Sporting a fun beach motif and an 'underwater' mural in the lobby, this whimsical hotel provides a subtle blending of Hawaii's rich past with today's modern amenities. Built in the shape of a circular Chinese lantern, it is across the street from Waikiki Beach and within walking distance from the International Market Place.

    Spectacular views of Waikiki beach.

    Great location with great views of Waikiki beach. Older hotel but clean and maintained. Eggs and Things restaurant downstairs (10% discount). Friendly helpful staff. Parking lot is always full. Towels available for beach. A/C units are older and not as cool as it could be. Overall a great experience.

    Perfect location

    Perfect location in the heart of Waikiki. Amazing ocean view and a beach just across the street. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The rooms are not so big but well equipped and functional. We stayed in this hotel several times before and we will definitely be back.

    Nothing But Good Times

    Staff was very pleasant, friendly and helpful! Great location, right across from the beach and close to everything! Parking was very convenient and easy. Although the rooms were small they were very comfortable and the room amenities were nice.

    Not military friendly although in a great location

    The hotel was located in a great location that was right next to the beach. The room was small but tiny. The room was clean too. However, although it was listed as an TLA-approved hotel, the staff were not so friendly to the military. The hotel manager was refused to assist the military member for official PCS travel. Overall, very disappointed about the stay due to the poor service and unwelcoming attitude.

    Great little find in a very convenient location across from Kuhio Beach

    This boutique hotel was a great find...it has very cute decor and beautiful views of the ocean and Waikiki (we got an Ocean Front room, but it seems the Ocean View rooms on the sides would have a pretty good view of the ocean too, just not the full panorama). If you don't want full sun most of the day though, ask for a room on the side facing downtown. No need for a pool when the ocean is right across the street! Beach not as crowded as down towards the larger hotels. They have floaties etc. you can borrow. Can walk to downtown shops, attractions & restaurants. We didn't have a car, seems like the lot was sometimes full so could be a problem if you have a car, but everything you need is within walking distance. They also had free Hula shows on the stage right across the street in the mornings when we were there. AC can be noisy when watching TV, but not the end of the world. Would definitely return!
