Wayfinder Waikiki

Location was perfect for our work trip. Easy walkability to many shops, restaurants, and beach. Coffee shop in the lobby was perfect, esp for the early mornings. Pool area was so-so, restaurant had good poke, according to my co-worker. Staff was superior and very friendly!

My room view was of a rooftop and trash alley, even tho I requested same rooms for my co-worker and I. His overlooked the canal. Parking was undesirable, at least the first night when valet was full and we had to park in a structure several blocks away and walk back. And then find it again early the next morning. After that we were able to park at the hotel.

Really enjoyed our stay at Wayfinder. The room was a great size with a lovely balcony and bathroom. I particularly enjoyed the activities such as the stretching class which was fab and a great lei making session. Great selection of cocktails and food and a nice pool and hot tub. The hotel staff were welcoming and friendly, we even got a free bottle of wine for our honeymoon and the bed decorated with flowers which was very nice and much appreciated! The location is great as you are close to shops, restaurants and beaches we even walked quite a few places. Lots of bus stops nearby which was very handy, particularly for going to and from the airport. You do need exact change or a travel card for the bus though.

I don't know if the stairs were accessible but we couldn't seem to find them so more signs for these would be helpful as it would have been nice to walk up/down a few times instead of waiting for the lift every time. One of the table lamps in our room also wasn't working but still plenty of light so wasn't really an issue. It was quite expensive but I think that is everywhere in Waikiki.

Loved the Pool Studio. The decor is nice in the room. The hotel itself is well decorated. Nice and helpful staff. The restaurant is so nice to have for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Loved having the poolside bar option, too. And honestly had no trouble with street parking (probably lucked out).

Hot tub was nice Location was convenient Room was decently-sized

Noisy, located next to a busy street but they didn’t bother to use any sound-proofing, you can here EVERYTHING on the street very loudly, it feels like the glass was not even there. AC was super noisy as well. Also there’s no sound proofing from the hallway, you can here everything from the hallways, like detailed conversations. No vacuum during housekeeping, for a hotel in Waikiki you’d honestly expect guests to come back with some sand, not on purpose, but inevitable. It doesn’t feel like the room was vacuumed at all during our stay. We had to use the used towels to mop the sand to a corner so it wasn’t gritty to walk on. Only 2 bottled water was provided at check in, when I asked the front desk for more to bring on our trip during the day they refused and advised me to use the refill station to refill the disposal plastic water bottle? This feels pretty dumb since it cost next to nothing for hotels to stock and provide. Expecting guests to refill a disposable plastic water bottle is ridiculous especially for our week long stay. Restaurants staff seems to be unbothered by you at all if you just want to redeem the free welcome drink, the welcome drink states that you can redeem soda at the hotel restaurant, we went and just tried to have a coke but was told to go to the bar. I guess overall you get what you pay for, for Hawaii price anyway. This place is cheaper than most other hotels in the area for a reason.
