This is a great hotel with good prices for the Waikiki area. Service is great and the amenities are enough to keep the average traveler happy (I'm just an average traveler). The Koko Cafe inside the hotel is really good. I would recommend getting the breakfast buffet at least once while you are there. The only catch with this hotel... More

Right on Waikiki Beach. Happy's and the Barefoot Bar are the greatest! Sit right on the beach or under the Bannion Tree, and just minutes from shopping. You can't beat the location, price and amenities.

stayed May10 - 17. I booked a deluxe ocean front room and an ocean front room. The ocean front was on the 8th floor and the view was gorgeous.The deluxe ocean front room was on the 5th floor so the view was somewhat obstructed. I did request a higher floor but none was available. The room was not elaborate but... More

The good: excellent pricing for rooms and drinks at Barefoot Bar...the poolside bar service...steps from Waikiki (don't expect to be impressed with Waikiki-dirty, gravelly- go find a pretty beach somewhere else) The bad: the room decor is atrocious and there is no wifi in rooms...have to go to one of the cafes I guess. Couldn't use my iPad at all... More

This hotel is the best bargain in Waikiki, with wonderful rooms, restaurants, bars, pools, discounted tours and Luaus. It is located next door to the Hilton Waikiki Village, but merely a fraction of their price. The only catch is that you must be connected to military either active duty, retired, etc. Their website provides detailed eligibility criteria. We stayed there... More

This hotel was a true joy. You can not beat the cost and all of the benefits. The grounds were beautiful, the restaurants were fabulous and service was superb. The parking was only seven dollars a day. The exchange was very convenient and had quite a large selection. Then Nex was less then eight miles away making the location that... More

Stayed at this hotel for 3 nights May 10-13, 2013. Was really impressed by the facility but the check-in process really leaves something to be desired. Had to stand in a line for 25-30 minutes to reach the reception desk. I was given a room with a double bed. I'm 6'-3".\, so this wouldn't work. Called the desk and asked... More

If I could, I would give this hotel an extra 1/2 star. We would normally not qualify to stay at this military hotel except that the hotel was hosting an event and my husband was one of the guests of honor. As such, we were allowed a brief stay. The grounds are beautiful and the location can't be beat....just a... More

We stayed for a quick five day jaunt to Hawaii. The location can't be beat, it shares a beach with the Hilton Hawaiian Village so tours are quite convenient and all the amenities you could want are very close. The rooms are average, very "billeting" feeling. The staff is only okay, not terribly friendly but not unfriendly. The food was... More
