    Grease stain on door
    Rachel B.

    AVOID AVOID AVOID. Good location, but that's it, the photos on their website are deceiving. The rooms are small, outdated and incredibly dirty. Upon check in my microwave had popcorn grease on the bottom, there were weird stains/messes on the sliding glass door and the bottom of the room door, and there were crumbs under the sheets of the pull out couch. I let them manager know and even emailed pictures, she said she would have them clean it. When we returned they hadn't cleaned A SINGLE THING. They made the bed and replaced the coffee and didn't clean. Horrible experience, their excuse was they were fully booked and focused on getting the new rooms ready!!

    I love this hotel very much!! The staff is very kind and welcoming. We ate the complementary breakfast here every morning because it was so good!! My favorite was the different fruits they put out and the blueberry muffins. We stayed on the 18th floor (right below the penthouse) and our view was amazing. The description says partial beach view, which is true, but you can still see the beautiful blue water all day, and if you look from the other side you will see diamond head. Our room was pretty small, but it worked for my family of 3. There were 2 beds, both full sized beds (which is a bit hard to squeeze 2 people in, but we made it work!) The shower does have a bathtub but it's very tiny, but it would be good for children. The shower faucet is very confusing though but one of us knew how to work it so it was alright. The room we stayed in did not have a microwave, but it did have a mini fridge. Down by the pool there is a station to fill up water bottles (ice and water!), a soda vending machine, and a microwave. Speaking about the pool, it is a pretty decent sized pool. Nothing amazing but it's definitely a good size and very refreshing! There are lots of tables and chairs around the pool as well. I would definitely stay here again if I came back! Thank you :)

    As you step into this hotel, you'll be greeted by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The front desk team is friendly and efficient, making check-in a seamless experience. While our room was desperately due for an upgrade, it still offered comfortable beds and amazing water pressure in the shower. The room supplied a Keurig coffee maker, refrigerator, and TV, providing all the basic essentials. Nothing fancy. The city view was a lovely bonus, especially considering our last-minute booking. The complimentary breakfast on the second floor offers a unique spread, featuring cold cuts, sweet bread, hard-boiled eggs, and fresh fruit. A large area for toasting bread. It's okay if you want hot coffee and a snack before heading out for the day. If you're looking for a more traditional breakfast, the restaurant downstairs serves an excellent meal at a fair price. I recommend the restaurant downstairs. I had my breakfast there several times during my stay. The pool area is clean and well-maintained, with plenty of shade and fresh beach towels available in the basement. The staff that gives you your towels are very helpful and friendly. The hotel's is in a great location just steps away from the beach and within walking distance to numerous shops and restaurants. Overall, this hotel offers a good blend of comfort, convenience, and value. Nothing fancy but it's definitely not the worst place you can stay in.

    Friendly and courteous staff! Clean rooms and only 2 minute walk to the beach and shopping. Branden whom checked us in remembered us mentioning we are here to celebrate our girls birthdays and had a sweet gift and card for them!

    Aloha I've stayed here so many times I've lost count. The hotel staff are like family too me. Its in a great location, the rooms are well stocked and always clean. The house keeping staff do a exceptional job. I always enjoy my stay here. The Ilima restaurant is great for breakfast . The hotel is centrally located in the heart of Waikiki which makes it easy access to restaurants, entertainment & shopping. I highly recommend the Waikiki Resort Hotel Mahalo Sandy Dominguez

    We've stayed here about 8 times in the last 10 to 12 years, so just about every year. The wife & I call it our home away from home. Conveniently located next to everything, beach, shops, & of course the ABC Stores for quick snacks & drinks. I just want to give a Big Mahalo to front desk staff & reservationist's, Sherri & Derek for their great hospitality & warm Aloha welcome. Hope to see you guys again, soon !! Regards, Anthony & Valerie Aguas

    We were impressed with how clean the general appearance is and how close to the beach it is. My fiancé is quite particular with cleanliness. This location passed the test.

