The hotel is in a great location, easy walk to the beach and shops. The rooms were a bit outdated and tired-looking but clean. The service was friendly, and I appreciated the nice view from my room. However, the dining options were limited, and the noise from the neighboring rooms was a drawback.

The location of the hotel is fantastic, in close walking distance to Waikiki Beach and surrounded by various eateries. The rooms, although spacious and well set up, could use some updates. The service was a mix of friendliness and unfriendliness. The noise levels were a drawback, with thin walls allowing street noise to penetrate. The dining offered limited options and needed improvement.

The hotel's location is ideal, close to various attractions and easy to walk around. The staff was helpful, but the service could use improvement in communication and proactivity. The rooms were somewhat grubby, especially the kitchen and bathroom, with a lack of kitchenware. The dining options were basic and need upgrading, while the facilities were decent overall.

The hotel's rooms need renovations and are not as advertised in the photos, but they are comfortable. The cleanliness could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were very outdated and in need of repair, not like the pictures shown on Booking, but having a kitchen was a plus. Despite this, I found the accommodation comfortable, and I enjoyed being able to walk to places in Waikiki.

The hotel is in a convenient location with easy access to public transportation. The rooms are spacious, clean, and modern, but the air conditioning unit seems outdated. The service at the reception desk was friendly and helpful, although there were concerns about credit card security. The dining options were satisfactory, with a kitchen in the room that could use an upgrade. Overall, a good value for money stay with minor considerations to note.

My stay at the hotel had its ups and downs. The location was perfect, overlooking De Russey Park and close to all necessary connections. The rooms, however, were not up to par with cracks, mold, and dust issues, and the dining options left much to be desired with basic prepacked meals. The service was lacking in hospitality but made up for it with quality service on site for luaus, cruises, and tours.
