    Hotel is on the smaller side but modernized and very clean. Great location and helpful staff.

    Bed was on the uncomfortable side. Room was a little noisy after midnight hours but that’s to be expected since it’s downtown.

    Great location for breakfast options walking distance

    The toilet flushing was loud...you can even hear the floor above you. A small chair on the patio would also have been nice. These weren't the biggest of deals but just to be aware of them.

    Room: super clean, comfortable bed. Staff: The BEST. From the check-in to the cleaning to the check-out staff, the service was impeccable. My aunt, mom, and I were treated with the utmost kindness. My flight departed at 11 pm but was still granted the opportunity to enjoy my day and allowed access to a courtesy shower.

    Unfortunately, the wifi was very poor outside the lobby. Also, we had some issues with maintenance of the loo. This then required us to change rooms in the middle of the day, which is a hassle when you only spend little time in O'ahu.

    The location was unbeatable. The newly renovated rooms where really nice and we enjoyed the option of dipping into the pool in the evening (thought it would have been nice if the pool closed at 10:00 pm and not 9:00 pm). Having experienced both the city view and the ocean view, I enjoyed the city view more as it was quieter and still nice where we were situated.

    we had opted for the everyday cleaning in our room and at one point it took a couple of days for them to come clean it. Plus our TV’s chrome cast wasnt working which is what they advertise. But overall good stay!

    The properties location was amazing and the staff was extremely friendly

    The pool and spa area isn’t very inviting, small , no real natural light or nice landscape . There were two long hairs in the bath tub upon check in. Walls are a little on the thin side

    The location to restaurants, shopping and the beach are really convenient . The room was updated and furnished nicely.

    The wifi is poor. It often disconnected. I hate the noise. I can hear every word from my neighbors. The laundry is twice more expensive than the other hotel I stayed in Waikiki. There is only one elevator to the laundry and gym. The swimming pool is tiny.

    The location is great! Close to many restaurants and beaches.

    The air-conditioning is automatic which is kind of cold at night. Also some light comes out from the gap under the door, noticed in the dark but a bit annoying with jet-lag.

    Best location and atmosphere, well-furbished and decorated. Comfort bed. Staffs are professional. Feeling welcomed all the times during the stay.

    Customer service focussed staff, relatively short walk to Waikiki Beach with plenty of eating places and stores nearby.

    the internet speed was good but for some reason it stopped working if I’m connected to Zoom for more than 10 minutes. my one hour zoom presentation was interrupted four times. if you need a stable internet environment for a remote meeting you may need to stay elsewhere.

    I had to work remotely during my trip and the hotel had a small table with a chair making it easy to work for extended time.

    Pool was shaded by building and very small as was spa. I expected a small kitchen in room but that was not so. We did ask and get a kettle to make tea. I had booked 5 n then had an extra night due to this I had to pay $200 twice up front even thou we stayed in same room. We wanted a late check out but we would have had to pay for a couple of hours so didn’t do. Coffee was a help yourself downstairs in foyer. It was warm not hot.

    Closeness to tourist places and restaurants
