Tolle Lage, aber eines der schmutzigsten Hotelzimmer, die wir je erlebt haben – für den Preis absolut nicht akzeptabel.
Pros:

Die Lage in Waikiki war hervorragend und der Balkon war angenehm. Das war jedoch leider das Einzige, was positiv aufgefallen ist.

Cons:

Der Zustand des Zimmers war für einen Preis von rund 200 USD pro Nacht absolut inakzeptabel. Bereits beim Betreten war offensichtlich, dass das Zimmer nicht ordnungsgemäß gereinigt worden war. Der gesamte Boden war voller Hundehaare, Schmutz und Pfotenabdrücke und wirkte, als wäre er seit längerer Zeit weder gesaugt noch gewischt worden. Auch die Dusche und das Badezimmer waren mit Hundehaaren verschmutzt. Die Bettwäsche war voller Flecken und machte keinen hygienischen Eindruck.
Der Zustand war so ekelerregend, dass wir uns trotz eines langen Flugtages nicht einmal getraut haben, die Dusche zu benutzen. Zum Ausruhen haben wir unsere eigenen Handtücher auf das Bett gelegt und uns ausschließlich mit unseren eigenen Handtüchern zugedeckt, weil wir uns auf der vorhandenen Bettwäsche nicht wohlgefühlt haben.
Dass ein Hotel hundefreundlich ist, stellt grundsätzlich kein Problem dar. Es darf jedoch nicht zulasten der Sauberkeit gehen. Ein Zimmer in diesem Zustand anzubieten, ist für ein Hotel in Waikiki und zu diesem Preis schlicht nicht akzeptabel. Es war mit Abstand eines der schmutzigsten Hotelzimmer, das wir je erlebt haben.

Everything great but the bathroom.
Pros:

Everything but the bathroom.

Cons:

Why oh why do hotels use farmhouse doors with large gaps as bathroom doors is beyond me..Sure, id love to both listen and smell the other guest with me in the room. Failure.

Great atmosphere!
Pros:

Lovely spacious room. Comfortable bed. The fridge and safe in the room and the ice machine and water stations downstairs were very much apprecciated. Sofa in our room was old and very uncomfortable and the cushions on it were old, and worn and need replacing. The toilet was excellent and a constant source of fun for us - never seen one like that before. The TV was way too complicated to figure out. General cleanliness of the hotel was average, eg. our balcony was covered in bird poo and the balcony door frames all stained. The corridoors quite dirty. Lovely pool and lounge area but the sunloungers were super uncomfortable! Great to have coffee 'on tap'. The bartender could not pull a pint to save his life so decided to drink elsewhere....Had a welcome bottle of bubbly for my husband's birthday which was a greatly apprecciated, thank you. We would stay again, as loved the location, friendly staff, cosyness of the place and the overall ambiance. Nice to have so many dogs around! Do tell people that parking on Ala Wai Boulevard is free. Just have to watch out Mon & Fri am restriction. We managed to park there everynight and that saved us a fortune.

We did enjoy our stay, thank you
Pros:

Friendly staff, very open and accommodating, no resort fees, towels, and beach stuff were a part of the package without extra cost, location, and it looked pretty cool

Cons:

Though I love that it’s a place for pets, it wasn’t nice seeing pee in the elevator, as well as on the floor, as we walked out to the pool. Though it was cleaned up pretty quickly. There was definitely a dog smell at times.

Great dog and family friendly hotel
Pros:

The hotel is very dog and kid friendly. You’ll see and hopefully pet, lots of dogs. That was the highlight of our stay. Sometimes they make noise but if you’re used to pups, it’s not bothersome. Very kid friendly as well. Again, you may hear the musical sounds of a wee one but again, if you’re used to kids then it’s great. The bed was nice, the linens were crisp. The staff was great. As was the tall bartender. We stayed because we loved the look of the pool but never went in. Not enough time in the day. We did borrow 2 towels every time we went to the beach or snorkel tour. Just return them to the dirty towel receptacle. They have a water machine too, we drank probably gallons of water. Very nice. The balcony was fun. We had to store our bags post check out and they keep them in a safe room. It’s a great location. We never had to walk more than 5-10 mins to a tour pick up location. We did not rent a car. Everything was easily accessible by foot. Stay here if you have dogs or kids. Stay here if you want to pet like 20 dogs. The. Best. Thing. Ever!!
