The valet staff were excellent and very friendly! I couldn't say the same about the front desk. We had an issue of being over charged that took about 3-4 months to finally get resolved. That was disappointing. The manager gave us the run around. It's a nice location and close to Waikiki. It's a reasonable price point.

Disappointing experience didn't feel welcome and we were not offered any upgrades or the complimentary wine even after asking for it . Amenities in the room were limited to one coffee per day , the breakfast options were very limited and paper cups for breakfast and croissant in a bag, not a plate . No outdoor area to sit and relax other than room balcony and that only had 2 hard upright chairs no loungers.

Not much to look at from the outside, but once you enter you know its a nice place. Clean and smells nice. The staff is crazy nice and accommodating. The cold towel while waiting was refreshing. I have zero complaints. Parking is $50 and I felt guilty about not tipping the valet.

Nice but not sure it's a 4 star
We stayed for 9 nights and have pretty extensive travel experience domestically and internationally. The pros of the location: quieter, Diamonhead, the park across the street, most of the staff, Arden the restaurant. The cons for us: didnt get the requested connected rooms and didn't find out until we checked in at 10pm, breakfast for sale isnt always available, views are limited or obstructed, not all the staff is customer focused, our room was worn out and needed new rug, unstained furniture, restaurant wasn't open every night so had to go to other places if you wanted a cocktail or food, parking is not free, NO pool.
