The room was excellent along with the valet staff was amazing. The downfall was the staff at breakfast service at the deck restaurant, they were slow and unattentive. I had to get up multiple times to ask for more coffee and water as the wait staff was conversating instead of taking care of the customers. For those high prices, better service is expected. The pool need better maintenance and attention to the hotel guests.

This hotel feels like it had a facelift but you can still feel the age of it, with the exception of the pool deck. The view from pool of an unimpeded view of Diamond Head, that really you can’t get anywhere else. But that is unfortunately the highlight of the hotel. The rooms are just ok. The A/C in room was right next to the bed and kept switching on/off all night so not great for sleep. The bathroom was a step above grimy, so also had seen better days. Location was great for being at the Diamond Head side of Waikiki with quick walk to the less crowded beach areas and great access to the Zoo and Barefoot Beach Cafe at Queen’s Surf Beach.
