This was an easy assignment because you had a group of novice travelers and anything you could have done to go the extra
Pros:

The valet team works hard. And volunteered recommendations.

Cons:

House keeping was lax. The extra mile just seemed to be elusive. Phone calls and messages take to long be answered and/or returned. The pool and lack of service is very mmmeeehhh.

Not recommendable
Pros:

Location is ok, but not great. Rather on the far end of Waikiki district.

Cons:

Big cockroach under bed. Room rather small, no view. Biggest problem was parking. Hotel asked for more than 50$ per night for a parking lot that seemed to be a public parking space. No clear sign indicated that this shall be a valet parking facility. Hotel only reduced charges after I requested to involve police.

Review: Ambassador Hotel Waikiki
Pros:

BLUF: Strong value play in Waikiki—especially if you’re leveraging Hilton Honors perks—but the on-site breakfast experience misses the mark.

We had a great overall stay, made even better by using Hilton Honors points and the fourth-night-free benefit. That alone makes this property punch above its weight in terms of value.

A few highlights stood out right away. Parking pricing for Diamond members is genuinely excellent for Waikiki—no small thing given how painful parking can be in this area. The valet team was fast and efficient every time we came and went, which kept things friction-free. Staff across the board were friendly and easy to work with, and the complimentary beach gear was a great touch—simple, practical, and exactly what you want when you’re trying to maximize time near the water.

Where things fell short was the on-site restaurant, Favorite Son Waikiki. If you’re an early riser, plan ahead. Breakfast didn’t open until after 7 a.m., and there wasn’t any real coffee option before then. In-room coffee also felt like a miss—tea-bag style packets with an electric kettle instead of a standard drip setup.

Once breakfast did open, the menu lacked the basics you’d expect at most Hilton properties. No simple “2 eggs, toast, fruit, and protein” option, and even something as standard as toast with jelly wasn’t available. Not a dealbreaker—but definitely noticeable if you’re used to a more predictable Hilton breakfast experience.

Bottom line: Great stay, excellent use of points, and strong operational touches (parking, valet, staff). Just don’t count on the breakfast—grab coffee elsewhere and you’ll enjoy this place a lot more.
