Fun times
Pros:

Man, oh man, what a night I had! I flew in from DC Friday night to a warm but rainy welcome! Shout out to Simon for giving me an umbrella when It was down pouring and taking my luggage! When I got to my room, it was exceptionally clean, unfortunately without power however, when I went down to the valet to retrieve my car, they recommended a very good Japanese restaurant! I absolutely love it! I’m only here for business but If I were to come back, it would definitely be here! I loved it

Pros:

Wow what can I say. The hotel and restaurant are top notch. We found hideout for our date night and our server Chiara really made it special. The mixed drinks are amazing, espresso martini with a house made macadamia nut foam what gets better than that. Thank you Chiara we will definitely consider choosing Baylor hotel for our next stay!

Highly recommend the rooftop bar - The Hideout
Pros:

This review is specifically for the rooftop bar/restaurant as we didn’t stay at this hotel. Outstanding dinner experience. Fresh, excellent food and a great atmosphere with amazing live music. Our server, Chiara, provided fantastic service. She was attentive, efficient, and genuinely welcoming. Highly recommend the brussel sprouts. Reservations are a smart move as the patio gets very busy. We went in early March and I did need a light jacket after sunset. Family friendly - our young child also had a great meal and a great time!

Loved the Laylow and the Hideout!
Pros:

Our stay at the Laylow was absolutely exceptional. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality felt warm, genuine, and effortless, the kind that makes you immediately relax and feel taken care of. The hotel itself is beautifully designed: elegant, comfortable, and thoughtfully curated without feeling pretentious.

A special thank-you to Chiara at the Hiseout who truly elevated the experience! Her attention to detail, kindness, and willingness to go above and beyond made the stay memorable. Whether it was helping with recommendations, making sure everything was perfect, or simply greeting us with a smile, they each brought a level of service that felt personal and sincere.

The rooms were spotless, stylish, and incredibly comfortable, and every aspect of the property felt intentional and well maintained. It’s rare to find a place where the atmosphere, service, and people all align so well.

If you’re looking for a hotel that combines beautiful surroundings with truly outstanding hospitality, the Laylow Hotel delivers. We would absolutely stay here again and recommend it without hesitation.

Lay low and hide out!
Pros:

I usually stay at the Laylow when traveling for business. Rooms are comfy, a short walk from Waikiki Beach. The highlight for me is the Hideout, their rooftop restaurant and music venue. Great service, friendly staff, great lattes, tasty food. Would recommend

The Laylow-An Amazing Hotel
Pros:

This hotel is incredible-I never wanted to leave and I hope to get back there again. The location is ideal-a couple of blocks from Waikiki Beach and steps from great restaurants/shopping.
We had a corner room on the 14th floor w mountain and ocean views and a balcony looking at each. The room had a king bed in the middle of the room and 2 twin daybeds on opposite sides that were perfect for our teenagers to have their own zones. There was a small walled off dining area (seats 2-3 comfortably) w a table and a keurig coffee maker. Bathroom was small but adorable w lots of storage-think NYC studio apartment layout. Big closet for suitcases and hanging clothes.
We had ukulele lessons and lei making. The pool is nice to cool off-it’s small and gets crowded easily. Complimentary seltzer, cold water and ice all day long on the first floor.
Shout outs:
Chris-who does every job possible-ukulele, gift shop, shave ice maker, valet, etc.;
Cy at front desk-awesome customer service;
Lola-at the hideaway and
Aki-housekeeping.
All just really lovely humans. Every single person that works at this hotel is absolutely lovely.
Tips-If you need to rent a car for a day book through Avis at the Sheraton-not the mall-you can drop off after hours.
Target is a 5 min walk and has everything.
