Hotels near Honolulu Zoo Elephant Enclosure in Honolulu

This is my daughter(5) and my favorite staycation spot for the last few years. The pool is wonderful, very relaxing and fun. The location is great for those who want to shop and dine at the Ala Moana Center. As we live on Oahu, Waikiki can be a bit too busy so if you are those who want to stay off of Waikiki, this is great as it’s at the edge of Waikiki, right by Ala Moana! We also enjoyed the free lei making with friends we made at the pool too.

This's my first time booking through ”trip” app. I glad i did. Our room is corner views where we got both the view from diamond head and oceanfront. This's the best experience i have. We arrived at the hotel on a Friday night around 7pm Hawaii time. Didn't expect they were doing fireworks around 8pm. I got to see it right from my window view. Omg.....i was breaking in tears where i haven't experience of fireworks this close before. I wish they allow video reviews in here where i can share my recording of the fireworks to you all. My daily views from my room are the best everyday and night throughout our stay. We walked around the beaches, restaurants and stores around the hotel area everynight before bed. Anyway, thank you for the awesome experience and memories. Love it so much and totally recommend.

It is newly decorated in a Japanese style. The fixed seaside view is that the beach is not a full sea view. Most of the Japanese customers also have exclusive services. It is friendly to children. There are children's pools and water play facilities, and there is also an infinity pool with an adult bar. It is great not to disturb each other. There is a Lawson convenience store, an ice cream shop, etc. just below, with complete facilities, it is worth living in!

We have booked Hampton Inns across the US for over two decades because of the consistent delivery on the core amenities that make for a family friendly hotel. We stayed two nights at this hotel and my score here is based on the second night. Our first night was a horror show that resulted in a comped night. I'll include that information at the bottom but don't think (or at least I hope it doesn't) reflect the hotel in general. Overall - this is a hotel that is trading on a name and the sky high hotel prices on hawaii without providing the appropriate quality of service, amenities or upkeep to deserve your business. Pros: 1) The hotel is located in a shopping plaza in Kapolei. While this offers plentiful restaurants and shops in the close vicinity this is also a significant con for reasons I will describe below. 2) The King/sofabed room was very reasonably sized with a functional fridge and comfortable beds. 3) Apart from one employee (described below) all other staff were friendly and accommodating. Cons: 1) The room otherwise was not convenient. There were no linens for the sofabed (we had to go down to the front desk to request more), minimal pillows etc. Why offer a sofabed but then make it so difficult to use? The bathroom door was absolutely absurd - It was a slider door on a railing on the outside - which meant that you couldn't lock the door and there was a ~ 2 inch gap between door and frame when closed. Better be close friends with those in the room! 2) The location means that you share parking with everyone in the mall. We had to park quite far away from the hotel which is not great for baggage etc. 3) While the food/beverages were all adequate and frequently refilled there was something VERY wrong with the coffee (stale and sour), waffle mix (sour and pasty) and eggs (tasted like salty toothpaste). The common sourness and pasty nature across the three suggest that something is wrong with the water but I would expect that they are checking before serving customers. My kids would eat just about any flavor waffle (and have happily devoured any and all hotel waffles in their time) but both said these were disgusting. The eggs were grainy and pasty - honestly I have never eaten anything like that. I didn't point out these issues as given the other problems experience with the room and the situation described below - I felt that it may have seemed like 'serial complaining”. I figured that if it was fine for everyone else - leave it be and if others felt the same - they would notify the property. The no good-very bad night. 1) We arrived at the hotel later in the evening after an evening flight and so my tired kids went to bed. I jumped in the shower at about 9:30 and noticed that there was only one temperature of water available - Boiling. I thought maybe switching up the input/output may help so I switched from the faucet to the shower and now only cold water was available. I felt that a fu

I paid the resort fee and deposit with my card when I checked in in the morning, but when I went to the front desk to pick up my room key in the afternoon, I was charged the resort fee and deposit again. Even if I told him that I had paid when I checked in earlier, he insisted that I could pay. It's not for me, it's for my husband. Even though I said it was strange that I had reserved only one room for two people, I was told to pay. I asked someone who could speak Japanese to take over the phone and explain things to me, and they finally gave me the room key, but there was no explanation or apology as to why it happened. I was handed the room key with a defiant attitude. And, as expected, I was charged at the restaurant even though I made a reservation with a plan that included breakfast. If the front desk is that much, well, I thought it would be like that. I'm scared of what I'll be charged next time when I check out tomorrow. Is Marriott a hotel like that? I come to Hawaii every year, but I will never stay at a Marriott again. It's a shame because the location and facilities are fine.

