Upgrading of room decor, furnishings, and toiletries badly needed to bring hotel to luxury category.

Liked:The hotel is located in the heart of Waikiki and our room, being an end unit had a full view of Waikiki beach.

Disliked:We had a very difficult time checking in despite providing a confirmed reservation number. For the price, the room decor and furnishings are sadly dated/worn and not considered luxury. No slippers were provided and the toiletries provided were basically generic and not of luxurious grade.

Good structure and sea view

Liked:The location and parking onsite, as well as, the sea view.

Disliked:I thought the room details a bit poor considering the money spent, however, the sea view is amazing and the resort has a good structure and breakfast included. The other point to highlight is the parking paid aside.

Another Wonderful Visit

Liked:My family stayed here from April 4 to April 11, 2006, in rooms 602 and 603. We arrived at around noon on that first Saturday and were able to check in at around 1:30 PM. We were given 2 cards for complimentary banana muffins from their bakery and the receptionist had a couple extra boxes with her that she passed to us while we waited. My family loved them! We have stayed at this hotel a few times in the past and have loved every visit so we keep coming back. The location in the heart of Waikiki is perfect. We go with my mother-in law and father-in-law who aren't into spending time at the pool or beach and they are able to head out on their own to shops and restaurants while my wife and I take our 12 and 9 year old to the pools and the beach. At other resorts across Hawaii we aren't able to do this and we feel that my in laws might get bored at more remote locations so this location is perfect. We stayed in the main historic building and I love the vaulted ceilings in the rooms and the decor. Room 602 gave us a little more bathroom space than we've gotten in the past which was nice as that's the main drawback of staying in a hotel that is 100 years old. I'm sure that the tower building has more bathroom space and we'll probably try a room there sometime as it would also be nice to have a balcony. But we love the history and character of the main building and I end up booking rooms there every time. We've gotten a junior suite in the past but the basic room was able to handle four of us in one room this trip. It rained a bit on our last few days and the hotel had umbrellas that they handed out to stay dry. The islands have been receiving a ton of rain lately so on this trip we stayed closer to the hotel in Waikiki and still had a great time. Fortunately/unfortunately my wife and daughters love to shop and there are tons of options within walking distance. We loved the Cirque du Soleil show 'Auana which was right across the street and the Rock a Hula show that was nearby at the Royal Hawaiian Center. We drove 25 minutes to visit the Experience Nutridge Luau which we also enjoyed. We self-parked our rental car at the Sheraton/Royal Hawaiian parking structure and it was easy to get in and out. We're already looking forward to our return visit to the Royal Hawaiian in a couple years. Everyone here is always so kind and welcoming. It is definitely our favorite hotel on Oahu.
