“Effortlessly Chic”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed March 17, 2013

We stayed at the Modern for 4 nights on our way through to Maui, then for 1 night before flying home. Everyone who worked there were friendly and helpful, and made lots of accommodations for our 9 month old daughter. Suki was especially fantastic, but we couldn't fault anybody.

The location was far enough away from the hustle and bustle of downtown Honolulu, but close enough to walk there. The pool area was lovely, and very relaxing. The amenities were modern, clean and stylish. It was a very "cool" hotel, that wasn't even trying. We loved it, and will stay there again.

Our only issue was the noise. On our initial stay, we were near some kind of service corridor, with the customary bumps and bangs that go with it. On our 2nd stay, we could hear/feel the vibration/noise of what I assume was the night club "addiction", but it might have been from across the road or something. A bit of an issue with a 9 month old, but if you're without kids, who cares, right?

Highly recommended!!

“Great, Great, Great Resort”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2013

OMG, I totally wish I was here again. I loved the service, I fell in love with the modern look and this resort was extremely clean, which is really important to us. I think it cost almost $400 a night. It was worth it, I loved the bar by pool and The Study. I would recommend this, again, again, and again.

“modern,stylish,good service and view”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 15, 2013

i stay with my family for 4 nights, i'm really enjoy the stay, from the arrivel (they upgrade our room to keep our family in the same floor:), and the gold key reception boy(name's marc) help us find the shuttle bus to the pearl harbour,.

i spend 2 afternoon and sunset pool, the view, the service is really fantastic, and you can find a cute shop nearby.

no wonder they also have one of the best japanese restaurant in the town, well you have to book it in advance.

the location is great, bit far from waikiki beach, but still walking distance, and i like the beach park next to our hotel, bigger and less people than waikiki.

i'll come back for sure.

Room Tip: sea view definitly.

“Fantastic, beautiful hotel that we didn't want to leave.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 14, 2013 via mobile

What an amazing hotel. We were so impressed with the staff, the decor, the atmosphere and everything else! Coming back to the hotel after a day out at the beach or the shops, felt like coming home. You will not regret staying at the modern. We can't wait to come back.