The hotel is in a good location! Located on the edge of Waikiki Beach, 6-8 minutes walk from Alamona Shopping Center. There is a pier in front of the hotel. If you are lucky, you can see turtles in the pier waters while standing in the room (beachfront room type)! There are many Japanese tourists in the hotel and the service is very good! ! The hotel room is large, the hotel is new, and the facilities are good! The disadvantage I personally think is that the swimming pool is small and located on the fifth floor of the hotel, which is a bit useless (everyone goes to the beach to swim, especially the lagoon on the beach near the hotel, the water is very calm, the area is large and the scenery is beautiful), and I don’t know that the hotel charges 47 dollars per day for a resort. What does the fee provide? In addition, the hotel only has two high-rise buildings and does not go directly to the beach. It does not have the same atmosphere as the Hilton resort next to it (the Hilton we stayed at last time)

What do I need to say? The completeness of the trip is greatly enhanced by the scenery of the sea and sky that changes every moment in the morning/lunch/dinner. The staff here are very friendly, and the shopping/restaurants are great, especially since it's in the center of the city. The sea can be reached on foot, so be sure to rent a sunbed/parasol/beach towel (free) on the first floor and go to Waikiki Beach 👍👍👍 My next trip will definitely be here 😍

Don’t book a room cheaply! *Environmental location, next to Wakiki Beach and on the main road, it is very convenient to be connected in all directions. Convenience stores and restaurants, trolly stations, public beaches, and zoos are all very close and within walking distance. *Room facilities, the hotel has a history of a hundred years, so it is very stylish, but the city view room in the Diamond Building is so bad! ! ! ! Not as good as the new 3 star hotel rooms. (Pictured below are the benefits of room upgrade with the Marriott Platinum Card. I booked the cheapest room, but it turned out that booking through a third party did not provide any membership benefits. In the Maui fire, the hotel was full, and I wanted to upgrade temporarily but there was no room). The room is old, with an area of ​​less than 20 square meters. Morning and night, I am woken up either by cars on the road or by the phone in the next room. A very bad experience! * Service, remind the guests to check the bill carefully. After staying for 5 nights, the wrong bill was charged on 4 days. They checked it out one by one when they checked out, and the wrong money was refunded after 4 days. In short, don't try to be cheap when booking a room. The small and shabby room type is not as good as staying in Hyatt or Marriott. The price/performance ratio is too low!

So....got a great rate on Travelzoo voucher for 4 nights. This hotel has been remodeled and is still in process of completing some work in common areas. Starbucks opened when I was there, and Monkeypod will open in the future. Staff was fabulous! No complaints there. I was able to check in early and got a partial ocean view on floor 11. Room was spotless. My only complaint, and it's a big one for me, is the soundproofing. I should say lack of it! Doors are HEAVY and each open and shut on the floor nearby is a shock to the sleeper. Also, the wind whistled and the band and traffic comes right in through slider to balcony. The band stops at 9, so that was no problem, and very nice. But....I hated the door slams and other interior noises. If you are a light sleeper, I don't think you will enjoy yourself. I wore ear plugs. Location is superb! It really can't be beat. Pool is OK. The jacuzzi was kind of icky. One being closed the entire time, the other kind of grey and the one attached to the pool generally full of kids. No jacuzzi for me. Towels and loungers were readily available. No problems there. We did have a problem at restaurant/ bar with what we think was bad turkey or mayo on a club. My grandson and I got sick within a couple hours. Unfortunately for the maintenance staff there was some cleaning up to do in the bathroom. The staff responded immediately and were so nice about it. I cannot thank them enough. However, when I reported this to the restaurant manager in the morning I was not totally happy with his response. All in all, I would stay there again for what I paid for it.

Stayed here for 1 week,location is great. Right on Waikiki. This hotel doesn’t have its own beach but offers free sitting chairs to bring with you to the beach and towels. Takes 20secs to the beach.Really tall hotel so you can see sunset over the ocean,staff is SUPER friendly. Building is old like all of them on Waikiki,furniture needs updating,mattress is hard but they give you 4 pillows,asked for our room to be freshened up when came back sheets and duvet cover never got changed.Asked next day to freshen up and left sheets same way.Not sure why,cleaning staff spoke perfect English!Mon&Wed they got farmers market downstairs,outrageous prices a Coconut for $20US, a small cup of fruits for $20US,youll also find bracelets and other junk! Overall it’s affordable and central,we didn’t eat on the resort nor used their spa so can’t recommend!
