3-Star Hotels in Hawaii, United States

I stayed here on both my arrival and departure days, which was super convenient. You can rent a car directly at the front desk, but you need to book in advance. They're often fully booked for same-day rentals!

Great service, professional staff.  If you are looking to be near the airport this is a great choice.  They have an airport shuttle and breakfast. If I’m in HNL again for a quick layover type trip I would stay here again.

The hotel itself is better than expected; You can tell that they went through a massive renovation in order to give a chill vibes based stay (on the outside). Inside of the room, it’s definitely an old hotel… I liked the furniture, but the windows were too open for my liking (you get the feeling that anyone can look into your room); Not as much of an issue since we used the curtains! The bath towels were covered in hair (ranging from long strands to tiny ***** pieces) which I found to be disgusting. The staff were more than willing to switch out the towels (there was still hair on them but a little dusting off mainly did the job). There was tiny ***** hair pieces in the bathtub as well, but I washed them down the drain so no biggie. The main issue that I had with this stay was that you could hear everything that was going on in rooms next door or outside. We heard loud screaming and fighting into the early ams, and it took a while for them to stop. This is not the hotel’s fault, but if you do stay here, keep in mind that the rooms aren’t very spacious, you can hear everything, and there might be hair in your towels. Overall, I really loved staying here and found it to be quite charming. The view in front of the hotel is INSANE. Though I listed negative traits about this hotel, I feel that it’s important to give some transparency to readers of this review. Mostly everyone goes into a hotel thinking that it’s 1000% clean and perfect. However, for me, the negative reviews are what I look for so that I know what to expect. You will definitely love the vibes and views this hotel has to offer, as well as the friendliness of the staff who worlds here.

The original facilities such as the building and elevators are old. It seems to have been partially renovated, so it's not that inconvenient. The front desk only speaks English, but they were polite and helpful when we communicated our needs. The cleaning staff are also very kind.

I highly recommend this hotel. Considering the price, I was extremely satisfied with everything except the age of the building. I stayed here for several consecutive nights on a business trip, and the front desk staff were always friendly and welcoming. Although the rooms are a bit dated, they were very clean, and the housekeeping service—including bed-making and towel replacement—was impeccable. My stay was comfortable every single day. For this price, the location and level of hospitality were outstanding. I was genuinely impressed. There was complimentary coffee available at the front desk, and although the smoking area was nearby, there was absolutely no smell in the hotel. As a smoker, I really appreciated that. The room came with four soft pillows, and the shower worked perfectly fine. There were also plenty of souvenirs available, which made me wonder how they can offer all of this at such a reasonable price. Now for a little rant. I accidentally packed a jar of jam that the hotel staff had kindly given me in my carry-on luggage at the airport. A particularly unpleasant security officer confiscated it, saying that gel-like substances were not allowed. All I can do is hope that person didn’t end up helping themselves to it. The hotel was flawless. My only grievance is with the guy at the airport security checkpoint. I would absolutely love to stay here again on my next business trip.

I booked a partial ocean view garden room and was extremely satisfied with it. The room was large and clean, with a beautiful garden view and a distant view of the sea. The hotel is perfect for relaxing; you could easily spend a whole day lounging on one of the tree chairs. There's a small shopping center just a five or six-minute walk away, offering convenient shopping and dining options. Overall, I highly recommend this hotel.

I stayed on the lagoon side, which was under renovation. The room was a bit old, but the cleanliness was acceptable, comparable to a 3-star standard. However, there was a strong smell and some mess outside the room due to the ongoing renovations. The sound of the waves at night was quite loud, but overall not a major issue. On the other hand, the balcony door was very difficult to open, as it was quite old. The lagoon itself was very nice, and I could see fish while swimming. The pool was a bit small, you could reach the end in a few strokes. The hotel is beachfront, and the views were really good, with beautiful sunsets. It's about a 5-minute walk to dining options.

Traveling solo in Hawaii can get expensive, so this place was excellent for sticking to a budget. Inside the pod, I'd occasionally hear people on the phone late at night, but it was generally quiet and I had no issues. The restrooms, sinks, and showers often weren't as clean as they could be, so a bit more frequent cleaning would have been a nice improvement. However, for this price, I don't think there's another hotel that offers a private space like this, so I'm very satisfied.

The room has a distinctly Japanese style, and the soundproofing is excellent, making it extremely cost-effective for a hotel in this area. Just a short walk down a small street leads to the beach and a bustling commercial street. The sunsets at the beach are beautiful, and the main street remains lively late into the night, making the street behind it much quieter. Highly recommended.

We were a bit disappointed initially with the cleanliness as there was a stain on the bed sheet upon entering the room. Thankfully, housekeeping changed it within the hour. The place is located in a central location, close to the beachfront at Waikiki, with a partnership with beachfront stores for beach equipment, as well as GoPros, sunscreen, lotion etc. that can be borrowed, included in the resort rate. However, the age of the hotel is really starting to show, it is in need of not just a touch up but an overhaul where possible. To be fair, the price, especially that paid for during this period, was a fair representation especially compared to neighbouring downtown hotels, given you do receive much more space and a kitchenette with microwave in the case of the 1 bedroom suite. However, I would say that I would have enjoyed my stay far more if at least some work was put in to modernise the space. In particular, my bathtub had peeling paint, and the colours of the room need some work.
