We loved the convenient location of this hotel. It was close to Waikiki Beach and Ala Moana, as well as public transportation and shops. The man-made lagoon nearby was absolutely beautiful, and there were plenty of great bars and beachside restaurants within walking distance. The outdoor sitting area by the pool provided a secluded and intimate atmosphere, and we enjoyed the live music on Friday evenings at the bar/coffee shop. The staff at the front reception area were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel cared for throughout our stay. The cleanliness of the hotel was top-notch, and our room was comfortable and cozy. The AC kept the room cool even on hot days, and the bed and pillows were incredibly comfortable. Additionally, the hotel offered convenient parking and even had scooters available for rent.
Nothing to mention.
We loved staying at this hotel! The staff here is incredibly friendly, genuine, and caring. They made us feel welcomed and taken care of throughout our stay. The hotel itself is clean and comfortable, and we felt right at home. The bed was comfortable, and the pillows were dreamy. The AC kept our room cool and comfortable, no matter how hot it got. We also appreciated the convenient parking downstairs and the option to rent scooters. The pool and bar next to the lobby were a nice spot to relax. The hotel's location is excellent, with the Ala Moana Shopping Centre, restaurants, cafes, and a beach bus stop just steps away. It's also conveniently located between Waikiki and Honolulu, making it easy to explore both areas. we had a wonderful time here and would definitely come back.
Nothing that we didn't like.
