36. Free breakfast was great--look, if you want to go elsewhere for a more luxurious experience, go ahead, but this is FREE, and really helpful when we wanted to get an early start to the day.

52. Here are the pros and cons:Pros- Unbelievable views (get an oceanfront room if you can); it was the best money we spent in Hawaii; we would drink a few beers on the lanai and watch the sunset- beach is right there; we had a 2 minute walk to a nice part of the beach- location - you are in the heart of Waikiki - stores next to the hotel - Tikis Bar and Grill, Wolfgang Puck express, Starbucks, Subway, ABC store- Service was great from the maids to the valetCons-room was ok, nothing too special about it (normal size, refrigerator, table, etc.)-bathroom was small and could use some upgrading-breakfast was free, but all they offer is fruit and muffins-elevator system is little wacky, you scan your room key on a scanner outside the elevator and it assigns what elevator to use; we eventually got used to it- no free wifi, but Starbucks doesOverall we were very happy and would stay there again.

|
58. As other people have said on here in recent reviews, it is like no one has even been offered a free breakfast before.
|
59. Free beach chairs, towels and breakfast daily was a $$$money saver.
|
60. You guys really need to fix that problem- Not sure if this is an Aston thing or a Costco travel thing but Costco advertises this hotel with the following included: Vacation Includes Ground transportation from airport to hotel and return, Partial-Ocean View Room, Daily continental breakfast, 2-for-1 luau, Kids under 12 stay and eat for Free.
|
61. The rooms were very clean and they even provided a free lunch pail/cooler to put your free morning breakfast in.

|
66. the worst thing about this hotel was defently the elevators, they were so slow, and since this hotel offers a free breakfast everyone rushes down at once and it takes about 10 mins to get an elevator down to eat.

68. All in all, great location, fair value, free continental breakfast.

96. AWBH is right across the street from a beach (no hotels between you and the beach to block the view)which is protected by a sea wall (great for swimming and kids) and just a tiny walk will take you to an unprotected beach for surfing, boogie boarding, etc. The room was spotlessly clean, reasonably sized, a lanai for great people watching and surfer watching, flat screen tv, free breakfast (you can purchase additional items such as omlettes, Belgian waffles, etc.), free chairs and towels for on the beach, and the most pleasant and helpful staff I've ever encountered in my travels.

195. A little tip - if you have lunch or dinnr at Tiki's or spend $25 on Tiki merchandise (the on site restaurant) you get a free breakfast the next day.
|
196. The only times they would not come fast was when there was 'free breakfast rushhour' which was at 9:00 am when the breakfast was almost over and people were either rushing to get their breakfast before it finished or when people would take their breakfast to the room.
|
197. However, with free breakfast and lunch for everyone, this was not a real concern.
