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.

I honestly can not stop raving about how great this hotel is. I ended up staying in this hotel with a sea view room for 5 nights and I honestly was so relaxed and comfortable in that room. Sometimes laying on the couch looking at the sunset over the ocean from your room was a perfect way to end a day. It is a block away from Waikiki beach which is perfect!. Reason I say it is perfect is because it gets you away from the mountains of crowds that walk along that main road which can get old real quick if it's the first thing you walk out into from the hotels along the main road. The hotel is really modernly suited for Hawaii and you will notice that when you're there. You can also be sure they have comfortable beds with plenty of comfy pillows!. But what was great is that this hotel was in walking distance of everything, if you walk about 300 meters left of the hotel you end up at Honolulu Zoo, the beach is one block away, shopping and restaurants are all around the corner. But what makes this hotel even more convenient is out the front is a stop for the Waikiki trolleys that can take you all the way to Alamoana shopping centre on the pink line (or you can get off at any stop along the way) for a cost of $2 each way. Plus all tours pick you up from the right hand side of the building where the green seat is, which you will find helpful knowing that I've told you that. If you're planning on going to the beach this hotel has you covered with guest being given beach towels to use from the machine down stairs next the elevators. I highly recommend staying here if you are stuck with where to go, plus I think this hotel is fairly price for the high quality you will get. You'll love it!
