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The property itself is a little outdated, could use some improvements but overall is great for sleeping as we stay out all day.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.
