Very good

The Hilton Garden Inn Waikiki...

Liked: The hotel is well situated in Waikiki and is conveniently located near many restaurants. There is a bus stop close by. The room was well cleaned to a schedule of our choosing. The beach is a short walk away.
Disliked: The room was not as depicted in the listing, it did not have a balcony with seating. The room was situated next to the elevator shaft, which led to noise associated with it operating (not guests). As many other guests have observed the resort fee does not represent value for money.

Very good

Liked: Good size clean modern rooms with a Keurig coffee machine and small balcony. Good nice shower area, slept well on the beds. The WiFi was good but there are areas in the hotel where you don't have Wi-Fi which was sometimes annoying when you were trying to order an Uber. The location is perfect it's close to many shops and restaurants right opposite from Saks fifth Avenue and international Plaza. It's still about 10 mins walk to the beach but you can easily walk through The Mall to get there. We were able to check in early around 12:30 which was nice and we stayed on the 16th floor. I also liked the Neutrogena bath products.
Disliked: The vallet parking is $50 a night which is expensive. The bathroom has a sliding door which was not convenient.

Fair

Liked: General location and the room was clean and of nice standard
Disliked: reception was hopeless. we ended up being misdirected and wasting over 1 hour of our timeThis wasn't the only isolated contact with reception that was less than satisfactory.
