I had a really pleasant stay at this hotel, which boasts a fantastic location that's close to everything you need. The rooms were clean and comfortable, although I did notice the walls were a bit thin, so you could hear neighbors at times. The staff were friendly and genuinely helpful, making my experience even better. However, the dining options weren’t the most varied during my stay, which was a little disappointing. Overall, it felt like good value for money given the amenities and the great view from my room.

The hotel has a stunning location in the heart of Waikiki, perfect for enjoying the beautiful ocean views. The rooms, while offering good views, felt a bit dated and unimpressive.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is absolutely perfect, right in the heart of Waikiki, with beautiful views and everything you need within walking distance. The rooms were a bit smaller than I expected and had a moldy smell that took a while to go away. The service varied; some staff were friendly and attentive, while others didn't really monitor things like lounge reservations well. Overall, it wasn't the most luxurious stay, but it had its perks, especially the prime location.

I stayed at the hotel recently and while it's in a prime location right in the heart of Waikiki, I found some aspects less than ideal. The rooms offered beautiful views and were spacious enough, but I think they could invest in upgrading to queen-size beds for more comfort. The staff was quite friendly and attentive, especially during the safety concerns leading up to Hurricane Lane, but I didn't feel entirely safe due to some sanitation issues around the property. Overall, it has potential but needs some improvements.

I recently stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a great beachfront location with plenty of shops and restaurants nearby. The views from the room were spectacular, but I did find the room a bit small and the walls thin, which led to a noisy experience.
