AC Hotel by Marriott Honolulu - All-New Hotel

Easy walking distance to Chinatown, Iolani palace & art galleries.

This is a brand new (Open only 12 weeks on our arrival) small hotel, (112 rooms) in an excellent location for exploring downtown Honolulu. It is affiliated with the Marriott group. Remarkably there are a minimal number of competitors in the central area as most opt to billet further afield in the Waikiki area. The rooms are spartan think no closet, one chair, one hook to hang something on, a bed and a very minimalist bath with a small shower and toilet. Bed was king-sized and very comfortable, an excellent large screen television the only wall decoration to speak of. The venue is very clean, staff are extremely friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. This is not a place to stay however, if you a seeking a room “with a view”…but why would you need it when you are only blocks away from the water. Breakfast…is in the main floor restaurant consisting of a buffet and several made to order items (Avocado toast highly recommended). However, be prepared for “sticker shock”…$35/per person and parking is $55/day by valet service. This coupled with local tax can seriously increase the cost of your stay…but Hawaii being an island is expensive. The in-house bar is a big plus staffed by an excellent crew.

We did not use any of the facilities but the staff were superb!! They were attentive, helpful and what you would HOPE to experience at a Marriott in Hawai’i! The valets and front desk staff were the ones we had the most contact with but housekeeping were quite friendly as well.

Did not care for the breakfast, I think you need to add scrambled eggs, bacon and sausage, bagels maybe some hash browns

Staff was more than helpful with questions about the area Breakfast buffett was good.
