Rooms need better maintenance

Rusty_Boy_Loves_Life on May 16, 2025

First, this historic hotel is beautiful. The garden, the beach and surroundings all beautiful. However, room maintenance of this hotel has gone down. We stayed here in the past and can compare. This is ...a 5 star hotel. Therefore should have pristine rooms, super clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, our mattress was repped at the zipper and truly disgusting. See the photo. We complained and mattress was replaced efficiently same day. However, this whole experience ruined the first day impression and whole check in experience. After long flight to get to paradise, the last thing you want to deal it is ripped mattress in a 5 star hotel. Mind blowing. In summary, historic building and surrounding is 5 star, but room maintenance is for sure not. Pink palace is of striking historic beauty and I hope maintenance will improve and check all rooms to be in order. Hiccups like this should not happen and should be prevented. After initial fiasco, we were not even offered free coffee as apology for the initial inconvenience. If we visit Oahu, we will probably stay here again just because we love the historic charm and serenity this hotel has to offer. I truly hope management will inspect rooms and avoid hiccups of this nature. Thanks.

Beautiful historic property on Waikiki!

jmryl2018 (Dallas, Texas) on May 10, 2025

Read the reviews prior to our visit. I was a little concerned about the upkeep of the property, but was pleasantly surprised at how clean and well maintained it was. Our room looked like something out of t...he past. High ceilings and comfortable beds. Bathroom was a little tight, but manageable. Closet was huge. Front desk staff were very accommodating. Since I have a Marriott Bonvoy number and they had availability, we were able to check in early. We found the other staff very nice also. Pool was small, but who comes to Hawaii to sit by a pool. Beach was crowded so we would leave during the day to see other parts of the island. Overall, five stars from us! Mahalo!
