Embassy Suites by Hilton Waikiki Beach Walk Staycation

Happy Mother's Day to me. 

For several years now, I have been planning an overnight staycation for Mother's Day for myself and my kids. My husband is not a real fan of staycations (I can't believe it either) so sometimes he joins us and sometimes he doesn't. This was our first time staying at the Embassy Suites in Waikiki and I loved many things about the hotel. First off, many of the Hawaii hotels I have stayed in before will have 2 full sized beds. Our one bedroom suite had two queens and a sofa pull out so we each had our own bed. I LOVE this.  Most standard hotel rooms don't have a kitchenette, but ours at the Embassy Suites had a sink, mini fridge, hot water kettle, and a microwave which was really convenient even just for one night.  I also really appreciated the dining table. Moms that have had to makeshift a table for your kids to eat on by pulling in lanai furniture; I know you feel me.

Two Queen beds with separate access to Lanai. Both rooms have mounted televisions.

Separate living area with dining table and pull out sofa bed.

When you check in, they will give each registered adult guest 2 complimentary drink tickets that can be redeemed at the pool on the 4th floor from 1pm to 7pm. There is also an evening reception at the pool deck where they offer guests soft drinks and prepackaged snacks.  Currently, there is no food service at the pool, but you can get Yard House delivered to you at the pool or the room. We were totally going to take advantage of this, but unfortunately the day we were at the pool, it was really crowded.

Location is another great attribute of the hotel. The lobby is right next to the Yard House side of the Beach Walk shops and restaurants and also across the street from an ABC store where you can pick up all kinds of essentials and souvenirs. You are also in walking distance of the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center.

Another great amenity of the Embassy Suites is the complimentary hot breakfast every morning from 6:30 am to 9am on the 4th floor. The offerings include granola bars, yogurt, rice, bacon, scrambled eggs, toast and a made to order omelet station. Just be prepared to spend a good amount of time in line as the hotel staff are serving food and drinks. Overall, it was an enjoyable stay and we would definitely stay again.
