2/10
Location is great. Right across from the zoo. However, there were issues from the start.
1. If you want a parking space, you'll need to reserve it on a different website from the hotel.
https://www.wghparking.com. Make sure you book it well before your trip. I didn't know this and had to find street parking the first night.
2. If you're booking a CASTLE rsvn, you'll check in at the Waikiki Grand's front desk first. Then you'll be directed to rm 503 to finish the check in. This was a first for me. There the Castle employees will give you your rm # and key code.
3. Pictures on Hotels.com were NOT accurate, at all! City view w/ kitchenette? Umm ok. But where was the couch? Luckily, there was a CAMPING COT hidden by the bathroom or else my son would've had to sleep on the floor.
4. Speaking of the floor. Still had sand on the floor when we arrive. Dirty.
5. If you need the room dark in order to sleep, forget it. The "curtains" were nothing more than sewing material with Hawaiian print on it. All the lights from the walkway illuminated the room at night. It was so bright, I had to cover my face with the blanket just to sleep.
6. The corner of the bed is very close to the kitchen cabinet. Maybe a16 inch clearance? I ended up whacking my shin on the wooden bed frame and ended up with a bleeding cut due to it.
7. Make sure you rotate the TV back against the kitchen wall before you go to bed. Or at least remember to duck.
You get what you pay for. Beware
