I booked the Outrigger Regency on Beachwalk as it was my 3rd trip to Honolulu, and knowing how far most hotels in the area are from the beach, decided that beachfront was not needed.
The Staff were great in helping me get a room early as my flight arrived into Honolulu from Sydney at 7am. By the time getting to Waikiki it was only 8am, and check-in is not til 2pm. I got a room straight away and it was fantastic.
My room ended up being right opposite the elevator, which i thought might become noisy at night with people coming in at late hours.. But i didnt notice much noise as i wasnt disturbed.
Having a 1 bedroom apartment was great due to the full kitchen. I didnt make use of the stove, but i stocked the fridge with some breakfast and the freezer with some naughty goodies.
The bed was so comfortable, and the lounge is even better than the bed, as i fell asleep one night on the lounge and woke up around 3am to realise i was still on the lounge and not in the bed. That was how comfy it was.
The location is great, as it is not stuck between all the other hotels, but only a short walk to most. I am a big Hard Rock Cafe fan - and this location was great as it was only a 1 minute walk to the cafe from the hotel. There is also a 7 eleven only a 2-3 minute walk aswell on the same Street.
The beach at Fort de Russy park is only about a 3-5 minute walk, and was the place i watched my first amazing sunset from for the trip.
The hotel had everything i needed, comfortable room, updated furniture and fixtures and great staff. I would stay here again next time i go.
