Very good

Check in was like a safety meeting, you had to wait until they showed up to check you in and give you a 45 minute talk about getting into your room. No amenities. Rude, didn’t communicate well. Did not enjoy our stay. Don’t waste your money.

Location was great, close to the beach and stores & food all within walking distances. Only problem i had was finding the place because it doesn't say sweetwater anywhere. I had to go into tower 1 to check in and sweetwater was in tower 2 . Kinda confusing at first but once we checked in everything was great .

The property is decent. it’s walking distance to Waikīkī beach and parking is free.
Sweetwater Waikiki is a good place to stay in Waikiki. I liked that they include a parking pass, otherwise it was $50 a day to park there. Amenities are pretty nonexistent- the property is undergoing renovations and will be for at least a year, so no pool or hot tub, but the parking pass made up for it. Be sure to bring your own travel toiletries because the ones they provide are not good- tiny bar soaps and tiny bottles of shampoo, no conditioner. One rather odd thing about the unit I stayed in was the floor was very slippery. There was a layer of floor cleaner residue all over the floor making walking in the unit difficult. Overall I would stay there again, it’s a great value for the location and I’m sure it will be even better when they complete renovations! Also their employee Rochelle is absolutely awesome!
Liked that it was easy to park our rental car. The room and surrounding area was quiet and clean. Had extras for the beach. Had kitchen ammenities. Enjoyed our stay.
I'm rating this property a 1 because upon arrival discovered that the pool & ALL amenities were closed and we were never told that ahead of time. We traveled from Alaska so a pool on our tropical vacation was a MUST, kind of the point and INCREDIBLY disappointing when we discovered we didn't have one of the only things we came for. Then, when we asked to be refunded so we could move, we were told to take it up with Expedia because that's who we booked thru (Any guesses on how well that went?). We weren't the only ones who didn't know either - the couple in front of us was equally as upset and the wife was visibly crying. Property itself was in good location just a couple blocks off of the main drag and all of the mayhem that is Waikiki. Unit in very large, very busy hotel - expect to wait in line for elevators. Unit itself was decent - spacious for 4 people (one king, one queen murphy bed). Very clean, but strong smell of Fabuloso cleaner and tile floors had an odd, slippery film on them. Pool closer was effective April 7 2025 until further notice so if you are planning to stay there anytime soon, you may want to call first (Also known as the Waikiki Banyan).
Very convenient location, walkable to the beach, shopping and restaurants. There were a few minor issues, but the managerment quickly that they took care of. Free parking is a plus. We would stay there again in the future if we had a chance.
The condo was very clean and tidy. We really appreciated the full kitchen and all the equipment - silverware, plates, pans, everything was available. The property was family friendly. Great location, walkable to most local places and the beach. A lovely place to rest.

Perfect Place for a Getaway with Littles
We’ve stayed at the property before but not with Sweetwater. It was a little difficult to find the “front desk” to check in (it’s an office on the 4th level not the hotel lobby). Once we found it, the ladies were so nice and even let us check in a couple of hours early since our room was ready so our toddler could nap!! Our room was in the level of the pool/hot tub and playground so we got to go right out of the lanai and walk over. It was the perfect place for us and our toddler!! We would stay again!
We liked the location, free parking included, the walls are soundproofed well (we were beside the elevator and wont hear anything, even next door noise wont be heard)
Overall Sweetwater Waikiki was not that great. The front desk was non cooperative with our requests (no blankets, towel rod was broken) and requested us to contact our hosts. The host of the hotel room was not reachable as Expedia did not provide their details. The room itself was dirty as it had roaches in the cabinets and fridge. On the plus side, the location of the hotel was ideal as it was close to the shops and nearby beach. The area was walkable and easily accessible to the mall and restaurants. We primarily went to the apartment to sleep and shower, so it was not much of a burden in the long run.
No one to checkin to the room, they left instructions in envelope. No one replies back to phone calls or emails for 2 days. Maintenance service took days. Parking was free but parking pass provided after two days (I had to pay $43 each day). No room cleaning or fresh towels for entire stay. Floor was sticky.
Overall bad experience
We were out almost everyday the whole day so we really just stayed here to sleep. We also cooked some food and they had complete set of cookware, plates, utensils, cups, everything. There’s even a microwave and coffee maker too. Some cabinets were broken but it didn’t affect us too much. There were plenty of towels to use for bathing and to bring to the beach but there weren’t a lot of soap and shampoo for the number of days that we stayed. Also, we waited for the elevator for 40mins because everyone is checking out same time as we were checking out, so check out early if you can
