My stay at the hotel was quite an experience. The location was fantastic, being within walking distance of Waikiki beach and shopping.

The dining options were varied, with a nice buffet breakfast included. However, the hotel could have been more inviting with some additional greenery.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel! The rooms were clean, comfortable, and very well-serviced.

The location was great for tours and exploring, and the staff were attentive to all our needs. The dining options were good, though a bit chaotic at times. Overall, a fantastic experience with just a few minor drawbacks.

I stayed on the 4th floor right by the pool, and despite some partying over the 4th of July weekend, it was vacant and serviced. The AC was a savior after a hot day of hiking around town. The 'Corner Studio' room was spacious and had a very cold AC, making it extremely pleasant.
