The location was great! A ten minute drive to Waikiki, right on the marina, and right by the Hilton resort.
A few things I wish I had known before booking:
They do not provide some of the basics like dishwasher detergent, coffee filters, or even salt. The market downstairs has all of this, but it’s expensive.
The kitchen supplies are very limited with dull knives and no mixing bowls. The dish washer leaks and nothing has been updated in a very long time.
The beds are not comfortable unless you’ve been at the beach all day and are dead tired. The springs are uneven and the sheets are scratchy.
The complex is also very busy. Expect to wait 15+ minutes for an elevator or walk 11 flights of stairs most of the time.
There are also no beach necessities like towels or chairs. Bring your own towels and rent chairs for $20/day from Dukes downstairs.
A tip when staying here: the accommodations of the hotel are okay, but go next door to the Hilton to swim, eat, and shop.
All in all, nothing major but it could use a serious upgrade. The host seems kind but didn’t respond when we couldn’t figure out the shower and when I asked where the dishwasher detergent was they told me they were not a hotel. I don’t think I’d stay here again.
