close to the beach...good price
The hotel was very close to the beach (1 block) and in a great location. I enjoyed the rooms...very clean. The bathroom was REALLY small and the noise from the trucks on the street at 7am were a daily annoyance. I bought ear plugs and slept better. For the closeness to the beach at the price - very worth it. Did not eat at any of the hotel restaurants. Plenty of other good places to eat near the hotel.

Very pleasantly surprised - No regrets!
The hotel is a tremendous value for the money. We stayed here based upon previous user reviews and we couldn't agree more! The hotel is in a terrific location within walking distance to many attractions. Waikiki Beach is a short block and easy walk away, as is a McDonalds, Subway, coffee shops and ABC Convenience stores. Within a couple blocks are the zoo, International Market, KFC, and many fine places to eat. Staff was excellent and accommodating. Free beach towels are available and there are washer & dryers available to use in the basement for $1 per load. Our room was updated and spotless! We had a mini-frig, but wish we had a coffee maker and a micowave. Each room has a safe but we didn't have any theft issues leaving our stuff out. We tipped housekeeping staff $5 per day and we were treated like royalty! Best $35 for the week that we spent! Parking on site(beneath hotel)was expensive at $18 per night. Off the lobby is an Internet room with three computers to use for free, with free Internet access. Computers are attached to a printer which is also free, and allowed us to print our boarding passes and directions to attractions/restaurants. We were on 14th floor and elevators were extremely quick. Due to large hotels around this one, there was no view of Waikiki Beach or Diamond Head from our room. Pool was small but we didn't use it and enjoyed the beach instead. We would definately stay here again. Check out is at noon. We had a 4:30PM departure and the staff allowed us to stay in our room until 2PM!

Money-saving tip:
Short walk from hotel
Buy your souvenirs at the ABC store or at the International Market. Be sure to negotiate the price at the market! We found some great deals there towards the center of the market, but not near the entrance. Be sure to eat at Teddy's Bigger Burgers across from the zoo and within walking distance, as was Round Table Pizza & Sports Bar near Kings Village. You must visit Arizona Memorial(free), climb Diamond Head ($5 per car) for spectacular views, and visit Hanauma Bay ($5 pp) state park which is a beach & marine preserve where you swim with fish and sea turtles - an awesome adventure. Buy a underwater disposable camera at the ABC store for $12 to bring with you. At Dillingham Airfield on North shore our 18 year old went skydiving at Skydive Hawaii; great people and half price for students! Spend the extra money and great pictures of the jump! Giovanni's Shrimp trucks on the north shore were a let down for the money. The Dole Planation was great and the maze was a blast! Ask for a free map of the maze when you enter. It took us 80 minutes without one! The pineapple icecream was very good! On Hawaiian Air website, we booked a day trip for four to Maui, with a rental car, for $385 and traveled the Road to Hana, visited the black sand beaches, and saw the Seven Sacred Pools! Money well spend to us. Send this link to your family & friends with a time and date you'll be at this statue, then wave hello to them! We had a blast with this and the statute is only a block away from the hotel! Aloha! http://www.honolulu.gov/multimed/waikiki.asp

Great Waikiki Location
Only 1 block from popular Waikiki beach, shopping and dining experiences. Rooms were on the small side, no tub - only a shower stall, but comfortable enough. Only real complaint was the noise every morning at 5 am from the garbage collectors. Patio door rattled with the wind. This was a good hotel to call home base - didn't spend much time there except to sleep.

great deal - reasonable
The room was adequate with small fridge, dresser, 2 double beds and small balcony. Would have liked to have an included small microwave in room. Great flat screen TV. Room cleaned daily by friendly staff. Pool towels provided down in housekeeping. Close to zoo and aquarium. Took local bus to Hanauma Bay, Aloha Stadium, Diamond Head and Ala Moana Shopping Centre. Has 24 hr laundry facilities (coin operated) but only 3 washers and 3 dryers. Pool was small and under utilized by other guests. Pool had 4-6' depth. Front desk were pleasant and welcoming. Hotel has gift shop and restaurant (we never ate there)
