Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
I usually don’t leave reviews, but this stay was disappointing enough that I feel I should. The property was not well maintained at all. The room was very dirty, with worn and stained cushions, and even the toilet seat was broken and dirty curtains. The pool area and restaurant were also not clean ...
