Modern and the Favorite son’s coffee was amazing. The macadamia nut latte is a must have. Everything about the facilities is great. From valet service to front desk and the cleaning staff. Everyone was friendly l. I’ll even include the one security guard that I bugged about taking an umbrella. I didn’t btw. But great service.

I booked this property because of the great reviews it had and the pictures made it seem decent. If you've heard the saying "lipstick on a farm animal" that would hold true to the property in general. The building area where we stayed was spruced up with paint but it was clear the changes were only cosmetic. The carpet in the room was really grungy needing to be replaced or at least cleaned. There was a dead bug in the bathroom which remained despite the "cleaning" that was done during our stay. The sliding door had didn't close tightly so it sounded like the outside world was inside - late at night there were people screaming on the streets and it made me feel unsafe. The partial ocean view was a joke - if you stood at the edge of the balcony, you could espy the ocean. Not worth the extra I paid for sure. Overall I was disappointed with the property due to the lack of general cleanliness and the superficial updates that were done. It just felt dirty and unsafe. It also has mandatory valet parking so means you have to spend even more money for a rental car. This hotel is not close to the beach. I would not recommend nor stay here again.

A place to sleep but not much more.

I felt the design of the hotel lacked the warmth and welcoming atmosphere that I was expecting, especially with reception outside and the lobby being just a thoroughfare. Also, housekeeping was not great at keeping items stocked in the room (towels, toilet paper, soap in the dispensers, Kleenex, etc).

For the price this is a great choice in Waikiki. It’s not on the beach, but the upper ocean view rooms have a pretty good view. Beautiful sunset skies. Housekeeping is a little inconsistent, but they do an OK job they provide you with the “Aloha Line“ which allows you to text for any supplies you need The pool area is lovely with a wheelchair lift down the stairs to access the area and a mobile lift available to get into the pool pool towel availability was not plentiful, but they did their best to ensure there were towels available I would think a four star hotel would have a glass glasses and coffee mugs in the room, but only paper coffee cups were provided The wheelchair accessible 16th floor suite was a really nice room. The bed was very comfortable. There was lots of space and a niceroll in shower. Service from all the staff was excellent. All very helpful and pleasant. Food and drinks at the restaurant are great. No decaf espresso, which was kind of a bummer, but they made a great London fog a little on the pricey side Great stay overall. Would’ve been perfect if it would’ve been on the water., but it also would’ve been double the price

It has a really cute vibe and design! The staff and valet were really nice. The receptionists and front desk could be dismissive. They don’t clean every day and when they do, they do the bare minimum- like they don’t even take the dirty towels or change linens or remove trash that isn’t fully in the trash can. At one point, I realized they weren’t even wiping the entire counter just around the sink and I would find hair on the floors showing they didn’t fully sweep. Other than that, the restaurant is cool just pricey and food is not the best. It’s in a good location, price can be good but daily fees and valet fees and parking fees can add up super fast. It could get noisy at times as well, made it hard to keep the balcony open especially if you faced the city at all.
