Absolutely loved this hotel! You’re about a 10 minute walk from the beach, but right next to numerous restaurants and malls. The room was very clean and spacious, and room service came to make the bed/tidy up every day. It’s as simple as putting a sign on the door. Both elevators were fast and functioning. The Hideout is a restaurant that is apart of the hotel. Some of the best food I tried on our trip. The breakfast and dinner were fantastic! Live music every day and just an overall great vibe. The staff were super friendly and helpful. Beach towels to take whenever you need and a clean pool with comfortable chairs and shade. The only thing I would’ve loved even more is a hot tub, but it was still a great pool. I would absolutely stay here again!

Made us sick!!
There are some positives to this hotel such as the proximity to shopping and the beach. The front desk staff were very friendly and helpful as well.
Overall, I think the negatives outweigh the positives though.

First of all if you are wanting a quiet place to stay, this is not it. The AC in our room was very loud. We heard music and loud people from the restaurant late into the night and another loud banging noise which I believe was people dropping weights in the gym. (Although our room was close to the gym, I would be surprised if we were the only ones able to hear it because of how loud it was.) I assumed it may be a bit more noisy because the restaurant has a bar and live music but it was so loud inside our room that we could clearly hear what song was being played.

Second, I have stayed at a lot of Marriott’s and this one definitely had the least amount of amenities. There is not a coffee machine, tea kettle, or microwave in the room (there is a microwave on the first floor) which isn’t a deal breaker for me but may be for some, and is included in the other Marriott’s I’ve stayed at- even without the Autograph collection status that this Marriott claims to have.
There is also no hot tub which was disappointing for us. I understand being in Hawaii a hot tub may not be necessary because of the climate but again, it is something that has been at the other Marriott’s I’ve stayed at and was something we wished they had. There was no bathtub in the room we stayed in as well so if you have kids that are easier to get in a bath or you want to take a bath, this might not be the place.
Most of the Marriott’s I’ve stayed at also get bed sheet changes daily(unless otherwise requested) and this hotel did not do that. They change sheets every 7 days as stated on their welcome letter. Might be an issue for some.
There was also no table in our room. There was a desk and night stands but nowhere to eat. Probably because they want you to eat at their restaurant.

The restaurant had pretty great food but I felt like the price point of the food was too high to be able to get what we wanted with the $50 breakfast credit- especially keeping in mind that they don’t have the coffee or tea in the rooms so you do have to buy it with your breakfast.

Lastly, our room made us very sick. At first we thought we had just come down with something but after getting out we realized that both of us felt almost completely better after not being in the hotel room for most of the day. Then coming back and having symptoms hit hard again whenever we were in the room. We did stay in a cabana suite right next to the pool, so I’m not sure if the room had hidden mold in it due to staying very humid all the time or if it was the AC. I don’t think it helps that the bathroom fans are definitely not strong enough for the humidity. There was an earthy, musty smell when we first got in but we didn’t think much of it. We didn’t make the correlation of being so much more sick in our rooms until the last day so unfortunately we didn’t get the chance to switch rooms and give it another chance. Maybe a room higher up wouldn’t have had the same effect? But it did make our stay extremely uncomfortable and we did not enjoy being at the hotel because we felt awful while there.

This was a very good choice in Waikiki. First the location, unbeatable, just in front of marugame Odom, all the shops and two blocks from the beach.. then the rooms, very clean, comfortable and well decorated. The service offered by the maids and the check in counter was top notch... If I have to state something bad, it would be that the shower head was broken and not fixed in my seven days stay and that we got some bad attitude in the breakfast several days (Christie), but that is kind of small compared to the good stuff. I would recommend this hotel strongly

We stayed here only a night but was really impressed by their customer service. The lady by the store near the pool immediately approached my husband and daughter who were waiting for me to check in. It was Halloween weekend so she offered to give her a decoration to decorate and display. She then offered us shaved ice which they offer to guests. Our room was so clean and spacious. We also got a welcome basket. The only thing I wish they had was a microwave in the room for parents who need to warm or prep meals for their picky toddlers like me. But aside from that, the entire stay was really good. Would come back here especially with their good location, clean facilities and good customer service!

One of the best places to stay, rooms are clean, so many free services and events. Free water stations with sparkling and cold water, included sunscreen and pool towels. Hideaway and secret room bars and not to mention the fish market restaurant below you. Incredibly fast elevators and the vibe was awesome.

Will definitely stay here again.
