1. The only downside of the stay at this hotel was the number of Japanese tourists.

"Nice Location in the center of Waikiki Beach " Read full review on TripAdvisor 5/22/2012 Vote

2. The only downside to staying here is having to be in line before 7:00 am for the privilage of paying $50 to reserve an umbrella on the beach at 7:00 when they start taking reservations.

"Most comfortable beds anywhere " Read full review on TripAdvisor 4/16/2012 Vote

3. What I liked about the hotel- absolutely fantastic location, could not be better- breakfast overlooking the ocean- had a 'four sleeper' room with two double beds, which was ideal with two young children at the timeOn the downside- rooms we had was a little tired and in need of a refurb- breakfast variety is small- hotel pool is very small and very few seats- if you wanted to sit on the beach in front of the hotel, there was a daily (exorbitant) charge.

6. The only downside is that such a desirable location attracts many non guests during the afternoons so the hotel lobby and bar can have a busy, crowded feel during the day.

10. downsides: food in the bar was expensive and not of great quality, we did not eat in the restaurant which was busy and often lined up especially in the mornings (must be good?).
