Nowhere else but The Modern Honolulu can you find such a dynamic combination of laid-back beach life and cosmopolitan excitement. It’s two minutes from the beach – including prime surf spots where locals flock – and walking distance to downtown Honolulu’s galleries and luxury shopping scene. Explore Honolulu’s bars and street food (don’t miss the roadside shrimp trucks), but don’t stray far from the hotel – Iron Chef Masaharu Morimoto’s fine dining concept constantly wins Hawaii’s top accolades, and at night, celeb DJs turn Addiction into a club straight out of South Beach.

Clean rooms, well maintained and in good shape. Location is at the very end of the Waikīkī area, which makes it a bit quieter but still accessible with a short walk (around 10/15 min to get to the real active area). Direct connectivity to the beach without going to the street via the pool area. Nice pool area with adjacent pool bar as well as an indoor restaurant. This is a family friendly hotel with plenty of kids splashing around in the pool, and the pool deck does get quite hot in the late afternoon. Services at this hotel are a bit no frills… no room service, valet (self park available), or spa. Room cleaning provided just once on our four night stay. Hotel was built circa 2010 as a Marriott EDITION and at some point changed to a HGV, at which time it seems a few of the extra services you’d expect of a 4 star hotel were reduced. Some of the common areas feel sparse / empty as a result. Note as an HGV you get no benefits as an HH member, no mobile check in / key, no room upgrades, no F&B credit. Overall design is modern minimalist, which was actually quite nice after a long day of the chaotic Waikīkī downtown area. Overall a great deal, would recommend.

The rooms are small. The air conditioner in the room didn't work well. There are little ants everywhere. The furniture is low to the ground and uncomfortable. The bed is on a platform low to the ground and is like sleeping on rocks. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The pool are is nice and I liked they have an adults only area. They were able to store luggage for you if you have an early arrival or late departure. Within walking distance to alot of places.

Decor is worn and dated. Major traffic noise and we were by elevator so that was constant. No dresser, you can hurt yourself reaching for TP. Bed uncomfortable.
