Highgate Independent, Honolulu hotels

"Great service!"

"The only thing I didn’t really like was the lack of lounge area by the pools. There was not enough seating compared to the size of the pools. The rest of the property is beautiful. I am disappointed with the trend of the resort fees always added on. Just roll this into the nightly price of the room"

"The people are really friendly and go out of their way to make sure that you're comfortable. The luau was extremely pleasant to watch."

"The staff here is amazing! Made us feel very welcomed."

"Absolutely loved having a room with three double beds, even without a view! Lots of room for luggage, too. Local musicians every night made the trip memorable. The restaurant near the pool has lovely outdoor seating and good food and drinks. Breakfast at Monkeypod was delicious! Beach area was smaller than expected but we preferred beaches other than Waikiki anyway."

"i enjoyed how close the beach & shopping areas were to the hotel. This is my second time staying at this particular hotel because of the free breakfast included with your stay. Staff was very attentive & friendly to each guest staying at the property."

"The hotel had excellent service from check-in to checkout."

"We had a great stay. There was one check in clerk who was not very friendly, but my kids had a great check in person! Over all it was a GREAT stay! "

"I loved this place. My stay this time involved 2 hotels - this one and another nearby. Unfortunately I spent the majority of my time at the other one when I should have stayed here. I did get lucky to have a balcony on both stays, but there are not many in the building, so beware that you likely will not get one - in which case the room is still big enough, but I do love having a balcony when staying in Hawaii. The great thing is this place does not charge a resort fee - and it is definitely not a resort, but for the millions of times I've stayed in Hawaii, this place was great for the money. I normally stay on the east side of Waikiki - closer to the zoo/Diamond Head - and this was my first time staying this side. It is much quieter on this side. It's a plus/minus - it's wonderful to have it be so quiet and not hear all the garbage trucks in the morning like when you are in the middle/east of Waikiki. But it was also kind of sad to not see/hear/be in the middle of all the action. Both are good depending on the trip. I'd definitely stay here again. All the staff were super nice and welcoming."