    # g r a t e f u l (Ohana Family ) I wish I could remember everyone's name I can tell you this you are not going to be disappointed from the time your car hits the driveway you are going to be treated like family with the utmost respect I have stayed here on several occasions I recently just booked a week for my family to come from the mainland this location is so convenient to everything definitely don't forget to get a fun car just down the street and don't forget they offer free breakfast if you get up early whatever early is in Hawaii I am here forever I am never leaving Paradise I'm going to create as much love enjoy as possible before my big party paddle out

    For a mid-tier priced hotel this was a really bad experience for us. We initially planned our stay here for 3 nights, but checked out after the first night and went somewhere else. It took us a good 30+ minutes to check in... the exterior and lobby are very misleading to the individual rooms. Our 2-rooms were extremely rundown, congested, dirty and just smelled like nasty wet/moldy carpet! They are centrally located so if you're not OCD like my family, this might be a place for you on a budget. Additionally the 'free breakfast' was one boiled egg and a single nature valley bar and an extremely think-oily chocolate glazed donut. A few people in our party are unable to eat this type of breakfast diet, when asked if they have alternatives the guy literally said 'this is free what do you expect'. Overall if you're able to spend an extra $25-$50/night, do that and go somewhere else!

    I thought overall for the price that this hotel was pretty good. Very close location to the beach and a lot of touristy shops and restaurants. I thought the pool layout was great and had VERY comfy pool chairs with a lot of padding. The pool however was very cold. We received buy 1 get 1 free breakfast buffet coupons for the restaurant inside. It was a nice touch and the breakfast was good. The buffet is $15.95/person so that gives you an idea of the quality/level of this hotel. I came here to celebrate my birthday and after check in (few hours later) we received a happy birthday welcome card and a little box of the Honolulu company cookies - nice touch! The room's bed was comfortable. I like how the room had a separate bar area with a sink. The TV in the room was very small. Probably the smallest TV I've seen in a hotel room. The bathroom sink there was not much shelf space for items, but the shower itself was very big and had good shower pressure. Check in was efficient and the lady DEE was super friendly. Overall, it just feels like a basic 3 star hotel nothing fancy but if you are traveling on a budget and want to save your money for more activities and dinners, then come here. There was always staff around in the lobby to help assist you. Would come back again for the right price.

    What's the parking situation?

    They have an outdoor parking lot as well as in under ground garage. I prefer the outdoor lot as the underground garage has tight spaces. It is self parking no valet. There is a daily fee. Contact the hotel for the fee.

    Is there microwave?

    The better rooms, suites, do for sure

    Embassy suites Waikiki 2123…read more Bed - nice and comfy. Little movement from partner. Mattress was a Serta Perfect Sleeper Plush mattress. Hotel offers different types of pillows in the room and spare blanket in armoire. Also in the armoire is hangers, an ironing board and steaming iron, which came in handy for those wrinkled linen shirts mashed in my suitcase. The Bathroom. - one sink with a little counter top space but sufficient. The toilet was also bidet in the master bath. The shower pressure on 21st is ok but low, but it did the job. The Ac in room was awesome! It gets super cold, if you need it, quickly. It was nice for those hot humid days of walking in Waikiki. It had an In-room mini fridge and bar sink with 4 real drinking glasses, which I like. Hated there was no freezer in the mini fridge But the bell hop station offers to freeze ice packs, or whatever you need, for you. We had 3 sliding doors with west views and moderate views of Waikiki beach. The Second bedroom has own bath with also a single sink, toilet and shower- No bidet. The room/bedding/bathrooms were clean with no mold in the showers. The furniture showed a little wear but nothing excessive. The Elevators were fast! The pool, mangers reception and breakfast are all on the 4th Floor (terrace level). Breakfast was typical of Embassy Suites, I like the made to order omelette which makes it much better. Lots of fresh fruit and even some miso soup and other Japanese/Hawaiian offerings. The Staff was awesome and super friendly. I Used valet every day. Great service, fast and practical IMO but hard to swallow the daily fee. The hotel was attacked to the Waikiki beach walk. Island vintage coffee was a regular stop for coffee and sometimes breakfast. Order coffee or food to go online after 8am to save a ton of time standing in line. Hotel was Very close to all ththe shops. Awesome location. Much better location than Hilton Hawaiian village location!!! Our fav restaurant close by the hotel was Kana Pilla and Monkey Pod, which were across the street. Make sure to make Open Table reservations for both way ahead of time. I did mine 2 months out. Housekeeping willing to clean and supply new towels daily however linens are not cleaned but every 5 day, unless you request it, which they are happy to do! Views from 21st floor were awesome and all 21st floor rooms had extensive balconies. 3 sliding doors. Keep in mind Ac doesn't work, yes the fan blows, when the doors are open!! It's too humid at night to sleep with them open so we had them open for select times, mostly am. There's a Washer/dryer laundry room on site, 3rd floor only. It was Very convenient especially packing 4 days of clothes for a 10 day trip so our suitcases weren't stuffed . Use laundry room on sundays/mon or late evenings when people are too busy arriving and leaving. $5.25 to each wash load and I think $4.75 to dry. Washers only wash with cold which I like. Perm press on dryer seemed to dry all our shirts and socks well. We hung our nice Aloha shirts on the hangers in the room and they dried within a day. Washer and dryers take credit cards. Yes they're is a soap machine that also takes credit cards. I didn't use and just bought soap from ABC. ABC stores are EVERYWHERE so don't lug around suntan lotion or waters in your suitcase. Just buY at ABC which is only 20 steps away. FYI ABC doesn't no GIVE out bags for items unless you spend over a certain amount. ANC bags cost like .50 cents. ABC has Awesome poke and alcohol (spirit and beer) choices. Yes single purchase tall beers too. Don't forget the free brief fireworks show in front of the Hilton Hawaii Village on Friday nights only. We saw them set off at 7:45p by the lagoon. It's amazing how many people attend so be prepared for the crowds to and from. Big tip: make open table reservations for all your restaurants months ahead! All places are super busy until about 8:45 pm on most nights. Hope I helped.

