Camp H M Smith Holidays from £523

The staff members were really kind and helpful to us in all the little ways that make staying somewhere a good experience. They provided extras like beach gear, free laundry access and supplies, luggage storage for many hours before our flight after checkout. The cleaning crew offered extra cleanings after our mistake deposited sand all over the bathroom with a smile and a “please don’t worry about it” attitude. The location of the hotel cannot be beaten. It is just a block from the best part of the beach in Waikiki. It’s across from the Hyatt which is a meeting spot for many excursions. The best little restaurant and bar (Shore Frye) is a half block away. If you, like us, realize that your trip to Waikiki is heavily packed with excursions and you won’t be in the room except to sleep, this hotel is perfect. The beds are comfortable. It is an older hotel and it shows but the price is right and the staff makes the experience of staying there a good one.

There was a huge hidden fee that this hotel charged me for. I was charged $307 and they told me that was for the deposit so I was okay with it because I knew I would get it back after my stay. Until the next day I saw I was charged another $100 and I asked them about that and now they said that the $100 was for the deposit and that the $307 was a “resort fee”. Which they couldn’t even elaborate what the resort fee included. Very scammy of them. And the manager or the clerk area was not friendly at all. Also there was construction going at during my stay so it was insanely loud and kept me up. The walls at this hotel are also very thin and you can hear everything next door

Including parking was so helpful.

Excellent location. Rooms are small and a bit dated but compare the price to other hotels on the beach.

The pool is to die for, many hours were spent lounging poolside with drinks from lost and found. The poke bowls are next level and the coffee shop in the lobby is fabulous. 10/10 would recommend!
