It is a lovely hotel directly across the street from the beach with a beautiful view!
Pros:

The hotel is in a wonderful location just across the street from the gorgeous Waikiki Beach. We had a front row seat from our balcony to the beautiful view. It was a very easy walk to all of the happenings, shops, and restaurants along the beach.

Cons:

It took a long time to get our car from the valet. We did realize after the first time we got the car that they offer a texting service to have it ready for you which made it much easier from then on out. We just wish we had been informed when dropping it off initially or by the front desk at registration.

Pros:

Location, the cleaning staff was nice.

Cons:

The elevator is so slow, its ridiculous. Some of the other guests were not LGBT+ friendly and it made us feel uncomfortable, so maybe put signs up that the hotel is LGBT+ friendly to make everyone feel comfortable and welcomed.

Bit outdated also . Definitely needs a good update.

A good place to stay if you’re on a budget and want to be close to the beach.
Pros:

Close to the beach and shops.

Cons:

It’s an old property that’s been sort of renovated. Still has a lot of upgrades they could do to make it nicer.
