We purchased a 5 night stay at a to be named Hilton property tied to 2+ hour timeshare push at the Waikiki properties. Not a first timeshare sales push but our first time where we ended at a lower end property. The plus is that the Doubletree is very close to Waikiki Brewing and the cafe on the Lower Lobby level is reasonable and delicious. All the staff were helpful and friendly. The pool area is a major disappointment. Although there are lounge chairs and sofas there are no umbrellas for shade. The tile near the pool is slippery when wet. The rooms not facing the street are quieter but view from lower floors is depressing. The bathroom is small. There’s an approx 8” step/ledge into the shower. Step up and slide into the shower. The grab bar is not just for the elderly. Make sure you use a bath mat or you can slip and slide out of the shower

Rooms are pretty standard. They don't provide lotion or other bathroom amenities in the bathroom other than shampoo and soap. Parking rates per day is $50 and its valet only (no self-parking). Overall, a motel with a good location.

Too far from the beach. Solid 15-20 min walk. If you carry items to the beach (umbrellas, food, water, chair, floaties) a nightmare. Many crosswalks. Travelled with my little one and the distance was not fun. I almost considered getting an uber. It's not far, but when you are carrying a lot of things, it's far enough. Beach chairs and umbrellas are $80 to rent on the beach. I bought a simple umbrella and chair and that worked for me. But the distance of the hotel to the beach its not worth it. Stay closer to the beach if you like to pack a lot of things and have small children. My daughter is 9 years old.
