Pros:

There was no breakfast

Cons:

The room was tiny with a pillar in the room. And the TV didn't work. They removed it but never replaced it. I would not recommend this to anyone

Terrible sleeping with noise, airflow and light issues.
Pros:

The location was good, reception fine and proximity to beach great.

Cons:

The room is need of substantial maintenance. The airconditioner is too loud to have on during night. Through the night we restated the airconditioner for 5 minutes to obtain airflow.
The fridge has no adjustment and freezes everything so we turned off at night...this also helped with noise reduction.
The blinds are broken so to shield the bright lighting outside we used towels to drape over windows.
There is a large pillar in the room that takes up quite a bit of the floor space.
Building construction next to Waikiki Grand produces much noise from 4:00 am through to late afternoon...not something in the control of Waikiki Grand, but perhaps something that should be signalled to Booking .com customers.
We learnt that the rooms are independently owned so our experience may not reflect on other rooms offered on Booking.com

Worth the price and you get Waikiki too.
Pros:

Room 514. We had a nice view of the ocean from the balcony. The beach and main "strip" (boardwalk) were just a few steps away. The shower was nice, and the bed was very comfortable. Located 2 doors down from stairs and elevator so very convenient. The room was pretty quiet even though there is a bar in the building. We loved having our breakfast out on the balcony. We were within walking distance of 3 bus stops which gave us access to all of Honolulu. The bar in the building was nice and staff very friendly with good food. The first two pix are the room and view from balcony. Second two are Waikiki from main strip just a 5-minute walk.

Cons:

The balcony is in the full sun all afternoon, so it gets very hot to sit out there. The kitchen is fine but only one juice glass, one 12 oz. glass and the pots are so thin that they bow out when hot and barely touch the burner. The room looks nothing like the picture on the site, in fact it's very dingy looking from the paint color chosen for the ceiling and walls. I would have expected something that says "Hawaii", but this says old motel. The only seat is a twin size fold out bed but it's under the wall-mounted TV so not very user friendly. The bus system is extremely confusing and we hated it. There is some road noise but enough to keep you awake.

Cons:

Nem olyan szobát kaptunk, amilyet kértünk (kilátás az óceánra + erkély), de néhány nap után átköltözhettünk egy számunkra megfelelő szobába. Így ez negatív, de pozitív is, mert rugalmasak voltak, bár négy napot kellett eltöltenünk egy "bútorraktárban" erkély nélkül...

Not value for money
Pros:

The location was convenient and the staff were welcoming. The room, however, was not very clean and there were no services provided. Too much noise from outside while the property charged hidden fees as well, and different fees than what was communicated at the booking stage. A form of deceit there. The checking out time was changed without notice and were asked to leave earlier too. Not the best experience but the room offers independence which was appreciated.

Pros:

The plus it was close to Waikiki Beach: 5 minute walk. The cons- no service to the room- no cleaning. Could only change our bath and beach towels every two days. The room has a ‘balcony window’ but sealed shut. Also extremely thin as if they were open and could hear every car, truck, and motorcycle drive by. I booked the room because it has a kitchenette, however every thing in the kitchen is old and a plug in heat burner for the stove. I chose to eat out instead use the dirty, outdated kitchen. The only thing that worked well was the air conditioning and the shower. The bed had an old mattress and older bedding. The entire room looked like a 50 year old version of the photo online and was disappointing.

Roach infested
Pros:

Upon arrival, it was fine. We checked into the room first they try to give us a room that was hot. The AC was not working. She offered us another room where it was cold. We settled in. We go downstairs to grab something to eat. We go back upstairs and there is roaches here and there we kill them and go on about our night. We settle and put some belongings away. We go down to the beach. We’re gone for a few hours upon a return when we enter the room. The room is infested with roaches not one or two like the first time rather 10 or 20 we’re trying to kill them all but there’s just so many they’re everywhere the food that we bought are belongings on the bed on the floors and the wall. We call Castle to inform them of the roach infestation in the room. The representative told me that he would have somebody contact me. After waiting for about 20 minutes, nobody ever called. To the front desk at Waikiki grand Hotel. and informed them of what was going on. They switched us rooms, but the room they gave us was an extra room for the cleaning service. They had their at the hotel so before we could get settled in, they had to move out all the buggies and cleaning supplies so that we could sleep there. The room was clean, however very outdated with dirty carpet not to mention the reason why I booked this room.( the first room) was because it had a full kitchen. The room that they switched us to did not have a full kitchen nor a full refrigerator it did come with the hot plate.
