Very family friendly

We are a family of four, and we had a very nice stay at the ResortQuest Waikiki Sunset. Our room had an ocean/Diamond Head ... view, which you could enjoy from the balcony as well as from the large bedroom window. The hallway carpeting and doors are a very dated pea green, but the rooms were nice. The hotel was located very conveniently a couple of blocks from Waikiki beach, and the beach towels were provided by the hotel. Our suite had a twin and double bed in the bedroom, as well as a sofa sleeper in the living room area. The kitchen was fully equipped--all you have to do is provide the food. It saved us a lot of time and expense to be able to eat our meals in the room, especially breakfast. Our kids were to receive a free gift and a discount card for various places and venues when we checked in, but they forgot. When we asked the front desk about it the next day, they provided the items. We had a rental car which we parked at the hotel parking lot for an $11.00 daily fee. There was internet access for a fee on the 6th floor. The pool was also there, but we didn't get the chance to use it. All in all, I would stay there again, and would recommend it to others.

Excellent Value

The Waikiki Sunset is an excellent value for the money. Close to everything at a value price. The staff is very friendly ... and attentive. The rooms are large with a separate bedroom and living room. Full kitchen to prepare meals if you want to. We had an excellent view of Diamond Head with peek-a-boo views of the ocean from our balcony. This is an older property and it shows it age, but they were starting a major renovation during our visit. Parking is available for $11 a day which we found to be a great value as well. Nice pool and walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and the ala wai canal. We will definately return for another visit in the future,

VERY FRIENDLY STAFF

Our stay at the Resort Quest Sunset was very nice from check-in to check -out. With the beach just 3 blocks and food in town ... we could have stayed longer. The pool and facilities were great and the staff were very helpful. The elevators were just fine -remember you are on hawaii time! We would definitely stay again knowing we had the full kitchen condo. It felt like home for a week anyways! ALOHA

Good Value

The Waikiki Sunset offers a condimidium at hotel rates just blocks from the beach. Some rooms even have a Diamondhead view. ... There is a full kitchen with all needed cookware, grills on site and a lanai for relaxing with a cup of Kona coffee or cocktail. In addition to the king bed in the separate guest room, the couch converts to a double bed. We had to have the air conditioner adjusted as it operated on a motion sensor which would revert to 78 degrees unless it sensed motion in the room; too warm when we returned to the room after a day at the beach.

Home away from home,only this one is in paradise!!

Our bed was just like mine at home. Our children enjoyed the swimming pool as we watched them from the balcony. I'm happy ... to say at their ages of 9 and 12 we were able to give them a little free time to play without any problems. It was very hard to leave such a beautiful vacation. We are hoping to return very soon. This my way of celebrating my wife's birthday. It was a big success!

Some Rooms OK, some filthy

Sharon, Manchester, NH Apr 3, 2008

This is lower end of spectrum. The first room we were assigned was absolutely filthy. The second room was OK. The showers ... and kitchens were marginal at best, and the floors were really disscusting. We did not spend much time here, and we were looking for cheap. This place was a couple of blocks from the ocean, and the walk was not pleasant. The noise from the fire engines and ambulances was a lot like New York City. If you are looking for cheap, this is it. You might be lucky and find a unit that is not filthy. Certainly not paradise. Yuck.

Good location but need renovations

Location was good, couple of blocks from beach. Had good experience with check-in etc. Hotel charged 11 $ per night for ... parking. Room size was ok but furniture and carpet conditions were poor. Especially, carpet was too sticky and dirty.

great location

The location is really convenient to shopping, zoo, aquarium and most restaurant/ fast food. The room was cleaned daily ... however the furnitures were dusty. The bed was not comfortable (sagging). The staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, we are satisfied with this hotel and may return next time.

basic clean place to sleep

The Resortquest Waikiki Sunset is a reasonable hotel at a great price. It's a little older but fine for us because all we ... wanted was a clean place to shower and sleep. They won't allow you to check in early, but they will store your bags so you can shop or eat while you wait for 3:00 to roll around. The 4 elevators are inadequate for the hotel - they were often so full we would wait for the next one; and even on lower floors you can't take the stairs because the doors are locked on every level except the lobby - this is an understandable security precaution, but it would have been nice to be able take the stairs instead of waiting for the lift, especially going between the 5th and 6th floors where the convenience store and the pool / business center are located. The full-size kitchen was nice to have, altho we didn't use it much. The laundry room on our floor (7) had 2 washers and 2 dryers, the dryer ran very hot so pay attention to your clothes. The shower curtain was not up to the task, the bathroom floor was always wet after a shower. All in all, not great luxury but a clean place to sleep in Waikiki, definitely good if you are on a budget and would rather spend your money on activities than on a swanky hotel.

Good value for your money

You are getting a condo unit for the price of a hotal room. Very comfortable and adequate space, plus benfits of a kitchen. ...

