Hawaiian Ebbtide Hotel — Hotel in Honolulu

My fiancé and I had a great experience at the Hawaiian Ebbtide Hotel. We stayed for three nights to participate in the Susan G Komen 5K run at Kapiolani Beach Park. Mr. Kumai gave us a great deal basically worked out to $90 a night including parking. The rooms are long and narrow but have very nice kitchenettes with full stoves, microwave oven, fridge, toaster, cable TV and WiFi. Room comes with plates, cups Ana silverware for four people. There is a big air conditioner above the door which keeps the rooms cold! The beds are comfy but you might want to bring some nightmare. The rooms will get cold at night.

The hotel is one block from Waikiki Beach and less than a block away from the international shopping center. It has a small liquor store, a beauty shop, nails and tattoo shops in the hotel, so no need to go far for drinks or services. Security is good plus there are HPD patrols all hours of the day and night. The hotel has a gated parking lot. The owner will provide you with a garage-door opener-device to access the lot. He also has washer/drier service and employs people to clean and take care of the grounds.

There are two minor issues: The hotel is right on Kuhio Ave and has a lot of traffic noise with motorcycles, buses, loud cars and loud people passing by. Bring some ear plugs. Traffic does get calm around 2:00 am. While there is a lanai, there is no charming views. You're looking at traffic and other buildings, but if you're not there to gaze at life, you won't care!

The owner is real nice and will work with you! One more thing: he doesn't provide...

The Location of this hotel is AMAZING, 2 mins from the beach, 2 mins from the Food Pantry (super market), and Thebus stops on both sides of the street right outside the Hotel, on this bus you can travel pretty much anywhere for $2. The sleeping arrangements were not very good, although the queen bed was very comfortable, when we booked, we did ask for 2 x single beds, (or just 2 beds would have done) the concierge ended up giving us an air mattress which was placed on the floor, and the first one went down during the night. They manager did change the air bed with no problems, but we did pay good money for 2 beds, so an air mattress on the floor wasn't exactly what we were expecting. I would have liked to see more information about the area in books or travel guide magazines on arrival, but 2 mins from Waikiki beach, information was not hard to find. Over all the stay at the Ebbtide was pleasant, but not worth the money which we spent for 1 week...

My Mom booked this through Expedia for our recent trip to Hawaii. She was trying to get close to our hotel because it was sold out.

This place looks NOTHING like the pictures on here or any other booking sites.

Mismatched furniture, linens, curtains, and decor. Kitchen cabinets and shower (NOT BATHROOM) were obviously redone......nothing else. Cords dangling from places, sockets that were either fried or not working. One of the windows was cracked so they decided to use blue painters tape to “seal” it. Beds weren’t put together. The front door had a small window next to it at some point....now just a piece of plywood.

In addition to all of that: their screening criteria isn’t appropriate. Men outside their rooms drinking, smoking, yelling at people walking by. Got a “hostel” / skid row vibe from the people I saw. The people in the office seemed nice but, they have to know this is...
