Hotel Room Review: Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel

Beautiful Ocean View in Comfortable Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel, Room 3112

Revised 4/2021

Dear Polite Traveler,

I thought I knew the Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel inside out, up, down and front to back, but I learned a few new facts on our second visit. (Please read my first review) The things I adore are still the same. One of those “things” was our room, which was upgraded due to our Hilton Honors membership. The room was spacious, beds comfortable and the view is to drool over. However, there is much, much more though.

Please read my recent “review” post on this hotel.

Note: Follow CDC and county guidelines when visiting. Always wear your face mask when in public.

Beds in Hilton Waikiki Beach Hotel, Room 3112

Comfy Room Details

I found the room squeaky clean, décor bright and welcoming, and the furniture comfortable. In fact, the bed was so comfortable, I slept with our slider open all night, even with city racket, which included a good deal of construction noise. (This area tends to be in a constant state of heavy-duty construction.)

The same as last visit, we had a large flat-screen television, refrigerator, coffee maker, and lanai. What was new, is that each room now has an electric tea kettle. Woo-hoo! I love these, as I drink tea all day.

This is News to Me!

Now this was a surprise. I was disappointed by the absence of a microwave. After all, this room is supposed to be an “executive room.” In my mind, “executive” translates to “there should be a microwave in the room.” I know, silly. But, that’s me. So, if you feel the same and want one, simply ask. One will be delivered. Cool, huh?

New as well, is something I learned about M.A.C. 24/7, but you’ll have to read my review on this post to find out more.

Pluses & Minuses of The Hyatt House Vacaville

Beautiful But Needs Adjustments to its Accessible Rooms My Dear Polite Travelers I recently read about a new Hyatt House and since I needed a short brain-tidy-vaca near my home base in Davis, CA, I ventured twenty miles west to the sprawling city of Vacaville, the shopping mecca of our general area. The Lobby/Bar/Restaurant Walking into the lobby, I noted calming tones, striking art, décor, and welcoming faces. The registration staff was delightful and efficient. The attractive bar and eating area are tastefully decorated and have ample seating areas. In fact, the entire area was so lovely that I brought many of those decorating ideas home with me. The restaurant’s menu was limited and similar to what is typically found at bars: hamburgers, pizzas… etc. I ordered a hamburger which was delivered overcooked. Grr… Accessible Room 133 First off, this is a gorgeous room filled with outstanding artwork. It includes a kitchenette, small ...

Arizona: The Grand Canyon

Four Hours Visiting The Grand Canyon Updated 4/2021 I have an idea why the Grand Canyon is called “Grand”. I theorize it’s because “Awesome Canyon” sounds more like stoner talk. Joking aside, it is quite awesome and grand. Recently, I was lucky enough to have a few hours to gaze wide-eyed at our big hole in the ground. Since we (hubby & I) had only four precious hours, please follow along with what I found most important to see. Note : Follow CDC and all park guidelines when visiting. Wear a mask and social distance. First Stop The first place to stop for those with limited time would be the visitor’s center. Don’t worry about missing it. There are plenty of signs pointing the way. There, we found information offering park rangers, giant exhibits (displaying the entire canyon, trip planners, canyon-related history, and science), and a movie theater...

I expected more from the Hyatt Regency Sonoma Wine Country Hotel

My Dear Polite Travelers, Our first stay in a Hyatt was less than stellar. In fact, it’s more of a mixed bag of frustration and comfort. The hotel was beautiful, don’t get me wrong. It was just … incomplete. Really? Room #281 is considered accessible ? We booked an accessible room due to my hubby’s back issue—a typical old-person problem. Typically, an accessible room would naturally have a shower with ease of entry. In room #281? Nope. Getting into a tub requires some dexterity that a mobility-challenged person may not have. This is a major problem that should be addressed. I hope Hyatt is listening. Other than that oversight, there were no towel bars in the bathroom — strange. Plus, it would have been logical if there was at least one hook for clothing/robe in the bathroom as well. And, speaking of robes, robes are an accessory in these rooms. There were none. In fact, I had to call down f...
