We had a fantastic stay at this hotel. The staff, especially Renee and Bailey, were extraordinarily kind and helpful. The location was perfect, as it was within walking distance of the Ala Moana Center, numerous restaurants, and the heart of Waikiki. The hotel facilities were great, with a cozy outdoor sitting area by the pool providing an intimate atmosphere. The rooms were clean and the beds were comfortable. We also enjoyed the Friday evening live music at the bar/coffee shop area. this hotel provided a terrific family atmosphere and was a great value for the price. We highly recommend it!
Can't fault anything about it.
The hotel's location is fantastic, with easy access to shopping malls, restaurants, cafes, and a beach bus stop just steps away. It takes less than 10 minutes by bus to reach Waikiki beach and the center area. Walking around the pleasant location, especially by Ala Moana park, was a great experience. The hotel has a family-friendly feel, and the staff was very friendly and helpful, making my stay super comfortable.
None.
We absolutely loved our stay at this hotel! The staff were incredibly nice, genuine, and sweet. They made us feel cared for throughout our week-long stay. The hotel was clean and comfortable, truly feeling like home. The bed was comfy and the pillows were dreamy. The AC kept our room cool and comfortable, no matter how hot it got. We especially enjoyed the pool and bar next to the lobby, perfect for relaxation. The hotel's location at the edge of Waikiki was ideal, as it was within walking distance of Hilton Hawaiian Village and Waikiki Beach. The front desk staff also gave great restaurant recommendations, which we appreciated. We would stay here again in a heartbeat!
Was all great.
We loved the friendly and helpful staff. They went above and beyond when my sister's baby needed special accommodations. The location was excellent, with Ala Moana Mall and many restaurants just a few steps away. Transportation was convenient, with easy access to buses that took us to Waikiki beach and the city center. The hotel had a family-friendly feel and made our stay very comfortable.
Nothing we didn't like to be fair.
