Star Service "Located in the heart of the mixed-use Beach Walk development, this all-suite operation is one of the cornerstones of Beachwalk Street's 21st-century renaissance." Full review
Gayot "In a town where hotel rooms rule and larger accommodations usually mean two rooms adjoining or adjacent, it is great to know that Embassy Suites has moved into the Waikiki Beach Walk area."
BlackBook "What a great addition to suite starved Waikiki. The modern and bright one and two bedroom suites provide ample room for those with Hawaii family vacations in mind."
Lonely Planet "Near the beach, restaurants and nightlife...beige and brown suites big enough for families or groups. Each suite comes with a microwave, mini-fridge, sofa bed, one or two bedrooms and balcony." Full review
