Stayed at the Aqua Palms for 3 days prior to taking a cruise from Hawaii to Australia. Room was huge and clean. Great bathroom as well. Staff very helpful and there was a great restaurant down the block. Breakfast (next door iHop - slow but friendly service) was included. One evening (Thursday perhaps), there was a reception/party in the lobby, with light hors d'oeuvres, drinks and live music.
Parking garage was something else! Had a van (us plus another couple) and negotiating that garage necessitated nerves of steel. Inches of tolerance to park, and an almost vertical approach, so make sure you're up to it.
All in all, a good deal for this hotel. Plenty of things to do within walking distance. I would recommend it. « less

We were pleasantly surprised by the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were a bit small but clean. The beds were comfortable and we had a fridge and microwave. It was just off the strip and once we figured out how to cut thru the park to the strip and the Hilton hotel to the beach we found them within a reasonable walking distance. Our complaints were minor like the air conditioning in the hallway...we froze until we were outside or in our room. The door on the balcony was difficult to open and close-but overall great choice for the rate! « less

I recently stayed for three nights at this hotel prior to taking a cruise of the islands. The hotel is well located, clean and with a very friendly, accommodating staff. I liked the fact the hotel had laundry facilities on the premises. A short walk across the street is the Hilton Hawaiian Village where you can shop for souvenirs or eat in one of the many restaurants. An IHOP is attached to the restaurant, which for us, was very handy for breakfast. The Ala Moana Shopping Mall is just down the street and we were able to take the Waikiki trolley, which stops in front of the hotel. The concierge staff made recommendations and arranged excursions for us during our stay. Overall, a very positive experience. « less

Stayed one night. Check in, per-paid for room, was pretty quick. Parking is adjacent and attached for access via elevator is $20.00 per day. About three blocks from Ala Moana Shopping Center. If your looking for typical fare in terms of restaurants, this is OK. If you ate seeking more upscale or Hawaiian cuisine you'll need to travel several blocks. Room was spacious, clean, with comfortable bed and great pillows. Although our room was on Ala Moana Blvd (busy Blvd) there was no discern able noise in our fourth floor room. So price to comfort make this a great stay! « less
