We stayed in the old part of the hotel. It was very charming and you really felt like you were part of the original charming property. However, the rooms are REALLY small and there’s no outlet plug in the bathroom. There’s a window that overlooks the ocean but no balcony. It rained the entire time so u need a balcony to dry wet items. We knew this before we booked. The AC does work VERY well in the old part of the hotel. The property is lovely and the breakfast buffet was fantastic. This hotel was very expensive and therefore less crowded - thank God. It was not swarming with thousands of people or screaming kids. It was peaceful and relaxed and civilized. The amenities were wonderful. We received leis, free daily bottles water in our room. We had access to beach towels, rain umbrellas and plastic disposable rain parkas. The gym was outstanding. The equipment was new and their choice of machines was great. You can absolutely get a great, basic weightlifting routine done here. This hotel is located in the perfect spot with access to restaurants and shops. I feel like it’s slightly overpriced but it’s the nicest hotel in Waikiki. The building is gorgeous and that banyan tree…….
