This was my first time using a hotel condominium, and it was comfortable. Check-in and check-out were done in room 512. Although the business hours of the management office and the front desk are different, there was no problem if we informed them in advance that we would be checking out early in the morning. The view from the observation deck in the common space is spectacular. I stayed in room 515, and the view from the lanai was wonderful as you could see Diamond Head and the ocean at the same time. In January, I was lucky enough to see the sun setting over the sea. I really liked the interior of the room and the plants. The kitchen was easy to use and had plenty of cooking utensils. The hospitality of all the staff was also wonderful. Thank you for your kindness.

The hotel could not be in a better location. Half block from the beach, near everything restaurants, mall, bars, downtown. The price we got is unbeatable for the location.
The property itself is a little outdated, could use some improvements but overall is great for sleeping as we stay out all day.
My room had a full kitchen with stove, microwave, fridge and full kitchenware.
Depending on how you book you could book with Waikiki Grand Hotel (building name) or could be with Castle Resorts (like a management co.) So from what i understood if you book with Castle Resorts (my case) most units a privately-owned and each individual owner does what they want as far as updates in the unit my unit wasnt too bad the only complaint was the mattress too old and hard on your back but after the first night you get used to it.
It is a little weird how they operate so dont judge the book before you "read".
So you register at the front desk as you normally would but if you booked with Castle Resort you have to go to a room in the 5th floor felt a little sketchy and do a real check in there, room is jam packed with hotels supplies, almost like a hoarder, but once you past that you will be ok.
Other thing there is no room service and if you need supplies you have to go to the 5th floor room yourself to get it. And the cleaning fee you pay at check in is only for the checkout cleaning, does not include room service.

The hotel room felt like it was someone’s old room. The sheets you sleep in feel like someone’s old sheets. The blanket was gross looking. The room itself was cool. There is no way to turn off the TV. The power button doesn’t do what you think it’s supposed to do. There is no cleaning service while you are there. I was there over a week and the room did not get cleaned once. I could tell by the build up of sand you end up with in your room. I tried to keep it maintained but you’re at the beach all the time it’s impossible. But you will be charged a cleaning fee, although the cleaning is clearly not to make your stay more comfortable. Oh and I hope you don’t like sleep. Because although this is of no fault of the hotel, it is what it is. There are a few roosters that hang out at the park across the street. They crow when it’s dark basically. Not at sun rise. They crow all the time. The doors can muffle the sound slightly, but you will be hearing them.
