OUTRIGGER Waikiki Paradise Hotel

10/10 Excellent
"Due to Tsunami warning I had to stay over in Hawaii three extra days. I was able to get into this hotel and the front desk people were amazing. I got an early check in, only a partial upgrade but the early check in made up for that. Room was facing towards the ocean but no view due to being too far away and many buildings blocking. Had a balcony but could not sit out on it, standing room only so that was a bit disappointing. Room was comfortable & clean. Microwave & fridge which was handy. Bathroom was small and no counter space. Was fine for one person but would be cramped for two. Location was good for walking to places to eat and shop, beach was a short walk. Did not have time to check the pool but there was one available. Overall the stay was positive and I would definitely consider staying there again. "
