Excellent location
The ResortQuest Joy Waikiki Hotel was an excellent choice for our first stay in Hawaii. The location is excellent and a short walk to the beaches, shopping, and eating places. We enjoyed the morning continental breakfast and the friendliness of the staff. While ResortQuest Joy is not the newest or largest hotel in the area, it provides a more leisurely and homey atmosphere, perfect for relaxing in the somewhat hectic pace of Waikiki. We would certainly return to this hotel when/if we get a chance to again visit Oahu. A good value for the money.

Nice but small rooms
We stayed at this hotel with another couple and ended up with two types of rooms the king size bed room was very small and almost wall to wall furniture the two double bed room was a little larger that you could at least move around. The pool is very small so I did not see anyone using it. The location is great for places to eat, shop, and night life within walking distance. Overall a pretty nice place to stay even with the small rooms.

You have everything from fast food to nice sit down dining just a few blocks from the hotel. They also had a continental breakfast included at the hotel that was nice with bagles, sweet rolls, fresh fruit, coffee and juices.

Great for a traveller on the go
The ResortQuest Waikiki Joy was the perfect hotel for the hawaii traveller on the go. We appreciated the fact that the hotel was in the heart of Waikiki and within a half block of the main shopping and entertainment areas--and because the hotel sat by itself on a much quieter side street with minor traffic. The daily continental breakfast was a major plus versus the pricey and limited breakfast dining options nearby. The rooms were more than adequate, clean, and quiet. Although parking is valet only, the hotel staff offered very expeditious and friendly service.

Better than we expected
Although it was going through some renovating, we were very pleasantly surprised with the overall experience. Staff was more than accommodating. Rooms were very clean and nice. We will definitely stay there again. Centrally located to restaurants and shopping. Valet parking only.

Very quiet, pleasant stay
I was on a personal trip just to treat myself, relax, and do some shopping. Staying at the Waikiki Joy was perfect - it was quiet, and the pleasant, friendly staff were very helpful and accomodating. I was even surprised to be able to check in not just my bag early, but was also given the room 4 hrs. prior to check in time! I thought that was very generous. The hotel has a private, quaint, and personal atmosphere, that makes you feel at home. The convenience of having your own jacuzzi bathtub in the room was wonderful! The hotel is situated close to shopping, restaurants, entertainment, and even bus transportation. I definitely plan to return here time and time again. The "Waikiki Joy" certainly lives up to it's name!

Great Location for the money
The hotel was 2 blocks from the beach, clean good size room with balcony. The bathroom was a good size with a jacquzzi bath tub, the shower pressure could have been stronger, but nothing to really complain about. The staff was friendly and helpful very easy check in and check out. Free continental breakfast was offered every morning from 7 to 9. Muffins, fruit, bread, orange juice, pineapple juice water and coffee. Pretty good for free! The pool was very small but that was not an issue for us because we had plans everyday. They have a massage chair in the lobby which helped after our Diamond Head hike!!! Pleasant stay for the money.

The name says it all "Joy"!
We stayed there from Feb 17 - Feb 20. The front desk attendants were extremely polite and helpful. Mike, I believe he is the head of valet, was also extremely helpful and polite. We rent hotel rooms based on reviews and this place has great reviews and it is for a reason, that they are great. Don't believe the bad reviews, those are just people who were unhappy because they were hoping for a 5 star hotel when they only paid $90. Usually, you get what you pay for, but here, you get more. The service is impeccable and everything is within walking distance, even the beach. The views are not great, but we didn't book a hotel to look out of a window all day. We went there to enjoy and explore Hawai'i. The bed was comfortable, and I can't give it 5 stars since my bed at home is super comfortable, but it was still pretty good. They charge for parking, but they park your car for you, so it's well worth it since everywhere in Honolulu charges to self-park. They charge for internet, but if you have AT&T internet at home, the Starbucks wi-fi across the street reaches at least to the 6th floor with pretty good signal. The place was clean and even though the traffic below is pretty constant throughout the day, it is still very quiet with the sliding door closed. If you're looking for room service, massages, and views that you can write a novel about, this is not the place for you. However, if you are looking for a great place at a great price where you can sleep for the night, with 24 hour great service, then this is the place for you.

Take an extra $500 CASH above your budget, not for the hotel, but for Honolulu in general.
