all good except noise inside

Stayed there for 7 days, I am not hotel type person and all I need is a bed and a room to sleep, plus internet access. The room is big, the bed is good, staff very helpful, there's laundry on-site so that is good. The bad thing that may be specific to only some rooms was that being in front of the elevator this room (601) is extremely noisy - there's no sound isolation so the night starts off at midnight with screaming kids and ends at 3-5 with screaming (college) kids or some random people talking on the balcony-corridor; I had to buy ear plugs. The internet is wire only (wifi and iMac in lobby) but uncharacteristically stable and decent speed for a hotel.

Not too far from the beach

Hotel was decent, good enough for the money. If you have a car, it's kinda weird, you have to go park in some off site parking structure a few blocks away. Bring an umbrella cause it wouldn't be too fun to walk it in the rain. No pool. Hotel room was a good size, sheets were nice too.

ok for the price

It was clean room but no view. The A/C was alittle noisy. Could have provided some plates and silverware. Parking was full.had to park 2 blocks away. $18/day too high. The room was very plain but for the price ok. Next time I'll pay more and stay at nicer hotel.

My take on Waikiki Pearl

I spent 11 days here. It's close to the beach, easy 1/2 mile walking distance. Lots of places to eat nearby. Easy access to the trolley and the bus lines. I wish it would have had a gym and pool, next time I'll look for that. Staff was friendly and knowledgable. My room was clean, if I had to nitpick I would say the TV was on the smallish side. Overall, it was a good palce to stay for the money and except for not having the pool and gym I would recommend it to anyone that doesnt need those things.

Hole in the wall place

We were there for a destination wedding and the wedding party stayed at this hotel. The 2-bedroom suites were much roomier than your standard rooms. The nice thing about the standard room was the fact it had a microwave and fridge so it helped to do some grocery shopping and save a few bucks on food. The $20/night parking pass was ridiculous! In the morning you can walk next door and there was Starbucks! If you're trying to save money but want to stay at a decent hotel, this is not a bad place to stay at. I would stay here at Aqua Waikiki Pearl again unless I can find somewhere else where they don't charge you a parking fee.
