Great location, most comfortable beds
We have stayed at this hotel on 3 different trips. I am amazed at the person who talked about wild dogs, we have never seen anything like that. The Marriott chain revamped their beds & bedding several years ago & it is one of the few places we get a restful night's sleep. Sansei, the sushi restaurant on site, is just awesome & we never fail to dine there. Having 2 ABC stores onsite is really convenient & being across the street from Waikiki beach couldn't make the trek much closer. On our first visit, we encountered a very slow check-in, but we never had a repeat of that experience. The staff isn't overly friendly, but they help when asked. On our last visit, our room overlooked the pool, with a glimpse of Waikiki beach & it was lovely to sit on our balcony, drink in hand and listen to the Hawaiian music softly playing from the poolside restaurant/bar. Our last visit was a Christmas family reunion & we had a really great time, very restful and comfortable, which is just what we were looking for. It's within walking distance to the zoo and aquarium and any excursion you want to take offers pick up and return trip right to the hotel door. If you can find a 'special' rate, it's even a bargain, by Honolulu standards! We will return, it's our favorite hotel in Honolulu. :)
