60th Birthday Celebrations in Hawaii
David R (Preston, United Kingdom) on Jan 31, 2023
This was a very disappointing stay at the Holiday Inn Express Waikiki Beach. Pros : The staff are extremely helpful, welcoming and friendly from reception, housekeeping and breakfast team. The beds are very comfortable and we had a great view of the beach from our room. Great location with only 10 minutes walk to beach and restaurants Reasonable pool area for relaxing, but beds are soon full and sun is only on pool for approx 4hrs. Breakfast is above average for Holiday Inn Express standards. However, the hotel need to control the waste of food taken by guests and then discarded, along with the quantity of food guests were taking out of the restaurant, as it was clear people were taking enough food to supplement other meals later in the day. Cons : Far too much building work noise during the day from two diagonal building sites makes it impossible to relax by pool - even with ear plugs! Room air conditioning units are very old and extremely noisy - it is impossible to sleep even with ear plugs Temperature control units in rooms are not connected to air conditioning units - you need to reach inside the a/c housing to be able to switch off the a/c with no fan speed control working on the unit. Rooms are extremely small and bathroom space is a nightmare - we stayed 7 nights and found the room very depressing and not somewhere you want to rush back to at the end of a busy day. Hotel policy is only to change the bed linen every four days and towels every alternate day. We had one change of bed linen over our 7 day stay! Note, no letter, or card in room to explain the room service schedule and no option to leave a card on your bed to request a change of linen. Such a bad policy to make guests have to request room service considering the daily rate on this hotel. Street noise also keeps you awake (if you turn off a/c) due to single glazing windows. Conclusion : Great customer service and reasonable budget style breakfast choice. However, I would recommend paying extra to stay in better hotels with larger rooms where you can sleep with air conditioning.

My family and I enjoyed ourselves tremendously in Waikiki, stayed at the Holiday Inn Express. The Staff was very pleasant attitude, friendly, thoughtful and attentive to our every need, very respectful, considerate and accommodating, they went out of their way to make our family feel right at home as well as other customers. The Hotel itself was really nice. Even though the rooms were small, it was still cozy and comfortable. My family stayed there for 8 days and loved every minute of it. I have to give a special recognition to Ms. Kathy Ahsam and Ms. Natalie Caceres for their assistance in the preparation for my families coming to stay at Holiday Inn Waikiki. Honolulu. Hawaii. They were a joy to work with and two of the most kindest, warm and generous professionals I know. The front desk staff was a joy to work with also. Omar, Cheryl, Gladys. Virginia. and Irene. Of course they weren't the only ones who made our stay an enjoyable one; however, some of the names I can't recall, but the whole staff was very professional and kind. There is so much to see and do and it's all within walking distance from the Holiday Inn Express, Waikiki. We did a family Karaoke party, Cheesecake factory, Best Barbeque, Beaches close by, and the best front porch style ever for just relaxing and talking with family. We had the BEST time in Waikiki at the Holiday Inn Express off 2058 Kuhio Avenue.
