My family has booked this hotel for 7day, family of 6. Our experience here is horrible! Poor customer service. Would not recommend this place to anyone! Take your money elsewhere. We rented a family suites with 5 beds. The kitchen was horrible, stove didn’t work. The closest by the entrance door was broken! Wasn’t able to use the closet at all. Bathroom tubs had rust stain. The bedroom with the queen bed smells like urine. We had to closed the door and not sleep in that room.(the whole 7day we didn’t not used that room). It was waste of money. The room next to the queen bed had no tv. When trying to charger our devices, we had to unplug the alarm clock. It’s so frustrating and inconvenience. On site laundry room was horrible. Only one dryer was working, the dryer wasn’t even drying properly. Our experience here is horrible. Not worth it. Take your money elsewhere.

The staffs were helpful and it was easy access to Waikiki and to the stores near by. The only issue was parking spots we had to use the city parking for 24hrs and paid $58 dollars for the city parking in front of the hotel then second night we finally had a spot at the hotel parking but we had to pay also $45. For the parking for the hotel itself it wasn’t included in the stay. lol

Our stay was extremely disappointing, and we ended up checking out after just one night despite having a four-night reservation.
From the moment we entered the room, there was a strong mildew odor. The bedding did not appear to have been washed, and we even found what looked like a bloody handprint on the bathroom door. To make matters worse, there were roaches in the room. We were so uncomfortable and concerned about cleanliness that we slept in the clothes we had traveled in because we were afraid of bringing something home.
The problems extended beyond the room. The hallways were dirty, there was visible water damage to the flooring, and parking was extremely limited, with only 19 on-site spaces all occupied.
We checked in around 10:30 p.m. and checked out at 6:30 a.m. the following morning because we simply could not get out of there fast enough. We had planned to stay four nights, but this experience left us worried it was going to ruin our entire vacation.
Unfortunately, this was one of the worst lodging experiences we've ever had, and I would not recommend this property to anyone.

this isn't the top of the heap, but if you are just wanting to go inexpensive and be close to everything, it's not bad. the room was nice, had some issues with the cook top of the stove, but the parking was easy, the people were friendly and the room was decent. zoo is right across the street and the ocean was only a few minute walk away. for budget friendly places, this one's pretty good.

Great Location, But the Property Is in Serious Need of Renovation and Maintenance

I booked Ewa Hotel Waikiki because it was one of the more affordable hotels in Waikiki and advertised on-site parking. The location is excellent. It's within walking distance of Waikiki Beach, restaurants, shopping, and other attractions. The rooftop deck also offers nice views of the ocean and surrounding city.

Unfortunately, the positives largely stop there.

The biggest disappointment was parking. During my entire 4-night stay, the hotel's parking lot was completely full and I was never able to park on-site. Guests should be prepared to pay for alternative parking. Nearby lots charge approximately $50–$57 per day, which can add a significant amount to the overall cost of your stay. The nearby Banyan garage was often full after 8:00 PM, making parking even more challenging.

Customer service was inconsistent. Some front desk employees were friendly and welcoming, while others seemed uninterested and lacked the aloha spirit that Hawaii is known for.

The property itself appears to have been neglected for many years. While the room was functional, it was extremely outdated and showed significant wear and tear throughout. Furniture was scratched, chipped, and damaged. The carpeting was stained, dirty, and even pulling away from the walls in some areas. The television, light switches, fixtures, and furnishings looked decades old.

The maintenance issues were hard to overlook. The slidi

The location for the price is unbeatable. But you are going to get the room you paid for and the room was a bit rundown looking and the walls were paper thin. Again I can’t stress though that the location was perfect. Literally right next to the beach and many shops and restaurants. Perfect for my long layover in Hawaii. There are other nicer hotels right next to it, but likely they will be 2~3x the price so if you are on a budget this Hotel gets the job done.

I've stayed here several times and tried to give the property the benefit of the doubt because the location is convenient and not far from the beach. Unfortunately, each stay has come with significant issues.
On my first trip, the room had no hot water. On my second visit, the room had a strong moldy odor. During my most recent stay, I reserved a king-bed room but was given a double-bed room for the first night instead.
The hotel only has one elevator, and during this stay it stopped working, forcing guests to climb five flights of stairs. I also noticed ants and cockroaches in the property.
Considering the amount I pay per night, I do not feel the accommodations or service justified the cost. After multiple disappointing experiences, this hotel has lost my business.
