The Waikiki Joy combines comfort, location and value in one package. It has great, comfortable rooms, most with hot tubs. In the heart of Waikiki Beach shopping and dining, great bars and restaurants are 5 minute walks. The incredible city bus line is 1/2 block away and will take you to all the tourist sites in and around Honolulu. The fabled beach and incredible "sunset" catamaran trips are 2 blocks away. The hotel is older, but don't be fooled. The staff is pleasant, helpful and accomodating. Rates are extremely reasonable, so why pay $200-300 a night for a fancy room and a beach view. Spend your $ on other things, like a trip to Maui. We loved it and will return.

My wife & I spent 4 days there on our honeymoon in July '09 and it was very nice. They have a special for honeymooners where you get a free upgrade if it's available. Although it wasn't when we got there (they made up for it by giving us free parking the whole time we were there) the room we did get was clean and the staff was very courteous. The rooms are a little outdated with an entertainment center that has a tape player with no cd. It's right in the middle of Waikiki with just about everything within walking distance. Best of all I left my blackberry when we checked out and they mailed it to me at my old address got it returned back to them and then sent it to me again at my correct address!!! Will definitely stay again

I have stayed here for almost 10 years once or twice a year, I come back because the hotel staff are the best in any hotel in Waikiki,there service is above and beyond what you will get any where else, yes the decor is outdated but in excellent shape and very clean, no you dont have a view of much but I only sleep there, I dont go there to stay in the room, easy to get to and get out of Waikiki and if you rent a car it will be there in 3 minutes out front not 20 minutes like alot of the big hotels

Cleanliness Issues

This hotel is in dire need of updating. The refrigerator was rusty and growing mold making the whole room smell. The bathtub which was described as a full sized oval jacuzzi tub was actually a dingy, pink, tiny, rectangular tub which had mildew under the faucet. We asked to see another room immediately and the front desk let us know that they had nothing else available. He did not offer to have our room cleaned or even offer us a discount he just acted like we were out of luck. Also, the surround sound that they advertised as playing hawaiian music as we entered was not playing and was a very outdated bose system with two front speakers. The wallpaper was peeling and yellowed from cigarette smoke. Also, the non-smoking policy was clearly not enforced as our hallway constantly reeked of smoke. The saving graces of this hotel was that the valet parking was inexpensive compared to other hotels, the location was within walking distance to the beach and the main shopping street, and the continental breakfast was always pleasant. If this hotel was updated and cleaned properly it would be a steal but I would not be willing to stay here again considering the issues we had our first time around.
