    Great waikiki location if you need but more likely to try something new next time

    The rooms were remodeled, they did a decent job just with cheap materials but clean and fairly modern looking. The lanai is narrow and not really comfortable for lounging and old sliding glass door was difficult to slide open/close. There seems to be quite a bit of repairs and construction to building, elevators, water systems etc.

    VI resorts, in lobby suite 104 is where you check in. Staff was so great, able to get us in an hour early to one of our units. Location was 4-5 blocks off waikiki and location makes walking to most attractions, shopping, restaurants perfect.

    The aircon was old and noisy. The place was outdated. On our last day, we found dead cochroaches in the living room and in the hallway outside the apartment.

    The location is great, very close to all amenities and the beach. The apartment was functional.

    Central location for beach stay

    There was no soap in the shower or bathroom and so we had to buy some. The kitchen did not have any extra items to help with cooking which was not terrible since we ended up eating out while in Waikiki. Views are nothing special

    I was relieved when I found that parking is included. It is just down the street from the beach and so parking is a premium. The guys who checked us in were great and even got us into our rooms as soon as they were ready. The room was comfortable and had almost everything we needed. We were impressed with the art and thought that we would put those pieces on our walls at home. I did not use the pool but it was nice to have it.

    We were going to shop after we checked out and leave our car rental in the building but we couldn't go down the escalator since we already turned in our key fob to the elevator to go down. That was very inconvenient for us but it's alright. We went to shop at Ala Moana instead.

    Perfect for family of 4. Room has kitchen, living room and a room with a door for privacy. I love that the hotel has a parking. Awesome. Close to everything on Kuhio Avenue. Beach is just minutes away.

    The pool should be open or a warning listed somewhere during booking.

    Biggest disappointment was a double bed not a queen, after I sat down on the couch and a cockroach ran across my leg I understood why it smelled like bug spray.

    Nice location, very close to Waikiki Beach. Dukes Restaurant.

    The bed and the sofa bed weren't comfy and found bed bugs on the sofa bed. My whole family got bitten by them. Need to disinfect and exterminator needs to be called. Disgusting and disappointed.

    Liked the proximity of the hotel to the beach. Enjoyed it had a kitchen and oven.
