I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While the location was fantastic, right by the beach and close to great dining options, my room was quite disappointing given the hefty price tag. The staff was friendly and attentive, which was a plus. However, I expected better from a hotel at this price point, especially with the room view being far from ideal.

My stay at the hotel was filled with mixed feelings. While the location was perfect, right on Waikiki Beach and close to everything, the rooms could use some improvement, mainly due to their size and dated look.
