Lyn gave us an amazing room and early check-in. Ocean view with a balcony. Housekeeping comes daily if you want. The pool is cozy and there’s plenty of seating. We will be back.

Very convenient location. Close proximity to shopping, food, and beach park.

Everything was great but our living room area in our one bedroom suite wasn’t cleaned that great. One of the pots looked dirty and so did the door handle. It had grease on it. Also, the hotel doesn’t supply utensils and cooking accessories. Other than that everything was great. I really enjoyed the steakhouse on the 36th floor. They had a great happy hour selection on food and drinks.

Take Note: This hotel has 2 towers: the newer Waikiki Tower and the Kona Tower, so the reviews will differ greatly. This review is for the "Kona Tower - City View" room costing us a total of $281.95 for one night. To put it bluntly, we give this room a thumbs down. It did not have a city view -- looking at a wall, parking lot, and the 2 buildings surrounding it does not constitute a "view." When I contacted the front desk upon reaching the room, I was told this was the "standard Expedia room" and that nothing better was available without additional cost. The room itself was incredibly basic, plus it had stains on the ceiling over the bed, only one set of pillows and one washcloth, the sliding door and lanai glass were terribly dirty, the toilet had hair all over it and liquid on the seat (I had to clean it, and dark dirt came off the lid), and no ice machine in the tower (had to go to Waikiki tower)! The walls were pretty thin and we could hear our neighbors ... having a good time. The good things? Check in was fast with nice people, the bed was pretty comfortable, and the location was next to the Ala Moana Center and a (long) walking distance to the Blaisdell arena.

Room needs to be vacuumed between client stays. Old stained furniture and carpets.

The rooms are old. The property is old, even though clean. Shower was old , covered in lime and leaking. Room was supper small.

Safe and clean

I had a great time here and would definitely come back again. Great location and easy access to shopping and food

We had a very nice room one bedroom king size bed, living room/full kitchen area (2 Fridge, 2 microwaves, range and kitchen utensils.) The kitchen and bedroom area were separated and has some privacy. The bathroom was a big. The good thing about this hotel is that it is connected to the huge Ala Moana Shopping Mall and Food court with tons of food choices. It is also close to the Ala Moana Park and Beach, and a 3 min. walk to the Honolulu Convention Center. It was such a pleasant experience. I had self-parking in the hotel but a bit expensive. Would stay in this hotel again!!!

The front desk was super helpful and made me feel special and welcome .shopping mall very conveniently located literally downstairs .breakfast options available. The restaurant on the top flore had amazing food and an incredible view
