8/10 Very good

Everything was great!
Stefanie, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Our stay was great, the room was very clean, supplies stocked and the front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Only negative comments about our stay: Shower design caused a lot of water to pool on the bathroom floor, and the rug was soaked. Also they need more luggage carts for the amount of visitors.

Roomy, comfortable and clean

Great place. Clean, stylish, roomy. We were there for business but the proximity to the water park is great for families.

Very clean rooms and awesome service.

8/10 Very good

Nicest hotel to stay at if you plan to take advantage of Waikiki water park.
Sheyna, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel though we had to change room due to intermittent vibrating humming sound coming from the central air conditioning pack on top of the building. Our room was right below. The staff were nice and friendly so we were moved from the top to the bottom of the building with no problems.
HENRIK, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Fantastic stay, definitely will return
Kimberly, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The place is very accessible from I90, good place for a family stay.
Cherry, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Be aware that the hotel does not stick to the agreed upon price and will not correct it. They also did not mention that housekeeping is by request only and that there is no longer a manager’s reception despite it being advertised on the website. I had to ask about when breakfast was and about water park access. It would have been nice to be told those things at check in. The coffee and tea in the afternoon was cold (clearly just left over from breakfast). Both the clerk and manager were quite rude about the discrepancy in the price. For the price point I expected more.

Great place to stay!!!!

Comfy and Clean

Comfy bed and clean! Residence Inn’s are top of my list of places to stay. My only complaint is the maid service knocked on our door twice to see if we left yet. First time was around 8:30. We should have put the do not disturb sign on the door.
Amanda, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Thumbs down for shower stall

I’ve never liked the way you have your shower stall. A sliding door would allow steam to stay with you and wouldn’t allow for all the water to spray out on bathroom floor. We’ve stayed at Home 2 and they have a perfect set up!!

Family vacation success!

Family vacation…..3 - 2 bdrm suites. So comfortable & spacious. Had all the extras needed in the kitchenette. Loved that the water park was free to all hotel guests as of 1/1/2025! All staff was very accommodating. We had to leave a day early bc weather. No charges.
