I had to stay for an entire week, while relocating for a job. Could not have been more pleased about the service and amenities the room had to offer. I had a clean, modern room that was very spacious and had decent views. Would recommend for anyone to stay at this location. Walking distance close to many attractions and restaurants.... more

Stayed a weekend at this property, which as others have stated, is a 'hotel-within-a-hotel.' A little concerned due to the reviews, but the full kitchen, walking distance to the park and the major mall swayed us in the end. And we didn't regret our choice! Luckily we had been informed when booking that the front desk was located on the... more

Based on the past few reviews, our expectations for this hotel within the Renaissance Ilikai were pretty low, however when we arrived our trepidation slowly subsided. I do say slowly due to tired exterior of the hotel and our experience during check in. When we checked in (on the second floor) our room wasn't quite ready yet. I should mention... more

Many, many problems. First day visit to office to be informed we'd been given a room for city view when we requested and paid for an ocean view. Office staff (especially one female) was very rude. After 2 days of "discussion" we were given the worst room (owner/rental) ever. It hadn't been updated since early 70s and certainly showed it.... more

Very strange place - since it is within another hotel. Went to the front desk not realizing this. They directed to the second floor to an office for check-in. (Well, once we finally got on the elevator.) The staff was okay, but not overly friendly. Our room on the 12th floor (city view) was not ready. Came back at check-in... more

We stayed in this hotel for a week, in January, 2008. Although I had read the reviews here and elsewhere, none of them really set out what's happening at this hotel. The positives: The hotel room we got was spacious, well-appointed, and very nicely cleaned. There was a good kitchen, a good bed, a couch, an armchair/ottoman, and a pleasant... more

As SVC members we expected a modern, well-maintained property with 4-star amenities like those we encountered on the Big Island and Kauai. The Waikiki Marina Resort at the Ilikai is not. It's tired and out-dated. The elevators are so slow that you must plan for an exasperating 10 minute wait for each trip up or down. Hot water for showers... more

This was our 3rd trip to Waikiki. The hotel is part of the Ilikai complex and is a pleasant walk to the beach, which is the prettiest and widest in the area. Studios are spacious and well appointed. Lanai's are large with table and chairs. Reviewers had mentioned the slow elevators, they improved as the week went on, and, if... more

I was hoping that this hotel would look new and clean as what Shell Vacations Club bragged about. I was so disappointed to see an old and dirty looking hotel and the pool wasn't available due to some problems. The bed was just okay, the kitchen was not too clean and the carpet was stained in some areas and it... more
