This is my 2nd stay at the Royal Grove. If you just want an affordable place to sleep that is in an amazing location, just blocks from the beach, this is perfect. The rooms are outdated and run down. But they are clean, secure and quiet. The bed is comfortable, AC worked great, there is a kitchenette, a balcony. I only sleep and shower here, am out and about, so I truly don't care that it is run down. The staff is friendly and you can check out a beach towel, they even have beach items you can borrow, umbrellas, chairs, floats. And this is the only hotel I could find that doesn't charge a resort fee. Parking is a bit of a walk, but I found a parking garage for $25/day at the Aston Sunset Waikiki, right next to the $45 lots that the hotel recommends. I'll be back. It's nice to know that there is an affordable place to stay in the perfect location.
