There are good and not so good comments from our stay here. Whether or not this hotel is for you really depends on what you want. The best part of this hotel is its location - right opposite Waikiki Beach. Also the fact it is self-contained is a huge plus: having your own kitchen and laundry is a real bonus. Beware though, that the oceanfront apartments look directly into the back of the neighbouring property if you are on a level lower than level 12. You will see right into your neighbours apartment, and they will see into yours. We still had great views of the beach from our balcony, but the next door hotel was a little distracting. The hotel itself is looking a little tired and drab in places, we found the furniture somewhat shabby and the bed uncomfortable. Noisy small wall-mounted airconditioner made for restless sleeping. If you wander through some of the larger well known hotels/resorts, then this one is certainly in need of some upgrades by comparison. However, if looks dont bother you, then this hotel will be great. The valets and concierge staff were very friendly and helpful, however there was only one person in the front office who bothered to make any effort and provide anything remotely resembling service. Note here: i have already taken this up with management, who have responded to my experiences and are looking into the matters we brought up. Overall, although the location is great, and a 2 bedroom apartment suited our needs, i probably would not stay here again.
Room Tip: If you can afford it, book an apartment on the upper levels (above 12) to avoid the birds eye view i...

Aloha,
And MAHALO to these guests for staying with us and for taking the time to share their Waikiki experiences with us.
I was really happy to see that they found our location right across from famous Waikiki Beach to be ideal and our suites, with a fully equipped kitchen and a washer and dryer to their liking. We have really tried to make our suites that "home away from home" and we are continually looking at ways to improve on this. I was however very sorry to hear that they found the furniture in their suite somewhat out dated and we will review this in the near future to see if a furniture package can be developed for our owners. I am also going to followup with our Guest Services Manager as service from our guest service agents has always been a hallmark of the experience our guests have come to enjoy and I am very sorry these guests were not able to experience just that.
I would like to once again say MAHALO to these guests for staying with us and I sincerely hope we have the opportunity of hosting them and all of you in the near future.
ALOHA!
