Fantastic location and value for money
Pros:

Central location with a quick walk to the beaches, shopping malls, restaurants and bus stops. The staff was very accommodating and friendly. Parking is off site across the street and it is only $35 a night with in and out privileges. The wifi was strong, and we were easily able to borrow beach towels and beach chairs. Hotel pool and lounge area was comfortable and clean. There is guest laundry and dryer. I would stay here again next time I visit Waikiki!

Cons:

The room is a little worn and the shower water takes a bit of time to heat up. The shampoo and soap were in small travel containers and I wish it is in dispenser form attached to the shower instead for ease of use. There is no kettle provided. Note that the hotel is by a busy street and close to restaurants so there can be loud music playing at night.

サイコー
Pros:

立地が最高すぎる!
スタッフの方々も明るく優しい人達ばかりでした!

Cons:

海外では珍しく、ウォシュレットがあるのが助かると喜んでいたら、途中から動かなくなってしまいました。
まぁそんな事は、日本でも起きる事なので、修理を依頼すれば良いだけなのですが、なんか面倒で…良くない点とは言えないかも。

いつもWaikiki滞在時にはこのホテルにしています。

強いて言うならシャワーの使い方の説明書きなどあれば良いですね。
日本人には最初難解です。
