Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu

We arrived before check in and staff was very accommodating to hold our luggage. Concierge was outstanding, answered questions, gave excellent suggestions and greeted us every day!! Because of them, we enjoyed Island Vintage shave ice - SO GOOD!! The rooms were nice, the beds lower to the floor than I'd like, guessing more Asian style? We had a partial ocean view overlooking both pools. Friday night we had a front row view of the Waikiki fireworks!! Pools were nice, always plenty of chairs chose from and the wings at the Grove Restaurant were delicious! On site paid parking was great and very easy to come and go. Housekeeping was so kind and even if they weren't cleaning your room, they asked if you needed anything or would bring you something right away. Location is great, ABC store very close and lots within walking distance. Highly recommend staying here. Thank you Hilton for an AMAZING stay!!

Our stay was overall very nice except for 2 issues... The staff was very friendly and accommodating. When we checked in we were given the room next to the elevator core which made so much noise! Never heard something like that before. It was driving us insane, so we asked to change rooms which the staff did very quickly. Even though they gave us the furthest room on the floor, we could still occasionally hear the elevators but it was so much better and didn’t bother us anymore. The room was nice and spacious but the mattress was not the most comfortable however we still were able to get a good night sleep.

I had a wonderful experience staying here for my first trip to Honolulu. I traveled solo and this was a great choice for a hotel. My hotel room was clean with a nice shower and city view with good amenities; I also appreciated the closet and shelving space as well as lounge couch and hook racks -- I was able to make this feel really at home for myself on a 6 night trip. The two things to note are the elevator sounds are quite apparent even when you are a few doors from the elevators. While I didn't mind, I can see this potentially being an issue for some people. The hotel also felt like a little bit further of a walk from the beach to have to go around the Hilton lagoon but it is also a more quiet secluded option for travelers. I enjoyed the pool and the happy hour at the barside and there is a decent quiet gym facility too though if you want to stay closer to the hotel. Pool was also decently warm! It is a little further from some of the central Waikiki malls like Royal Hawaiian but closer to Ala Moana than other hotels. I want to shoutout to John at the front desk as well for making me feel really welcome at reception!

Mini Honeymoon Stay at Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Overall Experience We had a really great experience staying here during our mini honeymoon. This was part of a timeshare vacation package we had purchased, and overall, it turned out to be a lovely stay. Service & Hospitality Since this was a timeshare stay, daily housekeeping wasn’t included, but the hotel staff were happy to provide fresh towels whenever we requested them. The staff and concierge team were also incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. We really appreciated the hospitality. Amenities We did not really use the fitness center but the pool was completely packed when we went and decided to walk to the beach instead. Overall, we had a wonderful stay and would definitely consider coming back.

The Modern Honolulu Hotel was in a great location and nice. The staff are friendly and helpful. They cleaned the room midway our 7 day stay. We had a room with a king bed and a balcony, with an angled ocean view and had plenty of room for two people. The outdoor pool is nice and the environment around it is always nice too. There is an adult only area on an upper level where you’re able to sun on lounge chairs with a very shallow dipping pool. The walk to the main strip is only about 10 minutes, Near the hotel are 3 ABC stores plus several food courts and restaurants. The ABC Market is the best place to go and the deli has many good choices. This is a convenient and nice hotel well located in the Waikiki area of Honolulu. The beach is about a five minute walk. One issue was the bathroom has ceiling to floor slats which means bathroom noises are an issue. The parking garage is very expensive so we used Uber and the city bus for transportation. The bus pass is a great deal.The food on site was expensive and less than adequate. We had a nice and relaxing stay.
