Our vacation at the Whyland Hotel started with the Valet coming right out to the street dropoff to greet us. The staff remained helpful, friendly and most importanly, very attentive. I would definitely repeat my stay here in the future and will definitely recommend it to my family and friends. The rooms were very comfortable with good water pressure in the shower and wonderfully comfortable beds. The location could not have been more convienent for a tourist without the need for a car rental. Perrrrfect!!
Awesome Stay!

Excellent value for your money! Great location for all things if you don't have a car, and I would say "don't rent one". Clerks at front desk were very friendly, fast and helpful. Room is smaller than most, but we didn't need a larger one. The BEST bed I have ever had in a hotel!City bus stop is right out front door and takes you to Pearl Harbor in about an hour, and marina for boat tours in about 15 minutes, for just $2.00. Down the street a half block gets you to The Trolley and Circle Tour starting points. I would recommend getting a "GoOahu" Card. You will get your money worth if you review it before you go. Kalakaua Ave is a block away for great shopping, and there are numerous restaurants within a short walk. A 5 minute walk to Waikiki Beach. The restaurant, Spada, is very good and has a friendly waitstaff. Room was totally clean at all times. We had two requests and they were handled imediately. I would recommend this hotel and would stay here again for sure!
Far from beach and pool is in the shade

There are great deals in Honolulu right now and this was not a good deal. You go for the sunshine and outside time. The pictures of the pool on the website are very deceiving. The pool is small and is always in the shade. The whole week that I was there the water in the pool and the hot tub was cold. There is no beverage service at the pool. While it is only 5 blocks to the beach, you feel very far away from the beach. There is a lot of traffic between the beach and the hotel. It is on a very loud and busy street.
You can get free breakfast just be aware it is the same exact thing every day and the food is not very good. Just eggs and mini muffins and some fresh fruit. We saw hotels that had breakfasts just a dollar more and offered a wide array of food.
Also, do NOT TAKE THE SHUTTLE the hotel recommends to Pearl Harbor. It is horrible. It took us 1 hour and 45 minutes to get home from there. The public bus would have been quicker and much cheaper. We complained but the driver was afraid to bring the problem to management. The van was also old and not very clean.
Nice place

Nice place, nice people, good time. They have a game room with an xbox 360 and a bunch of over sized bean bag chairs to sit on. They also have a bunch of those chairs that give you a back rub. Happy hour is nice and long and drinks are fairly cheap. Room was a little small but worth the price and then some. Great value.
Good value for the money

Nice, clean hotel. Friendly, helpful staff. Not on the beach, but not very far away either (less than 5 minute walk), so I would say it's a decent location, especially for the price I paid. I only wish I had had more time to stay here, as I was passing through on my way to Australia. I would definitely stay here again.