First things first- the food offered at the buffet in the Veranda restaurant is delicious and with a wide variety to choose from! Salmon, smoked salmon, parfaits, fried rice, potatoes to a number of different juices- take your pick! I didn't take many photos in our hotel room that weekend but I loved every inch! There is a cute booth area with modern touches where you can play cards, have your meals, set your luggages down, etc. The view of the ocean and of diamond head was my favorite part of our stay. It's so picturesque like how you would envision a picture on a postcard! The one thing that I thought they could improve on is limiting how long each party can occupy a chair at the pool area. We saw that folks would reserve seats by placing their items on the chairs they wanted, but remained unused for long periods of time. There has got to be a timer for folks using these chairs. I highly recommend this hotel and can't wait to return to the breakfast buffet at the Veranda again:)

This hotel, being the most expensive I have stayed at, is by far the worst of all of them. This includes the hyatt regency, the princess Kaiulani, Hilton Hawaiian Village & the Waikiki beach Marriot. I booked this room via Amex Platinum travel. Ok, the pluses: location, beauty, very comfortable bed and relaxing rocking chairs on the porch. The negatives: Room was in the old building, no where did it mention there is no lanai. NO LANAI. The rooms that have it are far more expensive I come to find out. I booked a ocean front "renovated" King. Ok, so no Lanai, and no Japanese toilet. WHAT? How is that possible? Waikiki was the first place I ever experienced a bidet toilet. Even in the crap hotel like the princess. There is zero way to get a chaise lounge at the pool, I woke up at 8:15 and went down bc I was on pacific time and all the lounge chairs had a towel over em like the pools in vegas. Disappointing, Ok, no room service, and no makeup mirror. Those are my complaints for the room. My only other complaint about the hotel is the valet. They quote you 25 min to get your car but both times it has been 40. I will also say there are weddings going on on the fri and sat pm I stayed here. That is fine, but even with my windows shut I heard the music LOUD. It was an Indian wedding so there was a lot of drumming. I asked if there were other rooms avail. but i knew there wouldn't be. I tried the 57.00 breakfast buffet and I have to say it was just not good. The made to order omelet and the man who cooked it was awesome, but the rest of the buffet was just meh. prison scrambled eggs, fruit, a pancake, a horrible eggs benedict. Like I said just Meh. I also tried to door dash and the driver was not allowed to leave it at my door so he was told to leave it at a door dash delivery table, but i had to ask 3 people where that was. I will compliment every employee, they have all been exceptionally nice. I just won't spend for this. I need a lanai. I need a Japanese toilet. I need to get my care quicker. (Hyatt was never more then a 10 min time quote) anyhow, I just felt compelled to yelp this bc a lot of people must be like me and thought this was exceptional. I find it a true 2.5 star hotel as far as compared to what else is right here.

