We stayed at the Waikiki Resort Hotel for three weeks in February 2005. While we had no major problems I rate it as a you get what you pay for hotel, with it's share of positives and negatives. If you are going to Waikiki and traveling on a budget this is likely a place for you. The hotel is clean and the staff generally friendly. The rooms are cleaned daily and sleeping is acceptable. Although their views are blocked by other adjacent buildings you could see a portion of the beach and the surf from our 16th floor room. The elevators were not consistently fast or slow, sometimes fast sometimes slow. On the negative side the parking is $10 per night, which is typical around the area though, & do not look for any luxury features here... as others have said, the painting and wallpaper are noticeably patched in places, the furnishings are dated with almost all drawers having broken slides (the drawers fall out when opened), and the AC vents are ultra dusty but functioning. The tub was dinky small so believe what other reviews say. We also found one pay movies was messed up and another started in the middle. The most upsetting was a number of calls, around 20, we made that never went thru we got billed for, at around $3.50 each. I personally heard, thru the comptuer speaker, that it was something to do with Sprint but when the hotel tested it and found the destination was a modem they would not remove them from the bill… a little unseen hidden charge, 70 - 80 dollars worth, I guess. I rate it a two stars because that's exactly what it is... o.k with some problems. I'd probably look elsewhere if we go again.

Stayed here two nights, and got a smoking room, though reserved a
non-smoking. The "upgrade" would cost me my ocean view, I was
told (even though it wasn't my error).
Halls are very dreary and
dark, peeling wall paper and water stains. Extremely noisy stretch, whether
day or night. Construction starting every morning between 8 and 9, have to
go into the basement for a beach towel, and the rooms are a joke. The Web
site boasts pictures of rooms I sure didn't get. Walked in and almost
walked out. There's a 1-inch gap between the main door and floor, light
fixtures were stained with water damage, cheap, chipped lacquer dresser,
and stains on bedding. The bathroom gets even better. One light above the
lone sink, and the bathroom door to the toilet won't open all the way,
because it runs into the toilet. Likely the most dreary bathroom I've
ever seen. One light bulb in the entire thing. The shower/tub is little
more than three feet long, and extremely uncomfortable with regard to arm
distance when washing out hair (in shower, not as bath). For the price paid
(about $100/night), even the Waikiki Circle Hotel is better. This place is
the epitome of cheap.
