Loved the location! Right across from the zoo and at the end of the city. Beautiful beach is right there. The chair that is in kitchen area was a wicker chair and had a cushion covering a good size hole. The mattress made us role into the middle, very uncomfortable. There was no dresser to put your clothes. We had to live out of our suitcases on the floor.

I stayed here for my honeymoon and was inconvenienced the whole time. We booked a nicer room with a better view in our package and they gave us a dirty small room. We did not ask for and they did not let us know either that we would be getting a horrible room. We had to stay there for two days when it cut into our honeymoon time so two out of the five days, we had to stay in a bad room and when we moved to the new room, it was slightly better, but it was still dirty. It was still rundown, and it did not match the pictures at all. We also paid for parking there cause we got a rental car and the manager kept parking in our space other people kept parking in our space. It was supposed to be assigned parking but every time we had to call the front desk when we’d really not wanna worry about that and it was such an inconvenience the whole time we were there we asked if we can get a refund or refunded the difference of what we paid and they just laughed in our face and we were so disappointed when we first got there cause the room looks so rundown, and it did not match the photos

Fair place for the price. Very nice staff
Curtains let the light from the other building outside go through so it’s wasn’t dark at night and we weren’t able to have a good night sleep. Coffee was provided for only one morning and NO tea. We were a couple and we had only one chair and no table for the kitchenette. Not a lot of lighting either only two little lamp on the night stand. Staff was really kind to us tho and available.

Amazing Location, half a block from the beach.
The hotel could not be in a better location. Half block from the beach, near everything restaurants, mall, bars, downtown. The price we got is unbeatable for the location. The property itself is a little outdated, could use some improvements but overall is great for sleeping as we stay out all day. My room had a full kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge and full kitchenware. Depending on how you book you could book with Waikiki Grand Hotel (building name) or could be with Castle Resorts (like a management co.) So from what i understood if you book with Castle Resorts (my case) most units a privately-owned and each individual owner does what they want as far as updates in the unit my unit wasnt too bad the only complaint was the mattress too old and hard on your back but after the first night you get used to it. It is a little weird how they operate so dont judge the book before you "read". So you register at the front desk as you normally would but if you booked with Castle Resort you have to go to a room in the 5th floor felt a little sketchy and do a real check in there, room is jam packed with hotels supplies, almost like a hoarder, but once you past that you will be ok. Other thing there is no room service and if you need supplies you have to go to the 5th floor room yourself to get it. And the cleaning fee you pay at check in is only for the checkout cleaning, does not include room service.

Location is great. But don’t expect much else.
The hotel room felt like it was someone’s old room. The sheets you sleep in feel like someone’s old sheets. The blanket was gross looking. The room itself was cool. There is no way to turn off the TV. The power button doesn’t do what you think it’s supposed to do. There is no cleaning service while you are there. I was there over a week and the room did not get cleaned once. I could tell by the build up of sand you end up with in your room. I tried to keep it maintained but you’re at the beach all the time it’s impossible. But you will be charged a cleaning fee, although the cleaning is clearly not to make your stay more comfortable. Oh and I hope you don’t like sleep. Because although this is of no fault of the hotel, it is what it is. There are a few roosters that hang out at the park across the street. They crow when it’s dark basically. Not at sun rise. They crow all the time. The doors can muffle the sound slightly, but you will be hearing them.

I’ve been to Honolulu many times. This was my first stay at this hotel. It’s suitable as a place to sleep and shower. The location, in my opinion, is great. I did feel duped by the “cleaning fee”. I would not stay here a second time, but it served its purpose for my trip to Honolulu. The staff was friendly also.

Choose Somewhere Else
The room was dirty, yet they charge me $50 to clean. Stains on the wall, baseboards are dirty, bed headboard loose and bangs the wall, toilet loose from the floor, "cleaning lady" parked in my spot that I was paying for, keypad door locked me out twice. Furniture is old and stained. Only allowed to switch towels every other day. Dark hallways. I stayed one night and was charged $300; I could have stayed at a much nicer place for that price. I was scheduled to stay there one week; I checked out and moved to a much nicer place for less money: The manager never returned my call to discuss the $50 cleaning charge. Hotel LaCroix. Not worth the price at all. Stay elsewhere. Buyer beware. This was room 904.

Well I'm late doing this but hear goes on our first day we had a bomb threat,16 police vehicals, vest's, door buster, and AR type rifles. That six cops showed up for a screaming lady and her boy friend. There's also a group of young people riding up and down the st. usually after 9:00pm electric bike, croch rockets and mopeds doing willies fasing up and down. But it's a beautiful area thats being taken. Also lots of homless and fighting in the park cops for a third time.

The room could be best described as a hole. The box spring and mattress was on the floor and had no bed frame. The room had a 2 and 1/2 foot pillar in the middle of the room. The table, an old weathered outside table and two Miss matched chairs looked like rodents had lived in them. It was so bad I couldn’t stay one night there. Thanks to Expedia they moved me. I wouldn’t recommend the place to my worst enemy
