Check-in was fast and straightforward. The hotel has two towers; the one closer to the water is going through some construction each day and by staying in that tower, you can have the resort fee waived. I chose to have things be a little quieter and stayed in the other tower. My room had a nice balcony with two chairs, a table, and a view of the ocean and sunset. The room was comfortably appointed and included a refrigerator. Local groceries are available nearby so you can bypass all the local high priced establishments if you wish. Waikiki is noisier than most cities and the balcony door blocked out some of the noise. There is a constant whine from the generator (or whatever) on the pool deck, and neighboring hotels have live music until 9pm local, so if you choose the water view, you'll want as high a floor as possible, particularly if you're from the east coast of the US and are six hours off kilter. Five elevators serve the tower, and wait time was reasonable. The overall feel of the facility was consistent with other Marriott hotels...nothing particularly special, but perfectly comfortable and clean.

Hotel is beautiful. Breakfast staff are wonderful and so is the food! We had an ocean front room in K Tower. The slider to the lanai was so hard to open my wife couldn’t open it. Reception sent maintenance but they couldn’t do much. I believe the door needs replaced. Carpet is a trip hazard. But we have stayed there four times and will always stay there.

We had a day room at this property while spending the day in Honolulu before our evening flight. Check in was easy and a room was ready a little early. It was on the 18th floor with a city view. It was perfect for our purpose but would have been a little small if we were staying more than a night or two. The hotel has 2 small pools, one family and one adult. Neither were overly crowded around lunchtime. The restaurant by the pool is expensive (no surprise) but served our needs. The highlight is that the hotel is right across from Waikiki Beach. Two beach chairs were included, which was a plus. We enjoyed our day

I was pleasantly surprised at the quality of this hotel. Some of the big resorts in Waikiki can lack personality. I have also stayed at other places with “ocean views” that included a rooftop full of HVAC units. The Ocean View rooms at Marriott Waikiki deliver gorgeous views of the iconic stretch of Waikiki from Diamond Head to Ala Wai Harbor. Easily walkable/uber to all of Waikiki from the hotel, I do not recommend getting a rental car if you don't plan to do a lot of driving to other parts of the island. And even then, the tours have transportation. ***There is construction going on to repair the exterior balconies. However, I was notified a week prior and given a choice to upgrade rooms to an ocean view (non functioning balcony) but totally worth it for those views. Also there is no construction on the weekends, but I don’t know how inconvenient the construction would be during the week. Breakfast buffet was excellent. Easy beach access and two pools (one adult only, one family friendly) as well as daily activities, which is great depending on what kind of trip you are on. i have stayed at seven different hotels in the Waikiki area and would add this one as one to come back to.

Room was clean, housekeeping staff were all very friendly and accommodating. Baggage attendants were top notch. Check in however was rough. She was rude and short. Didn’t explain anything and if I didn’t ask I wouldn’t know. Didn’t know about a $25 room credit; had to ask about parking. It was 2 in the afternoon so it wasn’t very busy but she was just meh. Otherwise great location and we were 33 floor. It was a beautiful view.
