I had a mixed experience at the Doubletree in Waikiki. The location is definitely a plus, just a short stroll to the beach and nearby attractions. However, the resort fees felt excessive for what the hotel offered, especially since they didn't really feel like a resort. While the staff was generally friendly and helpful, I was disappointed with the lack of a proper upgrade for my room and the parking fees were a real bummer.

Rooms

I was upgraded to a junior suite with views of Waikiki beach, which was spacious and comfortable. The bathroom was nice, and I appreciated the central AC, but I found the TV setup a bit odd since there was only one TV.

Service

6.0

Most of the staff were friendly and willing to help, especially Leslie at the front desk. However, I did encounter a bit of inconsistency with service, particularly regarding room upgrades and check-in process.

Location

9.0

The hotel is conveniently located between Ala Moana mall and Waikiki beach, making it easy to explore the area on foot. I appreciated the accessibility to local eateries and shops.

Dining

The breakfast options were okay; they offered a continental spread and a buffet with an egg station. I enjoyed the complimentary continental breakfast, but if I had to pay full price for the hot breakfast, I wouldn't say it was worth it.

Facilities

5.0

The hotel had a small pool and gym that were fine for a quick dip or workout, but it didn't feel like a resort. The high resort fees were quite frustrating, especially given the limited hotel features.

My stay at the DoubleTree by Hilton Alana Waikiki Beach was a mixed experience. The location is fantastic, being just a short walk from the beach and Ala Moana, plus the staff were genuinely friendly. However, the room cleanliness and value for the resort fee left something to be desired, as it seemed high for what was included.

Rooms

6.0

The room had a great layout with comfortable beds, though I found the bathroom to be smaller than expected. There was good closet space and the amenities like the Keurig and microwave were handy. I did notice the toilet paper holder was awkwardly placed, which was a slight inconvenience.

Service

6.0

Overall, the staff was very welcoming and eager to help. I particularly appreciated the check-in experience with the digital key, which made things easy. However, I encountered some issues with management’s lack of communication about my belongings left behind, which was frustrating.

The hotel is perfectly situated about three blocks from Waikiki Beach, making it easy to explore the area. It’s also close to Ala Moana and other shops, so I had plenty of options for dining and entertainment.

I enjoyed the breakfast options; the buffet was fresh and had a good variety. The omelet bar was a nice touch, and I appreciated that breakfast was included as part of my Diamond membership. I did find the dining experience overall to be good, despite some remarks I've seen.

Facilities

6.0

The amenities were sufficient for a business hotel, but I felt that the resort fee was a bit high for what was offered. The pool area was small, although it had a nice setup. I think having more recreational facilities would enhance the experience, especially since there was no whirlpool.

I enjoyed my stay at the Doubletree by Hilton Alana - Waikiki Beach, with its great location and clean, spacious rooms.

Rooms

My room was surprisingly spacious, and I appreciated the upgrade to a junior suite with views of Waikiki Beach. The bed was comfy, and the climate control worked well. However, the layout with only one TV made it tricky to watch from the bed if the partition was closed.

The location was perfect, just a short walk to Waikiki Beach, and the staff were super friendly.
