    Great stay in Waikiki

    I stayed at this hotel while on trip to Waikiki Beach in Oahu. Hotel was easy to find by bus and you get dropped off right at the corner. You are welcomed with cool towels and pineapple juice. The room with double bed is a little small and the rooms are decorated in modern décor but there is some wear and tear on walls. The cleaning staff prepares your room to immaculate condition everyday. Toiletries are excellent. Major flaw is lack of minirefrigerator in room in the room. Instead you have a beverage cooler but you will probably have a lot of leftovers after eating out in Waikiki everyday. The breakfast also only consists of breads and wish it included other things like fruits or cereals. The lady who runs the breakfast bar is very friendly and helpful. And the kona coffee and pineapple juice are delicious. The location is excellent at this end of Waikiki because its a few steps walk to the beach and is close to ABC store and multiple restaurants. You can head out and walk the length of Waikiki strip and even walk to Diamond Head crater.

    good hotel near beach

    This was a very nice hotel near the beach. The room is nicely decorated but on closer inspection it was not perfect. A few of the fluorescent lights in the bathroom were dim. Also the automatic light controller did not seem to work correctly. Overall it was a great hotel though and we really enjoyed our time there.

    Paradise in Paradise

    Renew was absolutely wonderful. The moment I arrived, I was greeted at the front desk with a glass of juice and warm towel. I was a little hesitant to stay at a boutique hotel, but it was definitely worthwhile. There aren't any huge amenities like a gym or swimming pool, but it is so close to the beach you can do without. The staff is EXCELLENT. I did not have a single negative encounter with any of the employees. Every time I came in or left the hotel, it was all smiles and a staff that was ready to meet whatever my needs were. Overall a very well run hotel that will only add onto a great vacation. I would definitely recommend this hotel!

    Great Value

    Selected because of location near Honolulu Marathon finish line. But only one block from Waikiki Beach and a couple blocks from the Honolulu Zoo and Kapiolani Park. Staff extremely helpful. Room small but very clean and well appointed. Japanese style decor.

    Honeymoon

    Hotel is pretty small compared to aston waikiki and other big hotels, but it looks very modern and the price is really good compared to the others. Staff is friendly and the free continental breakfast is good. Lots of restaurants and shopping along the beach walk which is located right across the street. One bad thing is you have to pay for valet parking which is $25 a night.

    Family vacation

    The location of the hotel was just amazing. Very close to the beach. I mean you could be at the beach in like 3-5 minutes on foot. Which was very convenient. The room was not big. But it was very comfortable for the two of us. I liked the contemporary style of the rooms and hotel. It was kind of spa like. The bathroom was very nice and clean too. Nice tiles good tub shower combination. I am very picky about that. It got my full approval. The beds were a little bit on the soft side. On the mattresses they had an extra feather filled paddings and down comforters, those felt really nice. The staff was very friendly too. The breakfast was good. We had a great time at this hotel. We would go back there.

    Great Staycation

    Booked the room after reading reviews online and saw the great reviews. I live locally but wanted to stay in town for a night. The location is great but was a little tricky to find because of the small front. I passed by it once and had to circle around because it is on a one-way street but it wasn't a big deal. Staff greeted me when I pulled up into garage and received a friendly reception with chilled juice and chilled face towel. Room was very clean and well laid out. I was very impressed with everything about the hotel and didn't have a single complaint. I will definitely be staying here for my future weekend "staycations".