The Resort Quest was a decent enough stay. It's two blocks from the beach and the strip, so you are close to all the shops ... and resturaunts. The view from the hotel was beautiful and the condo rooms were nice enough. But you could tell that the hotel has not updated their rooms in some twenty years. The furniture was old and beat up and there were several things in our room that could use some fixing. But if I wanted to be completely satified with these things then I would have paid more money to stay at a four or five star hotel. For what the hotel cost and all that it offered, I was completely satisfied with my stay. I have only two real complaints. One: The elevators are extremely slow for the first half of the day. Even though there are four of them you could find yourself waiting for as long as then minutes for one to come. A real buzz kill sometimes. Two: There is no room service. The hotel has no kitchen so if you find yourself hunger in the morning and want an omelette or something, you're out of luck. But as I said, all in all one should be happy enough,

Reviews that I read before my trip complained about the elevators. They were absolutely right as it always seemed we were ... waiting for an elevator to arrive....one day I waited 15 minutes. Parking is also very tight, i.e, narrow and I can see why people there are so good at reversing into the stalls. Remember that parking is additional cost per day. I got a standard room which could use some renovation. Convenience store in the hotel is very expensive and places to eat are at least a couple of blocks away. Hotel staff are very friendly.

Very Nice!

Not the best hotel, but The Resortquest Waikiki Sunset is by far better than a lot of the others. Condo style rooms with ... seperate bedroom and a living room area with a pull-out queen sofabed plus a full-sized kitchen with kitchen range/oven and regular sized refrigerator, microwave oven, toaster and coffee maker. The balcony w/table and chairs(2)was nice as well. Ocean view was a bit obscured by other hotels but we could see Diamond Head one way and surfers out on Waikiki Beach the other way! Not great but not bad! This was good for us because we wanted to cook some of our meals(mostly breakfast)and two couples could have privacy as the rooms were seperate and not open like other hotels. Location was OK on the quiet side of Waikiki, unless you want to party down the main area of Waikiki where most of the shops and nightclubs are at. It's a bit of a walk though. There is a Starbucks, Burger King and Subway close by on Kalakaua,(the main strip down Waikiki)as there is no resturaunt in this hotel(why have one if you have a full kitchen to use? but there are places to dine down the road). There was dining specials all the time at the Ocean Resort Hotel nearby at their resturant/grill. Anyone can go there.. The staff here was good and very friendly and the room was always clean and we always had fresh, clean towels, soap, lotions, etc. everyday and our beds were made and sheets were changed if we requested it. It's 5 min to the beach and you have a bus stop on the corner of Kuhio to take you to either downtown Waikiki, or historical Honolulu where the Iolani Palace is, Chinatown, or the Ala Moana Shopping Center, the piers near Aloha Tower, etc.. or anywhere on the island such as Pearl Harbor, Haunauma Bay, etc... Oahu's transportation is second to none! Only $1 and a bus shows up every 5 or 10 min.. OR you can take the trolley for a more scenic view. Costs a little more but some are free to the Galleria and Hilo Hatties(shopping venues). If you have a car rental you can park in the garage for $9/day(that was a downer!) but there are worst rates in town to park. Very tight garage stalls so watch out! There is a pool, mainly for the kids and women to lay out and tan and there is a tennis court and a gas-grill cooking area. There is a mini-mart on the 5th floor for much needed items like sugar, coffee, band-aids, sunscreen, pop, snorkel masks and fins, etc.. and on the 6th floor near the pool is a computer room and wi-fi area for laptops. Overall, we liked it a lot and would recommend it! Not the fanciest but great for families or two couples as rooms could acccomodate up to 5 people. VERY GOOD STAY!!...

not worth for the money

salvador, San Diego, CA Jul 21, 2007

ResortQuestSunset Waikiki was one of the worst hotel that we've stayed-in & taking it that it was our firttime ever to spend ... one week in a hotel. The room was so unclean, i even crashed a baby roach, that means, there are more cochroaches lurking around. Worst also, was their small appliances like their rice cooker, it was rusty and needs immediate replacement; their utensils like their non-stick spatula, as well needs immediate replacement as well as thier dish drainer, there are all rusty. what happened to building inspector in Hawaii, you don't get what you pay for. The glass windows are not clean at all. This is truly a very disgusting hotel. The room is so noisy, I couldn't get enough sleep, i have to turn on the radio to camouflage the noise, perhaps, the noise is from the airconditioning or something for their utility system. Actually, when I got home, I was having terrible headache---it could be from too much noise in that room. IT IS ABSOLUTELY GROTESQUE!!!!!! Afterall, we did not get what we paid for from staying in this hotel. Also, it was so stinky, we even to have to buy our own air freshner!!! Also, noteworthy, I went to this Internet Cafe and asked for Restroom keys and the attendant there was sooooo inconsiderate, he went to ask me if I have a business there. I said I just needed to use the restroom(I'm glad i didn't got an accident there in front of a lot of people), in short, he did not let me use the restroom. It is so frustrating that with this petty thing, it would ruin my vacation of a lifetime---in Hawaii.

Low Cost

Mary Jean Jul 12, 2007

While this hotel was a short walking distance to the beach, the immediately surrounding buildings were in disrepair. The ... view we had from our balcony was of both Diamond Head and the ocean because we were on the 18th floor and could see between and beyond other buildings - very nice! While the entire hotel could use a sprucing up, it was kept clean by a very friendly staff. And, while this wasn't luxurious, it provided a kitchenette, living room with pull-out couch, and a bedroom at a reasonable cost.
