Beautiful historic property on Waikiki!

jmryl2018 (Dallas, Texas) on May 10, 2025

Read the reviews prior to our visit. I was a little concerned about the upkeep of the property, but was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well maintained it was. Our room looked like something out of the past. High ceilings and comfortable beds. Bathroom was a little tight, but manageable. Closet was huge. Front desk staff were very accommodating. Since I have a Marriott Bonvoy number and they had availability, we were able to check in early. We found the other staff very nice also. Pool was small, but who comes to Hawaii to sit by a pool. Beach was crowded so we would leave during the day to see other parts of the island. Overall, five stars from us! Mahalo!

Like going back in time, not in a good way!!

This hotel is in major need of modernising. Whilst the grounds and common areas are still somewhat charming the rooms are motel standard and the pool & pool area is not serviceable for the hotel population. I was completely shocked at the standard of the rooms for $1000 per night. They are the worst rooms I’ve ever seen, threadbare and worn. They did move us from one abismal room to a slightly less abismal room but there was evidence of mould, torn bedsheets, ripped shoddy shower curtain. It was completely unacceptable. Staff were generally rude apart from a couple of servers in the restaurant.
