ResortQuest Waikiki Beachside Hotel Resort - Page 1

This hotel may not be for the luxury-conscious visitor; but it definitely provides an economical opportunity for the on-the-go traveler who enjoys the lovely scenery, likes to engage the friendly staff, and wishes to explore the local flavor along Waikiki Beach. Small rooms. Plan ahead. Check the internet before selecting a room or even this hotel. I'd recommend the Deluxe Ocean View on the upper floor levels only. We enjoyed having our lanai/patio door open in the evenings and throughout the entire night to listen to the ocean waves, along with the music and local street life as it slowly wound down. Fantastic views and frequent opportunities for grand ocean photos anytime. Amenities galore. We loved it! We didn't need a pool with the great weather and a fantastic beach just across the street. Only a mini-frig required us to plan our meal options. Still enough space for the basics. Great for the active and thrifty traveler who wants to run out and see a community instead of just gazing out glass windows, sitting around a crowded lobby, or eating at one on-the-property restaurant. Access to the beach was fabulous. There were frequent Hawaiian cultural-sponsored activities by the Banyan Tree just outside the hotel's front door. Parking was through an adjoining hotel facility, minor inconvenience. Allowed us to explore the Island, trek the trails, smell the Plumeria, and not feel guilty about the costs for the stay. I took a walk every morning - near the zoo, park, beach, Ala Wai Park and Canal, and some of the best historic structures to Waikiki Beach. There may be more expensive and luxurious places to stay; but we planned this one out ourselves after much searching and were pleased with the result. Hope you find your stay in Hawaii as wonderful as we did, where ever you decide to stay.

It is a nice hotel but the rooms are very small. The plus points are the breakfast on the beach and the location.

I loved this hotel. The stay was great and the staff was awesome.

The Waikiki Beachside Hotel does not deliver much for the traveler, other than a great location: amenities are minimal, and the hotel hasn't been updated in decades. There was a very strong mildew smell in our room which was never resolved, nor could management of the hotel figure out how to find us another room that didn't smell. I would strongly advise anyone considering this hotel to look elsewhere.

(Additionally, I am very suspicious of positive comments regarding this hotel. There was simply nothing positive about the experience of staying here.)

The room was small and the decor was bad. The view was not as described. The free breakfast each morning was nice.

This hotel made me feel respected: They have very good bellhop service.
