Standard Room FAQs
What does the Standard Room actually look out onto?
The Standard Room sits within the hotel’s 44-story tower a few blocks back from Waikiki Beach, so rather than an ocean view it gives you a quiet, local Waikiki street setting close to the Ala Wai Canal, with the beach itself an easy walk away.
How are the beds set up and how many people can stay comfortably?
You can choose 2 double beds or 1 king bed, and the room is designed to comfortably sleep 2 guests, making it a good fit for couples or solo travelers who want a simple, well-equipped base.
Does this room have a balcony or terrace?
The Standard Room is an interior-focused city room without a private balcony or terrace, so the emphasis is on comfortable indoor space paired with the hotel’s shared outdoor areas, like the 5th-floor Skydeck, for fresh air and views.
What is the bathroom like in this room?
The bathroom includes a bathtub and shower combination, a private bathroom setup, fresh towels, toiletries and a hair dryer, giving you everything needed for a straightforward, comfortable stay after a day exploring Waikiki.
How does the Standard Room compare to other room categories at the hotel?
The Standard Room is the hotel’s most compact and budget-friendly option at 269 sq. ft., while higher categories typically offer more square footage or upgraded views; this room keeps things efficient with the same core comforts, including a refrigerator, microwave and flat-screen TV.
What is included with a stay in this room category?
Every stay includes the complimentary hot Express Start Breakfast served daily in the Great Room, plus access to the 5th-floor Skydeck with its outdoor pool, jet spa, mini-golf, game room and unlimited filtered water through the property’s daily amenity access.
Is this room a good fit for a family or just couples?
With a sleeping capacity of 2 guests, the Standard Room suits couples or solo travelers best; families needing more space or an extra bed configuration may want to look at a larger room category, though the hotel overall is family-friendly with a kids’ game room and mini-golf.
How far is this room from the beach and pool?
Waikiki Beach is an easy walk of just a few blocks from the hotel, and the property’s own 5th-floor Skydeck pool and jet spa are available on-site, so you don’t have to go far to cool off between beach visits.
Is the Standard Room on a quiet part of the property?
Positioned at the gateway of Waikiki on a more local street near the Ala Wai Canal, the hotel’s setting tends to feel calmer than the beachfront strip, while still keeping restaurants, shops and the convention center within easy reach.
What should I know about this room that isn't obvious at first glance?
Even though it’s the entry-level category, the Standard Room comes with a refrigerator, microwave and coffee/tea maker as standard, plus free Wi-Fi and daily housekeeping, so it’s more self-sufficient than a typical compact city hotel room.
