I'm so glad we stayed here. Everything about it was easy. Friendly reception desk, keycode shared in advance for the door, fastest elevator I've ever been on.... The Waikiki Grand is at the eastern end of the commercial strip - to the east of it is peace and serenity (zoo, aquarium, Diamond Head...). So we had the best of both worlds. We were a bit surprised by how small the room was, but for two people it was everything we needed. And so nice! That bed is superb. Loved the big shower too. The view from the room isn't much, but the rooftop deck was unbelievable. For the price, this place can't be beat.
