Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach

Stayed one night after a week at a resort

Plusy: The location is good. King bed was good. Microwave and fridge were helpful. The lobby was more impressive than the rooms. Staff was helpful.

Minusy: The outdoor hallways for getting to the rooms are scary. The rooms are small for the price. Shower took a long time to get hot. Fold out couch bed not comfortable. Could use some plastic ware. Valet parking was the only choice and very expensive, but maybe that's the going rate in Waikiki. A/C on outer wall doesn't reach inner room unless door and blinds are left open. Bathroom needs a shelf for guests to place their toiletry bags.

Not a "Mainland" stay

Plusy: I had no serious problem with my stay. It was always clean. The staff was very nice and helpful. I found the valet parking was very well handled. It didn't matter how often you were coming in, or going out, the service was excellent. The hotel location was a little strangely placed, but that seemed to be Waikiki. It was centrally, and easily, gotten to.

Minusy: I had reserved a room with two beds and a pull-out sofa, When I got to the room, midnight-ish, we had to call down to the desk and ask that the sofabed be made it. We were advised that it would be "extra" to have done. Also, the room was reserved for 3 adults. There were never 3 full sets of towels. They had to be asked for. Lastly, I am a Marriott rewards customer. I have used the Courtyards all over the states. I found this one to be in offset, older building. The room was nice but nothing was attractive. Everything was squeezed into a small placed. You get two grown men, of 6'7" stature, around the room with 3 beds. Hmph!

Itchy

Plusy: The building looks clean, the staff is friendly

Minusy: Your hotel has fleas... I went all day with not a bug bite outside... I sleep one night and I woke up with three bites on my body. Thought it was from being outside... no... came back the next night. Showered up, made sure there were no no bites. Went to sleep... I woke up with 5.. FIVE... new bug bites. Last night I kept waking up to itchiness and bites. You guys have fleas... I worked in pest control for a while, its not bed bugs, not spiders, not from anything outside... its in your rooms. Please address this IMMEDIATELY.

Good for the price you pay

Plusy: After a last minute confusion with our booking, we went on kayak to find a hotel to stay for the 2 nights/3 days I was here in Oahu. The Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki beach was a comfortable stay. Our room was facing a busy street (Kuhio st) with a bus stop that stops right in front. Thankfully for pandora, my iphone, and speakers, you can drain the sound. Location and price definitely was a plus. The valet were always pleasant and nice, as well as the front desk.

Minusy: The room was small and a bit out dated. The rooms facing the street will get traffic noise.

Plusy: Nice and clean hotel. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Pool is very nice and beautiful.

Minusy: Bathroom is very small. Doors open right to the toilet. You can't even go thru. Very noisy outside all night long. Faucets in the bathroom and kitchen spray water all over the counter and its dripping on the floor. It is too expensive.
