"This was our second time staying at the Waikiki Hotel Resort. We love the open-air lobby and the location is absolutely fantastic. The Hotel is merely a block from the beach and is great if you want to have 1/4 or 1/2 days at the beach. There is also a car rental shop conveniently located in the lobby so it was very easy for us to rent a car for a day to circle around the island.
The breakfast buffet has vastly improved from when we stayed here in late 2024. The selection now includes fresh fruit, garden salad, soup, scrambled eggs, rotating selection of carbs (rice, fried rice, hash browns, potatoes), rotating selection of breakfast protein (different sausages, ham), pastries, bread, soup, oatmeal and beverages. We've had Park at the breakfast buffet serve us for two years in a row, and he is always a delight!
The rooms are quite spacious but, as others have mentioned, are dated and could use an update. We do like the old-school Hawaiian vibe, however. as it's somewhat nostalgic for us. Overall, I think it's a good place to stay particularly if you value being able to have quick and easy breakfast on site. Some of their hotel staff could display more "aloha" in their presentation, but there was nothing wrong or bad with the service that we received.
The Hotel also added a game room with arcade games, a pool table, foosball, etc. which was popular with the kids.
On-site laundry was also good and easy to access. "
