Courtyard by Marriott Waikiki Beach

"The place is average and although it has a pool and gym all of which were very clean. It's what it doesn't have or wasn't open like a Bar/restaurant in the hotel or on the grounds...there was a coffee and gift shop. There's nowhere besides the pool to socialize with other guests or get a cocktail or some food (which is nice when you dont feel like leaving the hotel or for a pregame before going out) My son said he talked with more folks while in the gym than anywhere else which to me is real waste of a good opportunity. The potential for them is so much more. The rooms were small the bathroom was dated. It's definitely showing its use and age. Now the one BIG positive was the staff I can't say enough good things about the service I received from the moment we arrived. They were friendly and very polite. They granted every ask and were a great help in answering all our questions. Which I'm sure everyone enjoys. The one big low was the valet service they chose to use although they were polite they made me wait for my car more than once and when I'm paying 60 bucks a day to park my car I expect better service ( they took so long on one day I missed my Dive boat) so add the 300 bucks to my parking rate (no refund from the dive service) but that's a completely different story. The Courtyard did encourage us to file a complaint for reimbursement which now 3 weeks later there has been no response after being told we'd here from them in a couple days after they reviewed their video..? I'm not sure but at 260. a night I guess I shouldn't expect to much. Although I've stayed in other hotels in much larger rooms for the same money but we are talking Waikiki here."

"We spent the day here as we were waiting for our late flight. They got us in a few hours before checkin time which was nice. The downstairs is nice with a pool area and waterfall. The location is just a block from the main strip of Waikiki so you can walk just about anywhere. The rooms were pretty bad. Dated, small, and worse than what you would get from a Disney World value resort. Pretty sure we booked an ocean view, but we didn't get one. I wouldn't want to have to stay in one of them very long."

"Solid hotel for price and location. I feel like other reviewers forget that this is a courtyard in the middle of the ocean. We were upgraded to a suite which was nice and was much bigger than the regular double double room. Good location and walking distance to everything you need. Sure things can be upgraded but being in Hawaii we weren’t in our room much anyway."

"This hotel should not be a Marriott property. My room is on the eighth floor in a tower the Marriott employee called an upgrade. When I stepped on the elevator, I was shocked to see how filthy the floor was, and how dated it looked. Upon opening my room door, I was hit with a smell of dampness. The room was clean; however, the carpet was extremely soiled. The two beds were not queen, but much smaller, probably double. The old adage is you get what you pay for, well I guess I shouldn’t complain. This room cost me just shy of $300 a night. Last weekend I stayed at a Marriott in Chattanooga, TN. It was one third the cost I’m paying here, and was a beautiful, clean property. I realize this is Waikiki, but I don’t understand why Marriott would allow such an old, dated property to carry its name. I’m looking at checking out and paying much more at another non-Marriott property. For the readers who read this, please know if you stay at this property you’ll earn your Marriott points, and you will pay less than the other Marriott properties. However, after saying this, I don’t know how pleased you will be with your decision. Enjoy your family time on Oahu and know this is only an opinion based on all my numerous stays at Marriott properties over the last 30 years. Good luck!"

"Not the worst Courtyard, but the room in the 2nd building looked like an older hotel that was bought, painted and put courtyard furniture in it. Looking at the details, the room was odd and not the best. The living room area was much bigger than the bedroom and the couch had several different color.stains on it. Valet parking is over $50/day, and the room had a wet smell to it. The good: great little pool area with a hot tub. Towels available outside. There is a small gift store and coffee shop in the lobby. There is a mini-golf course there, not awesome, and I didn't see anyone play at all in the 11 days I was there. It was more odd than anything. Gym isn't great, not much equipment."
