The hotel is like four blocks from the beach. The rooms were small for one bedroom suites. We had to change the rooms three times before we could get an acceptable one. The first two rooms had stains in the carpet and on the walls. They were to take the first two rooms off market but we later found out that they later booked those rooms. We heard the people complaining to the desk about the condition of their rooms. Need to renovate and all will be good.
Wonderful nights at the Wyland Waikiki, now Courtyard by Marriott

The room was very comfortable and beautiful! I had upgraded my room to the queen sized bed with a microwave in room. All of the staff very helpful. The valet was always eagerly running to get my rental vehicle for me and recommended terrific local places to visit and eat that I wouldn't have known about just from reading a book or web search on Hawaii. The housekeeping service provided were always good at making sure that the room was clean. I never heard my neighbors through the walls. The pool was nice for swims and to relax. There was a room with 2 xboxes and plasma tvs, also quite a few massage chairs for those who wanted to sit in their game room. The hotel provided the controllers and had a selection of games to choose from. It's a little cold in there so bring a jacket. Be sure to have plenty of quarters if you plan on using the washing machine and dryer. The showers are enough to fit one person only. They have a vending machine for Tide but not for dryer sheets. The bartender there made the best pina coladas I've ever had!!! The food from Spada for room service was delicious! I was extremely pleased with my stay there and would stay there again during my next trip to Hawaii.

The hotel was very average. The rooms are incredibly small. The staff was polite, but every time you asked a simple question you got sent to go ask some one else. The restaurant staff was awful. One morning we waited over a half hour for our bill, we finally had to go ask for it and were told it would be brought to us. It took another five minutes to get to us. Also the walls are very thin. If your neighbor opens and shuts their door it sounds like someone is in your room.
First Trip to Hawai'i, Hotel was OUTSTANDING

This was my first trip to Hawaii and I traveled there by myself for vacation. The hotel staff was very very nice and welcoming. I decided to upgrade to a one bedroom suite when I checked in. The room was a little chilly when I walked into it, but i quickly turned down the air and it was comfy. The room was spacious, clean and elegant. I had maid service everyday with fresh towels, the maids cleaned my dishes in the little kitchen area i had from the night before, only downside was that the water did not get as hot as i would have like it to be during my showers as I like very hot showers. The pools and hot tub were very nice. the WyBar was very close to the hot tub so i can walk right up to the bar to get a cocktail and bill to my room, then walk back the short distance to the Hot tub. During the last 2 nights of my stay the hot tub was not quite as warm as it was the previous 6 nights but still comfortable. The bar tenders at the WyBar and Spada Bar were very friendly and welcoming. It's too bad that I can not mention the hotel emplayee names in this review because there are two employees that I would love to mention by name as they helped make my stay etremeley memorable. This hotel was very close to the life of Waikiki (food, shops, etc...) and also a very short walk to Waikiki Beach. However i do recomend going to North Shore during your stay, as the beaches in North Shore are prettier. Overall, my 8 day stay was well worth it at this hotel. You will really love it, I gaurantee it.
