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.

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 ...

Cruise Room Review: Grand Princess L307

Comfy, Rocking Room on the Grand Princess Revised 4/2021 Dear Polite Traveler, What does a person really want in a cruise ship stateroom? Well, I suppose the answer would be different with each passenger. For my hubby and I, we wanted to be able to see the ocean and be comfortable. Since this was a relatively chilly weather cruise, we skipped a balcony room and chose an outside cabin with a window. Not many were available when we decided on an Alaskan cruise anyway. Even so, I think ours was perfect. Not too small and not too expensive. After all, this is our second Alaskan cruise, so I did not feel it granted an extravagant suite. We are not that type anyway. Note : Follow CDC and Princess guidelines when visiting. Always wear your face mask when in public. Where’s our room? We knew our room was on the Lido deck. Check. Nevertheless, we couldn’t find cabin 307. Ever...

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...
