I just wasn't impressed. For the Hilton brand, I expected more from the room, and my wife and I didn't feel comfortable. The room was cramped (especially the bathroom) and there were only two double beds available when we would have preferred a king. My wife and I had a couple of weeks in Honolulu, and I was there for work, so we wanted to be in a place where we could spend some time and feel relaxed.
Not a big deal, but when we entered the room, the first thing we discovered was a towel lying on the floor... details. The room itself had a dingy look to it and didn't smell fresh - it smelled almost musty.
The layout of the room didn't allow for much open space - there was barely room for the two beds. There was a mini-fridge in the room which was totally out of place, and looked like something you would buy at a flea market.
The bureau under the TV (which was a very nice LG wide screen) was old and worn, and had pretty small drawers on either side. When the middle door was opened it had an unfinished look and there were't any shelves to store anything.
The corridor leading to the elevators was very warm and felt like there was no air conditioning. The main areas of the hotel were generally crowded with people... I understand it's Waikiki and there are lots of people there, but this hotel lacked intimacy.
The staff were very friendly and professional... Before we decided to checkout of the hotel and move to another down the street, they offered to relocate us to another room, but we didn't bother because it would've been the same size so we didn't see the point. I appreciate that they tried to accommodate us.
The parking arrangement was horrible... only valet parking and $30 per day!! The wait was unpredictable, although they tried to get your car down pretty quick.
The check-out revealed that the few local calls I made were $1.00 each - and I'm a Hilton Honors member. I would expect complimentary local calls... pretty crummy but I guess I should have read the fine print.
I realize my review is lacking specifics and pictures... I just wanted to share my experience.
