An empowered team delivers THE MODERN HONOLULU experience -- alluring, personalized and innovative – surrounded by an award-winning design concept that creates an urban chic beach aesthetic.

Let’s start with the positives: sitting by the pool was nice and relaxing. The view of the ocean from our room was beautiful. The bathrooms by the pool and lobby were great, spacious, and clean. The staff were friendly and it was a quick and easy check in/out. Nice location for walking around to beach, marina, shops, and restaurants. Now on to the the issues that need improvement: cleanliness is a big factor for me and our room did not come close to feeling clean. It really was unfortunate as I had high expectations for this hotel as it came highly recommended and for the price I was expecting a nice clean room. The carpet was filthy, had many stains, and I stepped in something very sticky. The pull out bed was full of crumbs and did not have fresh clean linens/sheets. I had to request clean bedding and it took about an hour for the clean sheets and bedding to be delivered. The air conditioner smelled of mold/mildew and the bathroom had a sewage smell to it. I hoped the room would be larger as I booked a jr. suite but it felt like a standard size room and it was right next to the loud elevator that I heard all night. The room needs many more hooks and towel or drying racks. The drying line in the shower was full of mold so I didn’t want to use that. One morning there was no one at the towel station so many guests had to wait more than 20min to get a pool towel. The pool was also very cold (wish it was heated) and one day the outdoor showers were broken. There is not much for families with younger children. I also spent over 4hrs by the pool and not a single staffer from the bar/restaurant asked me if I wanted to order any food or drinks. I had to go up to the bar to order our items which I don’t mind at all if that’s how it’s done but the staff did go up to many other guests to get their food/drink order so that was a bit odd to me that I was never asked nor approached. I cannot recommend this hotel for these reasons and unfortunately will not be returning.…

Aloha tnj37, we regret to hear about the issues you had during your vacation as this certainly is not what we expect for our guests.

For a beautiful hotel I’ve never been so incredibly embarrassed for the level of service. There is no housekeeping, and staff will IGNORE the calls from the room (but immediately pick up cell calls) if they feel like it - this happened starting after our luggage mysteriously went missing for 30 minutes and for hours throughout the day. To say I’m appalled is a understatement. This is truly an embarrassment to waikiki - I just wish I read the reviews more seriously before checking in. Also - try the cocktails if you’re adventurous…. and like the smell and taste of watered down everclear. While the room is spacious and in a good location, there is no chance I would ever wish this service upon my enemies. 10/10 would never stay again.

Currently staying here - its a shockingly poor experience vs the hotel that was here a few years back. Restaurants aren’t what they were. Pool is closed for renovations — despite the website not listing extended poor repair dates. No toothbrush in the room.

This dinner was reserved seating. Two seatings of 5 and 7pm. We chose the 7pm seating. Upon arrival it was very disorganized and difficult to check in. Once seated, it took a very long time to place a drink order. We then waited 45 minutes for our drinks, this was after making an inquiry as to when we would get them. We had to ask our server to take our food order. Then our food did not come. After an hour we inquired when to expect our orders. The server then brought our meal which was cold. The turkey was like rubber, the prime rib was chewy. No ever came back to see if our food was OK or not. Our desert had to go back as our dinner plates were not removed and no room on the table to place them down. Someone finally came and cleaned the table and brought our desert. I looked for a manager to complain about our experience and no manager could be found. I am a loyal Hilton customer, but this experience now has me questioning my future reservations. This is a Diamknd property offering service of a 1 star hotel. By no means does this property align with the typical Hilton experience. Extremely disappointed and will not return.…

Cleanliness (0/10): sheets and towels clean but bathroom shower has dirt between the tiles and carpets had stains. There are carpet beetles in the carpet in the rooms. If you have allergies to this bug, this will mess with you. NO ROOM CLEANING AT ALL DURING YOUR STAY - due to covid no room cleaning they will only give you new shampoos and towels upon your request. Pool (0/10): the pool chair covers are SO DIRTY with stains you would never ever sit by the pool. Staff (3/10): Front desk staff was awful they told us they'll hand us a vaccum and we can clean our own room. Requested a manger call back many times and no call back. The concierge staff was actually really nice and understanding - go to them for anything. $$$$ expensive resort fees for no reason - spa was closed and no cleaning... then why are we paying resort fees. Was essentially a hotel.…
