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.

Kauai Vacation: Room Review

The Room Over The Power Plant Revised 4/2021 The Westin Princeville Ocean Resort Villas offers guests beautiful rooms, which include kitchens or kitchenettes, outdoor grills, and a number of pools. Most often, it includes an excellent restaurant, poolside bar, and small store. A large grocery store is within walking distance as well. Thus, the theory is that guests will not have to leave the property once they cross the big pond to reach it. Great theory, but that’s not necessarily true when the only on-site restaurant is closed. Add to that the incredibly loud room...well, let’s just say I needed a break from the property at times. Note : Follow Hawaii and CDC guidelines when visiting. Always wear your face mask when in public. May we just see the room we should have had? After an exceptionally long journey that included a broken plane and a rushed connection—not to mention airport security—we were surprised to find that our hotel had our room ready an hour early.

Look Closer at the Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki

Why We Might Not Return: Hilton Garden Inn, Waikiki My dear polite travelers, Imagine waiting three years to revisit a pleasant memory. You’d probably be thrilled to be on that journey. Right? Well, I am, and ...well, I’m lukewarm to some aspects of it, especially our room: #1537. But the Ocean is Right There! In our room, #1537, we have the ocean view and the fresh breezes associated with it. Still, due to the central, otherwise excellent location, it’s noisy—very noisy. Thus, those breezes remain outside all night. Darn. The pleasant sweet-ocean-air-in-our-room-memory I dream of often eluded us on this trip. Now, it’s just sad. The Good & the Weird Beyond the noise, it is a comfortable room—especially the shower—but there’s not enough counter space. Instead of a long counter or desk, the hotel designer thought a long built-in seat would be a clever idea?? Hint. It’s not. We can only use it to store our suitcases and bulky items. The only place to us

Sonoma, California: DoubleTree Sonoma

Updated 4/2021 Our Stay in the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel Sonoma Wine Country in California As over-worked small business owners, we decided to play hooky traveling through Sonoma County for a couple of days. Since we recently experience excellent service on our last stay in a DoubleTree, we booked a room at their Sonoma Wine Country property in Rohnert Park. Our Journey Through Sonoma County Our drive from our home in Davis pleasant with light traffic. We chose a slightly longer route through Sonoma so we could take in the beauty of the Glen Ellen area vineyards. The vineyards here are quite beautiful with green rolling hills as a backdrop. Arriving at the DoubleTree As we arrived, I mentioned to my husband that since this trip would focus on cheese tasting, it would be perfect if we were given a free upgrade to a room with a refrigerator. The hotel appeared fully booked, so I assumed that was impossible. Astonishingly, when we asked about an upgrade, the polite rec
