    there was no coffee/tea-maker in the room, I would have expected this regarding the price. The parking situation is a real problem, there is valet parking, but not enough. We arrived with a late flight, so the parking was not available and it took us 1 hour to find a spot to park the rented car.

    location is good if you want to explore the island. View from the room to the Ala Wai was nice. Hotel pool is good

    The Valet Parking is way too expensive: $45 a night. And while most of the time the attendants were cordial and friendly, sometimes they were a little rude. For $45 a night, there is no space for nothing different than an amazing service.

    Location is great and the rooms are comfortable and clean.

    The parking was costly and took us lot of time every time due to valet only parking. We had to wait for the car to come out. There was a cleaning issue as we found hair from previous customers on bedsheets. The shower was was good but the water drainage system in shower was slow to the extent that it seemed jammed. We missed complimentary coffee with the coffee maker.

    Good Location and courteous staff. Attractions close by. Nice clean rooms, fridge and small coffee maker. Daily room service.

    Super cute, comfy hotel, but room was kind of loud
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveller
    • King Room with Balcony
    • Stayed 3 nights

    My room was on the third floor, overlooking the street corner, and it was kind of loud at night. I think this was mostly due to the fact that the lanai sliding doors seemed old and they definitely were not soundproof. And I say this as a person who lives on the third floor of a building on a busy street in Brooklyn and has a balcony over looking the street—this room let in more noise than I get in my apartment. Next time I would book a room on a higher floor or one with a pool view to not be overlooking the street.

    I loved the Brutalist design of the hotel and how they leaned into that aesthetic with info on the building's history. I was in a city view corner king, which was super cute, spacious, and got great light. The pool area is amazing—the pool is large and there are plenty of loungers, so it never felt crowded.

    The room was small even though there were two beds. The shower head isn’t great. The air conditioner did not work properly. I still haven’t been refunded my $200 deposit and it’s been 7 days since I’ve left. They should just hold that money in case there is damage, not cash it in right away.

    The location was perfect.

    The decor is really intriguing in photos. But after checking in, we found our room to be a bit "meh". The AC is quite loud, the room felt damp and smelled overwhelming like bleach and the feather pillows smell odd. The balcony door is very old and thin, too. For the price, it's probably a great deal. But I just can't shake the bleach smell!

    Front counter experience with Daniel was great and we enjoyed the complimentary beverage on checkin. The location across from the quiet canal is nice.

    The hotel rooms are a bit-dated, but a good value compared to many of the Waikiki area hotels.

    Hotel was conveniently located near shopping, restaurants and attractions, but a bit more secluded off the major highways. Higher-floor rooms provide views of the canal, city and country side.

    It is a short walk to the beach, but it's not a particularly pleasant walk. Lots of traffic and construction etc. We weren't crazy about Waikiki in general though - other parts of the island have nicer/less crowded beaches. The hotel property is much more compact than photos reveal. Neither the pool nor hot tub were properly heated. On two separate occasions housekeeping took our bath towels and the forgot to replace them (an easily remedied problem but kind of funny).

    We chose this hotel for the vibes, and I think they delivered. It's definitely trendy and cute and a good value for the area. Staff were friendly and the room was nice. The added cost of valet parking is a bummer but I think that's the case at all Waikiki hotels, and it was honestly really nice to not have to think about parking.

    It is an older hotel that has been remodeled. As such, the sound insulation between the rooms was lacking, or our neighbor was exceptionally loud.

    The place had a very wonderfully Aloha vibe. Everyone was helpful friendly and available. Both restaurants were wonderful,the pool was well protected from the wind, so was great to have on windy days.
