We booked this Hotel via their web site with a package including parking at $10 per night. On arrival we were placed in a room with a stunning view of a concrete wall which blocked out everything including the daylight! i asked for another room only to be told that ours was the only one available. The room was shabby... more

I never added my comments before but I was so disappointed with this experience I just had to let others know. The day we arrived the hotel was in in their first day of new ownership by the Aqua group. When we were checking in I had requested a room with a view, although the reception person didn't answer me,... more

We stayed at this hotel in October of 2005 for 7 days. The hotel was small but we knew that when we made our reservations. We found that the stafff was extremely helpful and gave us advice on the various activities that we should participate in and would help us to sign up for them. If your looking for full... more

Having never been to Hawaii and just spending 3 weeks in Europe, I was a little worried about this hotel after reading the reviews on this site. We got in after 9pm and having booked a partial ocean view room, we were informed we could upgrade to the full ocean view on the top floor for an extra $5 a... more

My wife and I stayed at the Beachside Hotel for 6 nights in October 2007. I am very dissappointed. We booked our room several months ago and paid for a beachfrontal facing room with a queen size bed. When we got to the hotel and checked in they informed us that they did not have a room with a queen... more

This is motel quality hotel. I think motel even look nicer. Everything in this hotel is old and dirty. I don't know how they get 3 stars. Poor front desk service. I asked if this 3 stars hotel and the front desk told me:"this is no star hotel. If you like it, then stay or leave here." we are only... more

This hotel is a touch hard to find and often gets mixed up with the ResortQuest Waikiki Beach up the street (MUCH nicer). This hotel is very well situated but is well worn. The wife hated it, but I thought it was adequate. This hotel was close to everything in Waikiki and literally right across the street from the beach.... more

We only needed a room for a night, as we were getting on a cruise the next day, so we didn't want to spend a ton of money -- and we knew we weren't going to check in until late in the evening due to our flight schedule. The rooms, at the time we were there at least, needed some... more
