Subject: Feedback on Stay at Waikiki Marina Resort at During our stay from January 10th to 17th, we experienced a power outage on January 12th, coinciding with my grandmother's 91st birthday celebration. She is wheelchair-bound, and the outage disrupted our plans and safety measures. Additionally, the loud alarm near her room forced us to relocate her, compounded by the non-operational lobby elevator, which posed challenges in navigating alternative routes. With 16 family members across five rooms, the outage disrupted our ability to spend quality time together, especially during significant events like scattering our father's ashes and celebrating our uncle's 70th birthday. The outage also caused practical inconveniences, such as dead or low phone batteries, prompting us to purchase power packs for our devices.

3 out of the 6 days we were there there were power outages on the property and in our unit. Which left us without air conditioning during the day, no pleasant when it so hot out. Also were unable to make lunches which we had gone to the grocery store to buy food for and had to spend extra money going out to eat.

The outside is beautiful! Waterfalls and nice tiles on the floors. The rooms were well-insulated against noise from other rooms. The kitchen was surprisingly well-stocked with everything you would need to make your own meals during a week-long stay. The bad: having no front desk staff from 10pm to 8am at a luxury resort is ridiculous, especially considering how hard it is to figure out where to go when you arrive in the middle of the night. The building is a bit of a labyrinth that takes some getting used to. Our shower's water temperature regulation was broken (hot water kept going cold randomly), which we mentioned to front desk staff. It was never fixed during our week long stay. Front desk said we'd be entitled to fresh towels on the fourth day of our stay, but it appears you have to ask for them to actually get them. The front desk only has one worker, so it's always really busy. While we were there, they were having an abundance of electrical issues that required a total of 15 hours of power outages. As a result, half of the shops in the building were closed during our stay, due to them being food vendors and needing refrigeration to sell food. Valet parking was $45USD which was ridiculous to us considering how much it costed to stay there. The cheapest parking nearby was $27USD, but they don't tell you there's cheaper parking unless you ask. My husband also almost got mugged in the cheaper parking garage. Won't stay here again.

Cheap uber rides to places to hike etc. Room was adequate & as expected. Hotel has lots of amenities. Hilton lagoon is next door and accessible, not as busy as the beach & easier on the feet.

Like that it was a studio apartment style with plenty of room and a kitchen with full fridge if needed. Didn't like that we chose city view but it was incredibly noisy would never choose again as the hotel clearly occupies the lower floors of the complex. Didn’t like the hardsell you get to attend a seminar as part of Wyndham Vacation Club which is a timeshare and not mentioned anywhere on the expedia site when booking this property. Also Cinammons was a disgrace. Staff were uninterested, wiped the table of bird droppings the wiped the menu with same rag. On the flip side Aroma Caffe staff were excellent, friendly, welcoming and helpful. The day we arrived the staff member on duty was clearly overwhelmed.

The major issue was the traffic noise level, sirens, motorcycles, and truck. Very difficult to sleep. I had to use my Bose headset. After 8 pm, no bell man service. Only one small service elevator. If that breaks down, you need to carry all large suitcases up the stairs. Valet guys are no help. They do not offer to help. So elderly and handicapped people beware especially after late hours. Sign posted no luggage or strollers on escalators. It did not matter there were shutdown temporarily during peak hours of check out.

Smells old
There is a "old smell" to the room that we had to keep the sliding door open to "air" the room. The bed is also very lumpy and one of the pillows did not have that smooth feel...it was rough. The toilet has a black chip. The sofa is very old and would not want to use it as a bed. Sad to say, it was tolerable for a 2 night stay but may not be coming back.

The hotel was conveniently located in Waikiki. It wasnt far from places to eat and it's right on the beach. The downside is, it is outdated and their room service sucked. You were only allowed to change out your towels every three days, unless you paid to have them changed. You had to clean your own room and discard of your own trash until then. For the price of the hotel, I wouldve expected a lot more. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone staying longer than three days.

Aloha! We enjoyed this resort. We had a city view more aptly called a Sunrise View. The blackout curtains were no match for that Hawaiian sunshine. Fabulous location. The Bus stopped right in front of the building. Walking distance to the beach, the marina, the shopping district and tons of restaurants. It's a timeshare & a hotel, as so many of the resorts around Waikiki. It has a full kitchen with dishes & pots & pans. It's the resort where the opening scene of the original Hawaii 50 was filmed. We dined at the rooftop restaurant for spectacular views & food. So glad we booked the Ilikai & we will book it again.

Teens were annoyed at that at night. Check in was in a storefront inside the hotel…took us forever to figure out what that meant exactly. Couldn’t find it for thirty minutes. Food in lobby convenience store is twice as expensive as stuff in ABC Store a block away…which is already expensive to begin with. Restaurant closed at 8 even though website said 9. Not a lot of food choices in/near hotel. And no plastic recycling even though tons of bottled waters and juices are sold daily:-/
