This is a well-maintained, recently renovated hotel in the center of Waikiki. They cater more to families. We like the new lobby and room décor (a sort of mid-century Hawaiian feel), but space can feel a little tight, and the showers are tiny with hand-held shower heads—drop the soap and you gotta open the door to pick it up. The walls don’t block much sound, and if you get a room ending in -00, you may be forced to continuously hear the elevators. Connecting rooms available.
The pool area is comfortable and inviting with daybeds and lounge chairs (the pool-bottom mural even reads, “Come Be Here”). The gym has Peloton and Technogym equipment (we tend to forget what the word “exercise” means when we’re on vacation, but you knock yourself out).
Parking here wins the bonehead award for design. If you keep driving to the top of the garage looking for a space, there is literally no place to turn around. Overall, not a bad place if you get a good rate (and perhaps didn’t rent a car), especially since it is smack in the middle of Waikiki.
Rooms are 234–352 sq. ft., kitchenettes are 267 sq. ft., suites are 375–720 sq. ft.
