Stayed here Feb 7-12. The hotel is located right in the middle of EVERYTHING in Waikiki. The staff are SUPER FRIENDLY and helpful. We were expecting it to be really noisy based on the reviews we read, but it was not a problem at all! We're used to city noise, so we didn't even have to use the earplugs provided.... More

If you are looking for a clean, friendly place to stay near the International Center, great restaurants, evening street performers and the beach, this will do fine. It does have it's quirks. We decided on it because A) There was a limited choice of affordable hotel rooms available because of Pro Bowl. B) We read these reviews on tripadvisor. Most... More

Stayed at this hotel from Feb 4-Feb 11. Positives first. The location is one of the best. It's smack in the center of Waikiki. There's a bus stop right in front of the hotel which is very convenient. It's right beside the International Market. There are two Starbucks nearby. There's also a udon place across the street which served freshly... More

Aloha and mahalo for your review, I agree with you, our location is very popular with so many of our guests. The udon restaurant across the street offers a reasonably priced meal with a healthy portion. Starbucks on both sides of the property help our guests maintain their caffeine levels in their bodies. The arrival for our guests is still... More

Very good hotel. Motivated staff. Located 2 blocks from the beach in the heart of the Waikiki tourist neighborhood and right next to the International Market and its wonderful Food Court. Called hotel directly and their rate was less than Trevelocity, Expedia, etc.with only 1 night penalty for late cancellation of reservation. Some of the other sites would charge you... More

We enjoyed our 6 night stay. The hotel was very comfortable. Frank at the front desk was very helpful. We would definitely stay at this hotel again as it was so close to the beach and the center of everything fun in Waikiki. Some reviewers mentioned noise as a problem. No problem for us. More

Met the manager Kathy at the managers reception and her learning that we were here for our anniversary she sent us up a bottle of champagne to our room! That's great service!!

Aloha and mahalo for taking the time to write this review. Being centrally located in Waikiki has a few drawbacks; however the positives far outweigh them. At night, we have 2 Security Officers on duty 7 days a week. They are there to assist our guests and to secure the building and surrounding area. Our location is very popular with... More
