Wyndham Vacation Resorts Royal Garden at Waikiki

Liked it more than I thought I would

Prós: Liked the location, the staff, the room itself, the laundry, the media room and the zen garden. Everyone super nice and good humored. Security is good. Plus on the one day it rained hard, there were board and card games available at the desk. Wahoo! I'd definitely stay there again.

Contras: Elevators are torn up and the apartments next door run down so initial impression was concern that the room would be too but thankfully it wasn't. Concierge was nice but didn't read guest well or represent correctly what the gently insisted upon "update for owners" was - which was another timeshare presentation. Only truly negative feeling about the whole stay was feeling dogged by concierge desk about it. However, I went and it was fine.

Prós: The staff was exceptional. Good location, you can walk to anywhere. The resort even has a room that you can shower up at and supplied with shampoo etc.

Contras: The washer and dryers weren't always all working.
