The staff at Hotel Renew were great. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Location is just a block or two from the beach and stores/restaurants along Waikiki Beach. Hotel room was fairly standard, but nice enough and when you are at Waikiki Beach you don’t spend much time there anyway.
Please remember when pricing the hotel that they charge a $70 resort fee and valet parking is $48-49/night. Resort fee includes access to beach gear, towels, snorkel gear, which is nice.
There is a coffee and alcohol bar right near elevator at hotel, which was great when we were leaving for the day or coming back at night.
