104 rooms, restaurant, Nintendo. This is one of the smaller near-beachside resorts in Waikiki and is right across the street from Waikiki Beach Center. This 14-floor tower was built back in 1962 in the shape of a Chinese lantern. Most Waikiki resorts don't have a 13th floor because it's considered bad luck in western culture. The Asian owners here embrace the 13th floor and use feng shui to make many of their decorating and designing decisions. Even the outside wall on the Diamond Head side--slated to be removed--was spared because their feng shui master said that it was necessary to hold in the good luck. Most of the staff has been here a long time, and repeat guests will often be remembered. The pie-shaped rooms are very small and feel even smaller than their stated square footages. But their space is used pretty efficiently, and the decor is all fish, all the time. All rooms have two double beds. No coffee makers in rooms but free coffee daily in lobby. If you want to minimize walking, this is the resort for you. It's a quick walk from the parking lot ($10) to the rooms--no vast corridors. And it's a quick walk to the beach. Located in the center of Waikiki, so restaurants are close by. Rooms (245 sq. ft.) are $190-$220.
