Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

It wasn’t to my taste, but it was fresh, hot and the whole area was clean & staffed well. Nice seating area outside

I hoped for a waffle machine, I have enjoyed them in other breakfasts in hotels

Before you book this hotel, here are a few things you should know. The rooms are teeny tiny. If you are a cruiser think of the cheapest inside category with a bed and bathroom. A tiny square box is all you get. That's it that's all. Excellent for ONE night. It was my husband and I and we stayed here for one night leading into our week stay in Ko Olina. Our priorities were Waikiki, bus line, near food, clean and near beach. We wanted to check out Waikiki and climb Diamond Head. So we booked using points plus $19. Upon check out they charged a resort fee, $39.17. This hotel served its purpose. Excellent location. We road The Bus (W route) to the hotel around 1pm on a Saturday. Easy Peasy. The Bus drops you off about a block or so from hotel. We also took The Bus to Diamond Head. It is a long walk to get to the entrance of Diamond Head. A good 30 minutes. Prepare yourself. Next time we will catch Lyft. The hotel is near Numerous places to eat, shop and sight see. Short walk to the beach. Breakfast. If you're an HIE person, it's just like all the other breakfasts served plus green beans. LOL! They give you tickets for each morning of your stay. The hotel is clean. Our room was clean. We didn't have any issues. We left our luggage their Sunday morning at Bell Hop and they locked it up for us before we caught the Bus back to the airport late that afternoon. This is not a 4 or 5 star resort. Hence, do not expect luxury accommodations and amenities. This is not for a long stay if it's 2 or more people. Think cheap clean accommodations for a solo person or college students who are just trying to get to Hawaii. The breakfast is the very simple HIE 3 star breakfast. Yes they have the cinnamon rolls. As long as you know what to expect before you book this hotel you will be fine.

Totalmente central. La ubicación es excepcional.

El desayuno es exactamente el mismo todos los días. No cambio en nada. 5 días duró mi estancia y todos los días fue el mismo desayuno 🙄. Te dicen que debes de hacer la reserva del parqueadero pero no funciona así, es por llegada y así estés hospedado si llegas después de 10 y no hay cupo de malas! El hotel literal es solo para ir a dormir no es del tipo que te permita disfrutar de instalaciones. Pero estuvo bien. Apenas!

Breakfast & location.

Long waiting for elevators.

This was an average Holiday Inn experience. The price is excellent (we paid ~$200 a night during a weekend) and the location is really good. It’s just a little bit of a mess in terms of the logistics. It’s a huge, tall building and the elevators are awful. We had to wait sometimes 10 min+ for an elevator. Many times the elevators would be full so you’d have to wait for the next one. The king size room we had was extremely small. But, it had an excellent view of the mountains and city. The staff was very friendly! The breakfast was not great…but it was free! So, generally it was a mixed bag. I think if you’re on a budget and you’re not spending a ton of time in the room you’ll be fine. I wouldn’t recommend staying here for a week.

Everybody that work there nice and they take good care of you

Staff were very friendly. Breakfast was delicious!

Room was small
