"The Waikiki Resort Hotel was a disappointing experience. Be aware that, in addition to the room rate, I was charged an extra $45 per person per day plus a $45 per day parking fee. While the advertised room rate seemed reasonable, the additional fees significantly increased the overall cost of the stay.
The hotel itself had several issues. The room windows rattled loudly in the wind, and hallway windows were locked open, allowing humidity, wind, and noise from a neighboring hotel’s pool parties to carry through the building until around 11:00 PM each night. I was also regularly awakened around 4:00 AM by garbage trucks servicing the hotel’s dumpsters. As a result, I got very little restful sleep during my stay.
When I raised concerns with the staff, I felt they were dismissive and simply responded that “that’s Waikiki.” However, I have stayed at other Waikiki hotels and have never experienced these problems.
The complimentary breakfast was also disappointing. The food quality was poor, and the dining area appeared unclean, which completely ruined my appetite.
Waikiki itself was fantastic, and I thoroughly enjoyed the area. Unfortunately, my experience with this hotel left me feeling that the low advertised room rate was offset by excessive resort and parking fees. I would not stay here again and would recommend that travelers carefully review all additional charges before booking."
