Pros:

The view was amazing, the bed was very comfortable and you could tell it was clean, the swell bar and staff were fantastic.

Cons:

I think that the bathroom could have been cleaner, and also you could tell that the furniture in the room was old and not in the best shape.

A nice location within Waikiki with sensational ocean views and a great overall feel.
Pros:

We loved the location, and the view from our room was exceptional. The beds were really comfortable With great pillows. The hotel staff were very welcoming and always keen to make our stay comfortable. The pool was wonderful especially for wheelchair access. The hoist chair into the pool works well. We had breakfast each morning at the swell bar. It’s a great deck and poolside area.

Cons:

We were in the wheelchair accessible roll in shower room for my husband’s needs. He found the bathroom space workable but very tight for him in his wheelchair. Also the bed - being really comfortable as a plus, was quite high when transferring from wheelchair to bed. Again, doable but was a little hard work. When having two queen beds in the room, access to the balcony was also tight, and the rail of the door on the floor was high. The door was also heavy for a wheelchair user. We really did love our stay and we’re only sharing this honest feedback to help the hotel to possibly make some changes for accessibility users, for a more practical stay.

Pros:

Les parties communes sont très bien décorées et entretenues.
La salle de sport est très bien équipée

Cons:

Les chambres semblent être laissées à l’abandon, elles sont vétustes et sales.
Aucune isolation, notre porte n’allait même pas jusqu’au sol, nous entendions toutes les conversations dans le couloir et les chambres d’à côté. Aucune intimité.
Notre chambre était quasiment attenante à l’accès à la piscine donc très bruyante et les personnes dans la piscine avaient vu sur notre balcon donc impossible de pouvoir nous y mettre.
