Won’t go again

Our room was small. Bed was old and sagging in the center which made it difficult to sleep. The rest of the room was slightly dirty and outdated. Had the room been cleaner I would have slept in the tile floor instead of the bed that folded like a taco!

The room was small but liked that it was filled with all the essentials like scuba gear, boogie board, books and stuff for the beach. Didnt like that they wanted to charge a cleaning fee of almost $300 upon check in for a room that noone cleaned until after we left. We negotiated it and got it reduced. Had to go to another room for clean towels and stuff for the bathroom. Weird. They should bring it.

Confusion on checkin

We were not aware Castle Grand was not the main hotel but separate company with rooms in the hotel. Because checkin was an actual Room and not a lobby desk seemed sketchy.

Building is run down. The castle grand is an older section of the Waikiki Grand that is condo owned.. Our choice said it was 400sq ft and showed ok room pics. Trouble is nothing on the web site matched the actual room itself.. It was around 260 sqft, very tiny bath with an almost non existent sink.. Had a double bed wedged between a column in the middle of the room and a wall.. Only way in was to climb over the end of the bed.. And the bed was like sleeping in a folding taco shell. No drapes only broken window shades that allowed the night light in the room making it hard to sleep.. 1001, do not take this room....

We chose the property primarily for the location and walkability of the area. The property itself is a little dated but clean. Friendly staff. The swimming pool was cold and shaded early, it could be updated there, though frankly we did not spend any time in the pool until the last day before we had to leave.

It is obviously an old facility. With that being said, the location is great. The view from the 10th floor is magnificent. Could use some refurbishment, but would stay there again.

Loved the location, staff were very friendly. Room decor was a bit "tired", but clean and comfortable. Booked through 3rd party and did not get room promised. Luckily I had printed receipt when asked to pay a higher amount. I paid extra to have balcony and tub, our room had neither. Although my spouse's arthritis would have appreciated the tub, our windows had much better view than "city view" balcony rooms. We were also at end of outdoor corridor, the quietest area available. Park & Zoo across the street, beach one short block away, Bus routes within a block. Would gladly refer friends stay here...but book through the property if feasible.
