This place was RAD. We were first at a condo on the beach and amenities were space. We came here and BAM tiki bar, pool and hot tub, close to food and shopping, in room- record player, boogie boards, towels, beach loungers, yoga mats, an actually “bedroom” with a door that closes for separate sleeping quarters. The staff was great. It was a few minutes walk to the beach. The experience and atmosphere was unmatched!

Definitely not necessarily kid friendly. For sure a party scene hotel. Cute vibe. Older rooms and facility. The staff semi rude / short but the valet guys are VERY VERY nice and welcoming. Two blocks away from the beach, walking distance

Great deal for Waikiki
The service was amazing and we liked the location of the hotel in Waikiki. It was situated close enough to the main drag (international marketplace) but allowed us to avoid the traffic in Waikiki since we had a rental car. Valet parking was a bit pricy ($45/night with in/out privileges), but the attendants were friendly and very efficient. The room was clean, but they were a little old (the doors, floors, and beds were creaky). The bathroom was extremely small (like the size of a coat closet) and probably the only major downside to the hotel room for us. We had some cocktails at the Heyday bar, which were refreshing and delicious! The bar has fun swings you can sit on while enjoying the drinks. The front desk also had complimentary slushies and coffee.

Disliked: Cleanliness
This wasn’t the worst place I’ve ever stayed at, but it certainly wasn’t the best. Cute idea and theme, convenient location, but not very well maintained. Everyone who worked there was very polite and accommodating. However, the property could use an upgrade. Pool loungers are old and torn, tiles were missing from the hot tub and dirty, I only saw the pool cleaned once during a two week stay, in two weeks I had to ask somebody to actually clean my room instead of just giving me clean linens and even then their idea of clean is subpar, all of that I could forgive but the Wi-Fi was the worst offender. This was a working vacation, and the Wi-Fi was horrendous and completely unreliable, which made it impossible to work effectively. I would highly recommend this to young adults who want a party because that’s the vibe at this hotel, and maybe even honeymooners, but definitely not for people who are working out of town and for young families. Definitely on a plus side, the valet was amazing service.
