Parking was affordable but limited if you come back to room late. The rooms need updating, bed needs new mattress and bathroom shower deep cleaning. Room service only by request, the plus side they have a laundry room. Our bathroom had very limited counter space, same for kitchenette. The best part was the morning complimentary banana bread. Most staff was very friendly and a few that were not helpful. Amazing view surrounding the resort.

The was a restaurant option called Sera that we did enjoy their happy hour one-day, but we mainly found ourselves getting breakfast options from Paris Baguette that was also connected to the hotel. There was a spa, but we didn't partake in it. I only went to the spa to get the beach towels for the swimming pool. That has a patio terrace area and a jacuzzi, also a lap pool. The wait staff was nice, but housekeeping would not always respond when you called for assistance. I had to go to the front desk a couple times to get ahold.of housekeeping, to get like extra bath towels. There is also a shuttle that will drop you off along the Waikiki Beach strip to get you really close to the beach and other touristy spots in Oahu. Also I thought it was nice that the hotel provided complimentary beach chairs on a 1st come, 1st serve basis. My friends and I got lucky enough to get 4 of them one day for out beach visit. Not to mention the location of this hotel is convenient for a near by shopping mall, Target, Don Quixote, a variety of restuarants, and even the location of our rental car place. I enjoyed my stay in Renaissance and would definitely stay again for the location preference.

It makes it worse because they build a $25 spend on your resort fees for the restaurants and this is what they serve you.

We had to request towels by going downstairs because no one was answering the phone. It's 8-2026 so maybe wait until 2028 to let them straighten it up or else you have been warned Horrible.

The layout of our room was a little strange and the bathroom was very dated, but overall everything was fine for our needs. WiFi was strong, which was important for us because we both needed to work while there. The only restaurant in the building was closed for renovations or something, so there was no room service. There are plenty of restaurants within walking distance, although most did not seem to keep standard hours of operation - some only open for lunch, some only open for dinner, some only open weekdays, etc., and they don't necessarily adhere to whatever Google says, so you kind of just have to take your chances. Staff were really friendly and helpful with storing some stuff we needed to keep frozen, and also when we needed to extend our stay 1 night. This isn't somewhere I'd make a point to return to for a vacation, but as a crash pad while spending the majority of our time visiting a friend in the hospital, it was totally fine, centrally located, and budget-friendly.

These are just rooms. It's like an upscale camping experience. You do share showers & toilets and there is a blow dryer!! . But it is not what you would assume. People were very friendly, respectful, & just humble! It's like taking a shower at the gym after a workout! My hubby & I are trying to enjoy every bit of hawaii without draining our account. We really want to experience camping but with 2 toddlers (3 & 2 year olds) we weren't sure if we were capable of handling 2 kids and the wilderness. This place gave us the opportunity to assess ourselves. We packed beach gears, our own grill, a Crock pot, the rice cooker, our frozen marinate, the perculator for the cold nights of kaneohe in December and off we went. The first night we checked in it was really chilly out and too dark to explore. So we went straight to bed...beds were nice and soft. Too soft for me but was comfortable . Next day it was so windy out we went to the cottage side beaches for grilling & beaching. It was breath taking. Kids played all day on the beach and didn't want to leave. It was our first night as well to try the showers! The shower room is key card entry only so you know each person there is checked in and is a guest as well. The showers are nicely HOT!!! My whole family had great HOT SHOWERS during our stay...which was much needed on our cold windy nights out. All rooms has air conditioning so that was nice. We really spoiled ourselves calling this a camping experience. Lol. But it was a good price for all the amenities. Bring Clorox wipes. Any spill of food ants come out. It doesn't bother me I grew up in Guam (it's an island thang) so I just wipe them off and clean as I go each time I or my kids have meals. And if you forgot ANY THING at home....MCX Shoppette near the main gate amazingly has everything! That was an A plus! Last day we spent it at the SUPER PLAYGROUND. The kids loved it. There was a barbecue pit nearby so we grilled some kalbi while children had a blast. It was a nice 4 day weekend well spent with the family. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone.

The added furniture and electronics are a 22 inch flat screen inside an entertainment system, dvd player, a desk, small dining table able to seat three people, and a sliding mirror closet. Space is limited for storage with 4 people but doable. The kitchen has a sink, coffee maker, microwave, and refrigerator and drying rack. Also, comes with utensils, tongs, and spatula for grilling. Recycling and general waste bins included. Cabinets for food storage is adequate. No stove top or hot plate. Bathroom sink is tucked into a hallway and the bathtub with shower and toilet are inside an adjacent room. Showerhead is extremely clogged and no longer sprays but comes out in a stream. Water pressure is fine. Bathroom smells of mold. Outdoor play area has a small playground area with a couple of climbing rocks and small trees. Grounds are well kept. Permanent gazebo with outdoor furniture suitable for a couple of family's is at the center. Nice quiet atmosphere. Hotel amenities include high speed wireless Internet (D/L speed upwards of 1 mb/s but dependent on time of day), breakfast is catered daily and consists of pasteries, pancakes, eggs, sausage, rice, grits, and cereal on most days. Also includes milk, orange juice, apple juice, and coffee for beverages. Maid service can be provided daily if necessary. Grills are provided with propane and cleaning brush for public use. It's an affordable location to stay at and with just a few minor tweaks would be **** worthy instead of three.

Our room was on the 14th floor and I requested that ours face the mountains. It was a peaceful view onto the Ala Wai canal where there were rowing teams, people walking. There was street noise from cars and trucks occasionally. Restaurants, the International Market., Target, ABC stores, and a popular udon place, are less than a block away. Waikiki beach is about three blocks away. I started referring to the hotel as "home". it was easy to find the hotel while walking around as it has the pink trim. This came in handy for me one time. The room is more than double the size of similar ones in other hotels. The three of us could spread out and not feel cramped. Ask for beach towels at the front desk. There was a laundry basket in the closet although we didn't use the washer and dryer on the third floor. Also, two folding "tables" for carry-ons, and a safe. It was thoughtful to see unique, small touches. For example, in the bathroom, the glasses were not only covered in plastic, they were inverted and tied in a knot. . I've never see this in 60 years at many hotels. I noticed. We used the large-sized fridge and microwave. If you'd like to cook, there's an electric stove top, pots, pans, dish towels, new kitchen sponge and new mini dish soap. Thank you, Ilima Hotel!!

The outdoor pool is small but pretty, and there's a little outdoor bar right at the entrance. You can tell they take eco friendly measures seriously too. Rene and Gwen deserve a special shoutout. They were phenomenal, so friendly and helpful the whole time we were there. A few things to keep in mind though. The lobby is very small, and parking can be tricky so plan ahead for that. You can pay for overnight covered parking too but we found free parking on street. This is an older hotel with only one elevator, so if you're on a lower floor stairs are probably faster. Our room's shower faucet was leaky and didn't have much pressure, and the room felt musty at times so we made sure to keep the door shut since it's humid outside. Some of the bottom boards in the room were also slightly coming off. Housekeeping made the bed but didn't change the sheets each time, and they never refilled the body wash, shampoo, or conditioner in the dispensers. After asking the third time they came by and did full service, so it was good. They said the pool closes at 7, but we saw a group in there past 8, so that policy doesn't seem to be enforced heavily. It's not quite a true 4 star experience compared to other places, but for Hawaii standards it's a great stay. Solid 3-4 star hotel overall and has all your bare minimum needs!
