"This is a well worn and definitely not a premium hotel. Usually, there is at least a coffee maker provided. Not at this hotel. Shampoo, conditioner and body wash were in the shower. No body lotion. Because of a live band in the dining area, it was rather loud in our room. In fact, we went to the hotel restaurant and could not conduct a conversation because of the noise level. We did not stay. We would not return."

"It was our second visit and second honeymoon at the Laylow and the entire experience (both times) has been exceptional. Sarah (server at the hideout) was so kind and warm. She went above and beyond to ensure we were taken care of. She understood our special requests and remembered our preferences from day to day. She gave us great advice and guidance for our time here and made us feel like we belong in hawaii and the laylow. Clarissa (coffee shop Barista) ... what would we do without you? We love our coffee, we need our coffee, and nothing compares to when it is made with love. Thank you for remembering us and knowing what we need. The laylow has a fun, exciting, relaxed, intimate vibe that feels like a home away from home. It doesn't matter who is working, the staff will do everything they can to help. The beds are so comfortable. The rooms are spacious, clean and comfortable. We love the laylow and hope to continue to visit for years to come."

"My wife and I had a glorious three-night stay at the Laylow Waikiki! We loved the hotel from the moment we arrived. It has a vibrant mid-century vibe, a stellar location, a friendly staff and a chic lobby with a coffee bar. We appreciated the welcome basket, which included a high-quality tote bag, water bottles, rubber duckie, postcards and flip-flops. We had a spacious corner room, which featured a dining area, sitting area and views of the city and mountains. Being in the room felt very relaxing. The only drawback was the small bathroom area that could use a remodeling. Overall, we loved staying at the Laylow Waikiki and can't wait to return!"

"The hotel is next to the International Market Place. The hotel is a few blocks from the beach. The hotel has an outside swimming pool on the second level. The hotel has a full service restaurant serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. The restaurant has live entertainment every night, There is a full service bar in the restaurant. The hotel elevator is key control, all the rooms have a safe. There is 24 hours security personnel on duty. The rooms have large television, shower, large dresser with large drawers, large hallway closet and shelf. The hotel is very clean and modern. The two elevator works very well and there is never await for an elevator. The front staff works very fast for check-in and check-out. There is no street parking near the hotel. The hotel offers paid valet parking"

"Nice hotel, I just wish we’d stayed on the beach. We love the Marriott’s Autograph brand and have stayed in their hotels in LA, NYC and Savannah. Can’t really fault this one in Waikiki. Staff were fabulous. We took two large suites - one for us and one for our teenagers. They loved the free shave ice by the pool (though a little cramped when busy) and the Hideout bar/cafe. We loved the views of the Royal Hawaiian from our balcony. But it’s noisy at night as it’s on a super busy street, above busy bars and restaurants, which is great for night life and dining options. We also asked to change rooms as noisy elevator echoed through our room like a shuddering train every few minutes. And yes, one side of the hotel balconies look into a neighbouring car park. Also, annoyed that after spending $3,500 for a few nights, they charged us for early check-in and late check-out. As Marriott Bonvoy members, think this should be a courtesy, if the room is available. All in all, a nice city option. I just wish we’d stayed on the beach. It was a little too ‘city’ for me. Let’s face it, Waikiki is all about the beach :)"
