5 stars for overall experience, location and hotel pool area. The actual room is pretty small, but perfect for a couple or one person. We had 2 adults and toddler and it was a pretty tight. No kitchenette which was a bummer but they have a fridge, microwave and coffee pot. The pool area is great, we went almost everyday even if just for an hour or less. They don't serve alcohol, but do serve great food. BYOB. Can't beat the location for the price, just a 2 min walk to the beach and shopping. I'm not sure we'll stay there again bc our toddler will be bigger and the space won't accommodate, but I highly recommend for any couple or single person who wants to enjoy Waikiki without breaking the bank.
Also, for anyone looking to save more money, I highly recommend taking the bus literally everywhere, even to and from the airport. $2.50 per person, per ride.
