A new goto for Honolulu
I can not praise the staff enough. I had a 4am check in but nothing was a problem. Great coffee and bagel option for breakfast. Have already told colleagues to use this hotel if more than a quick airport sleepover....Super comfortable bed....all you needing the room.....and just ask for directions...restaurant options etc. Will return for similar 48 hour transits

This is a hotel which is conveniently located near Ala Moana Park and has everything that you need nearby. The stuff is very friendly and the best thing about it is that you have a wonderful bar at the ground floor so you don't have to go out to get a drink

I absolutely loved it. My husband and I enjoyed ourselves. All of the staff was incredible helpful and friendly. The bar was perfect. Not wild but a great place to enjoy a drink and chat it up with the other guest and locals. It was wonderful. I’d definitely go back again.

Good value for money. It is not a luxury resort, but we didn't pay luxury resort money. The staff was friendly and helpful. Location was fine, kind of on the fringe of Waikiki. Close to the huge Ala Moana mall, which was nice. Man those wild Hawaiian chickens are loud in the early morning, but they are pretty much everywhere!
