Windward Coast Historic Hotel

"The room was not as clean as I would have liked upon check-in (stains on walls and curtains, hair in bathroom, spots on faucet, sand on balcony) but the staff made up for it by cleaning the room perfectly everyday. The housekeeping manager personally called to apologize which I never expected. Overall this hotel is good but what makes it great is the staff so kudos to all of them. "

"Property was really clean and offered great amenities! Would stay here again! "

"This was a very convenient location in Waikiki. The hotel itself was in good shape with friendly staff and nice amenities (pool, hot tub, fitness center, beach towels). There was good food all around the hotel area, and the beach was only a block away. Lots of bus lines run right past the hotel — including the airport bus, so getting around town was easy. "

"The staff was so friendly. Everyone was wonderful! My showerhead was the only issue as it kept falling off the shower head and spraying water everywhere. The location is great though! "

"Very polite customer service . Room always cleaned. Free breakfast was a plus. Very lovely .very spacious . Enjoyed our vacation. Thank you Hawaii for the lovely memories!!"

"The property itself is nice and well-located, but overall, I felt there was significant room for improvement especially for the price. The check-in process was disorganized, and very little was explained. I had to figure out basic details on my own, including property information and the purpose of wristbands. While a few staff members were helpful, most interactions felt rushed or dismissive, as if questions or requests were an inconvenience. The biggest issue was how overcrowded the resort felt. There were many non-hotel guests using amenities, particularly the pools, and wristbands were not being enforced. On the night of the fireworks, non-guests were openly using the pool area and taking up seating meant for paying guests. Cleanliness also seemed impacted by the volume of people. Restrooms were limited, often far from key areas, and frequently dirty. At one point, I even saw a homeless individual using the drinking fountain, which added to the sense that access to the property was not being managed. On a positive note, housekeeping was excellent, and the baggage hold staff were friendly and helpful. Staff also recommended nearby offsite parking, which saved money compared to the expensive on-site parking. However, considering the high cost of the stay and food on property, the experience did not feel exclusive or worth the price. The atmosphere felt somewhat bland, and improvements like better poolside service, music, or activities could enhance the experience."

"Good."

"The breakfast vouchers that were included with my stay included a full breakfast every morning at the Monkeypod restaurant, which was a nice perk. The pool was very crowded with lots of kids and the elevators were often full and had to wait sometimes for one that was not already packed."

"great location"