WORDS TO DESCRIBE Halepuna Hotel: Modern, clean, safe, economically and environmentally friendly (bamboo room cards, water dispensers for your reusable water bottles), bright, airy, quality service in hospitality and room service LOCATION I loved staying at the Halepuna Hotel. It was centrally located at the beach walk, so ABC Store, shops, restaurants, and the beach were all within walking distance. *It was difficult finding the location of the hotel, when we first arrived. There was no big sign that you can spot, while you're driving, so my landmarks I always looked for were the ABC Store and Denny's. STAFF/SERVICE: Everyone that we came across during our stay was very friendly, generous, kind, and attentive. A shoutout to the Valet Service crew, especially RJ. He gave us recommendations for where to go. He always made us smile and laugh with his jokes. Thank you Uncle! AMENITIES: ROOMS Our room was equipped with charge stations-usb and usb c compatible plugs, ironing board/iron, mini fridge, ice bucket, tea kettle, and coffee maker. BATHROOM Well stocked with towels, a drying cord, blow dryer, shampoo, conditioner, and body wash. I appreciated that instead of your standard toilet, the hotel had bidets! *Great water pressure for showering.

I slept like a baby in the king sized bed! I also liked how there was a small kitchen with cookware and a microwave. We were celebrating a minimoon and were gifted a bottle of champagne, a bar of chocolate, and a lovely fruit platter. Service was impeccable, from check-in to dining to pool service. Breakfast was included in our stay and the food was quite impressive. Not only do you get the breakfast buffet, but you get to order as many small plates as you'd like (mind you, they're already quite filling), and one large plate. You can also take your leftovers to go. Honestly, I would eat breakfast and be set until dinner most days. At the pool, they also brought around ice cream or smoothies to keep guests refreshed. They did so pretty frequently. The pool was also never super busy, which was nice as we just came from another hotel where the pool was constantly packed. You do get a small view, but it's mostly blocked by other buildings. There's a decent gym that also was never super busy. It's on the same floor as the spa. We contemplated treatments, but ultimately never went.

    This hotel deserves more than 5 stars!…read more We've never been so impressed with a resort on the islands that we would think about going again in the same year! Great location, very accessible to stores and the beach, and also secluded in a sense you're not in the middle of all the hustle and bustle. We came as a family of three. Not only did they gave us a warm welcome, but they provided plenty of accommodations for our baby. A baby robe which was the cutest, but also a diaper genie baby bath tub and toiletries. We were so impressed! The room views were amazing and our room was upgraded which was a super plus! Breakfast was amazing! Our favorites were their mochi pancakes. They did have construction during our stay, but nothing to really get in our way. The service and accommodation were amazing! Thank you for our great stay Ka La'i! See you hopefully soon!

I've…read morenever stayed a hotel that had a water dispenser machine and provided water bottles in the room for refill so that was really nice! The front desk staff were very kind and helpful especially during the situation where our room was facing the construction across the street which ended up being a little loud for us so we had requested a new room away from that side and they had a room ready for us in 10 minutes with someone who came to move our luggage. Rooms were nice and clean and spacious we stayed in the diamond tower facing part of the parking garage with a view of part of the beach! It was still great to sit out on the balcony and watch the hustle and bustle of Waikīkī along with the sounds & views of the ocean! The location was across the street from the beach. They also have free beach towel dispenser which really came in handy but make sure you return it before midnight to avoid a charge! Lol. The parking garage was a little questionable as it is very tight and hard to find parking especially late at night so valet might be your best option or alerting the staff that there is no spot for self park they'll usually work something out to make sure you get one. The breakfast/brunch buffet was to die for! It is up there in price but my goodness it was phenomenal. I mean you're on vacation why not splurge a little?

The valet staff was friendly and efficient and everyone we interacted with was welcoming. Unfortunately, the room didn't match what I'd expect from a Hyatt Regency. There was a leaking bathroom faucet, a chipped sink, rust and water damage around the bathroom door, dark buildup around the shower fixture, heavily stained blackout curtains, visible dust and debris under the bed and dark spotting inside the bathroom vanity where clean towels were stored. The room also had numerous scuffs, patched walls and signs of deferred maintenance throughout. The location and staff saved the stay, but the condition of the room fell well below the standard I'd expect from this brand, especially at this price point.

