Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

6/10 Okay
"Like: Room size was good. Dislike: bathroom had only 1 towel hook. Closet space cramped. Hotel needs a service elevator. With 1 under repair for rooms above 26th floor, took too long to get one and easily crowded since the elevators were also used for staff and their trays/carts. Bathroom sliding door was hard to slide open and close."
