enough room to get into the bed. I also saw an orange needle cap under the microwave, so maybe not the cleanest room you will get but it didn’t look dirty besides that. They do have a hot breakfast and it’s within walking distance of the beach and Friday fireworks.

Our room wasn’t cleaned daily and they accused us of putting our do not disturb sign on. We didn’t. We didn’t have enough towels so we had to call every day for some because they didn’t stock us up. Windows were dirty and couldn’t really take good pictures of the view. Was told they have 400 guests at check in as if we weren’t that important. Rooms are small and I banged my leg on a drawer at night. Not much of a walk way. Can’t say I’d stay there again. Thankfully I wasn’t at the hotel much.

The property was beautiful. Staff was friendly. Please use Rommel for your excursion needs. He was fabulous! The elevators were super slow, luckily we were never in a rush. There was an emergent situation that occurred and there was no defibrillator available to assist in providing emergency care or freight elevator to transport the person in critical condition. It is imperative that this life saving device be installed in your facility to prevent a situation such as this from ever happening again. Although basic CPR was utilized it was not enough. Thankfully the friendly staff was willing to do whatever it took to lend a helping hand. I’d like to encourage you to speak to whomever you need to to implement the installation of the defibrillator on site please.

This hotel was great, the staff were all so kind. The only complaints I have are the water temperature for the showers would go from hot to cold to hot randomly. Also the elevators take FOREVER especially during the day when housekeeping needed to use them to clean rooms. House keeping would make our bed and take the trash daily, I never had anything missing and they were so nice!

It’s better to uber or taxi then rent a car and use the parking garage. It’s WAY cheaper to uber. Between the parking garage fee and renting a car price, trust me.

Lastly there are a lot of homeless in this town unfortunately but none of them were physical at all, they just mind their business or do ask for money or food then leave you alone. It was sad to see but expected unfortunately. I did give some of my leftover food from meals to them.

One strip over is all of the shops and there are SO MANY. Breakfast buffet everyday was great.

We went on a family vacation and really enjoyed the stay. You can't beat a free breakfast, especially in Hawaii, which was consistent and satisfying. The rooms were clean and maintained daily and the dove bath products were great for the accommodations. The staff was very helpful and accommodating and gave great recommendations. It's close to tons of walking options and parking was about $52 a day with unlimited in and out. The parking spots are pretty tight, so be prepared to accommodate. The amenities are pretty good and it can get pretty windy on the fifth floor. We will be staying here again. Thank you staff.

Pool area on 5th floor 9s decent as well. I aas just missing an outdoor area- such as a private balcony... but 38th floor. I was okay without it.

Loved it! The complimentary breakfast was great as there are many options to choose from. Location is great because it’s so close to everything but in a bit quieter area. ABC stores are a block away and bus stop too. Hotel room was very clean and had housekeeping every day. All staff are extremely kind and helpful. Only thing I would say, as most people say as well, is that the elevators are a bit slow but it is expected as the hotel is HUGE with 44 floors and everyone trying to use the elevators at the same time so that’s expected. Other than that, loved it and would definitely stay here again! This stay definitely made my trip to Hawaii great! I stayed on the 29th floor and had a partial ocean view room which was an amazing view! Got to see the amazing skyline, mountains, freeway and the blue ocean waters!

Hotel itself is okay the only thing I did not like was the elevators, They are sooo slow you have to wait about 10 minutes every time you want to use the elevators to go up or down. Usually by the time the elevators get to you they are already full with people so you have to keep waiting for another one. I visited other hotels where friends were staying at and they had more floors than ours did and their elevators were fast and easy to access so not sure why our hotel was so slow. The $50 dollar parking fee per night was also a no for me specially because parking is very limited there. We ran out of toilet paper and even tho the cleaning crew would go in to clean the room they did not replace the toilet paper I had to go and ask for some. Other than that the room was fine it had a king bed and we had free breakfast every morning so that was a plus.

There is not hot tub; just COLD JACUZZI I was really disapointed this is my first time in Hawaii and their elevator was ALSO broken; we had to wait over 10 minutes to go up or down. The people giving information on the activities all give you different prices for the same activity; you need to make sure all prices are accurate. Some of the staff don't even answer a simple hi \"aloha\". They give you the same breakfast evey day no variety. It was boring.