One of the important standards I look for in a hotel stay, is a focus on supporting locals. For me, if there's a Starbucks in the lobby, then I'm already disappointed. This hotel has one of my favorite local chain cafes, Honolulu Coffee Company. The only local café that has consistently made perfect crema foe decades. Starbucks baristas are not trained for this. The hotel also has restaurants with lots of local flavor. The sushi buffet is amazing but difficult to get a reservation on the weekends. 100 Sails also has a buffet though ordering ala cart seemed like the best choice for us. Best place to view the Friday fireworks. Our only disappointment was how much street noise we could hear throughout the night, even though we were on the 28th floor.

    Overall, we had a nice stay at Prince Waikiki for our family vacation. The views are amazing, and…read morethe amenities are top-notch. We booked the Club Premier package, and we felt it was worth it because breakfast at 100 Sails Restaurant on the 3rd floor was excellent every morning. One thing to keep in mind is that parking is not included with your stay and must be paid for separately, which is something to factor into the overall cost. One big concern was the snacks on the 5th floor. We came across moldy bread, which was definitely concerning. I would think the staff would check the food before putting it out, especially considering this is not a cheap hotel. I loved that we could grab coffee every morning from Honolulu Coffee without having to leave the hotel. The lines can get long, but the service is fairly quick. The staff, overall, were not very welcoming and often seemed serious. However, on Monday, June 29, there was an older woman who was incredibly friendly and welcoming. She really stood out and made us feel appreciated. One other issue was that the body wash in our room was never refilled, so we ended up not having any during our stay. We also requested a later check out and our key cards aren't working. The front desk never mentioned anything about need to change keys cards if we had a later check out and now we're outside our rooms having to go back downstairs and change our key cards. And they were making it complicated because they wanted my drivers license even though it's in the room. Overall, we enjoyed our stay, and the beautiful views, great amenities, and delicious breakfast made it a memorable family vacation.

Once my room became available I dropped off my luggage and then went directly to the beach. When I returned I did notice some areas of concern where the room was not very well cleaned. Instead of calling housekeeping I went directly downstairs to the front desk. Front desk personnel were busy as there were only 2 people assisting the long line of quests. I decided I'll just deal with the room uncleanliness later. Please be advised that I did take pictures. Once I checked out on Sunday, March 8th, I advised the front desk personnel my concerns. The manager Ira listened to my concerns as I showed her my pictures. She immediately apologized and ask that I email the pictures to their corporate office. Which I did once I arrived back to the mainland. In the room there's a finger or toenail clipping on the carpet between the console and couch. Also you can also see that portion of the carpet has not been vacuumed. The clothed bench in front of bed was extremely stained and filthy. So filthy that I covered the bench with a bath towel if I needed to sit down. Also the refrigerator was very dirty. I chose not to put any food items in the fridge because of this. Also the bottom of the toilet is stained with either fecal matter, urine or maybe it's rust. If so, clean it then use caulking. These are the concerns I have with room 403. Hopefully I'll be hearing from upper management in regards to my unpleasant stay in room 403. The best part of staying at this hotel was the show Auana which is located at this hotel. Needless to say I will not stay at this hotel again.

But…read morerecently came here on a recent special occasion for a friend's milestone birthday celebration. It was held in the Waialae Ballroom on a Saturday afternoon with lunch being served for all the guests. What a beautiful location where you can see the lush garden just outside, the pacific ocean was a few yards away when you're done eating, you're free to roam the area and see the beautiful architecture and structure of this fabulous hotel. I was not able to play tourist as this party had to end by 2pm and I had commitments thereafter. But for future hotel guests information, they also have dolphins for you to see. The food here was incredible and of good quality. Good for any type of gatherings of any size breakfast, lunch or dinner. Bartenders and service at the bar was even better! The amount of attention every table was receiving was amazing, glasses were never empty and always started with a full pour. Self parking was completely full, although valet parking service was a better idea. Keep in mind this is a full service 5 star property located in Kahala/Waialae. Would love to be a hotel guest one of these days just to say I've stayed at The Kahala Resort.

What a gorgeous hotel. It's no wonder why celebrities vacation here at this hotel and resort while on Oahu.

Hawaii is beautiful, the hotel is not.
