I must say that I was very happy with the locale and if you want no frills deal, this is it! Price is right and if you want to hang out indoors due to rain and can't go to the beach, just walk across the street and there's beautiful Marriott Hotel with great indoor/outdoor seating area to sip coffee and read papers. . . However; window unit air conditioner and traffic noise level is HIGH, make sure you take ear plugs so you can get a good night's rest. Be sure to attend worship service by the pool on 3rd floor on Sundays, it was just me and the pastor but it was awesome as birds all gathered around us and presence of peace. . .

For the rate this hotel an excellent buy. The room was clean and everything worked. The cooling system maintained a desirable comfort level. The bed was a little soft for my comfort level. It was fine for my wife. The food in the restaurant was good and reasonably priced. The only negative experience i had with my stay at Ocean Resorts was the valet parking. There did not appear to be enough people during peak times, ie in the morning when people were getting their cars for the day, and in the afternoon when everyone was returning. It was especially difficult when people were checking in at the same time cars were being returned for the evening. One afternoon I waited in line for over an hour to get my car parked. I realize the parking is separate from the hotel, but a bad experience here reflects on the hotel. In my opininon the problem could be resolved by bringing an additional person in during peak times. I do not blame the individual doing the parking, they were running their legs off. I think it is a management problem. Otherwise, I consider my stay at this hotel a good experience.

Our stay here was okay. The room was very outdated and definitely needs renovations and somehow we ended up with 2 double beds, which was way to small for a couple. The restaurant was not that great, cheap but food was too greasy. The location to the beach was good, only a couple minutes walk. Overall, might stay again if we were on a budget.

My husband & I stayed in room 1419 at the top floor. We took the elevators at the back (not the towers) and unlike what we had read before, we found them to be very fast, Our room was pleasant with a nice balcony and a wonderful view of the ocean (in-between high rises.) The room had a small fridge in the bathroom and a nice sized TV and it felt very private. It was a comfortable room and we grew fond of it during our stay. I thought of it more like a condo than a hotel room. Even though we liked our room, the restaurant, unfortunately, was terrible. Our first night on the island, we were tired and decided to try it. I got the Maui Maui on the "specials". Not smart. The aroma from the fish made me feel ill. I politely took two bites and sent it back. The nice waiter then brought me the "hamburger steak" which was a hard, thin, frozen patty swimming in canned brown sauce. Mashed potatoes (probably dried) and veggies, which were those frozen or canned mixed pea things. Not good. I hardly ate anything at all. BUT, down the street about a block toward the water is Wolfgang Puck Express, which was great! We also ate at the McDonald, in the neighborhood, which was the worse of any I have ever eaten. Guess they don't have to try in Waikiki. Check out the numerous ABC stores. Lots of stuff to take home for gifts and very reasonable. Good place to get tasty and cheap Kona coffee. The aquarium is within walking distance and a good place to go although at first glance, not very impressive. Go inside and see the wonder of the fish in this area. It is worth the time.

After reading so many mixed reviews, was not sure what to expect. We were very satisfied with the room. Being on the floor with the pool was nice, though it was a bit cool to swim in. Will return again, location was perfect, staff was friendly and the housekeepers were great. We parked our car across the street at the Banyon Condos for 50 dollars a week compared to the 15dollars a day at the hotel for valet only service. great value, no one should complain about this place for the money.
