Wakiki Gateway Hotel

Ryan and I are back and happy to be home. Reflecting back on our trip I decided that when we go back to Oahu that I want to stay in the same hotel. We ended up very pleased with the hotel that we decided to stay at in Oahu. We couldn’t afford anything fancy and since it was just a place for us to sleep we ended up concentrating on price rather than luxury. We chose a hotel called Waikiki Gateway Hotel and at $65.00/night we just couldn’t say no. We weren’t expecting much so when we walked into this posh modern hotel with beautiful materials we were quite taken aback. We also found out that we are literally 1 block away from the beach which made walking distance about 5 minutes to Waikiki Beach and one of the main shopping strips.

These are photos from the lobby area. I really love the dark flooring and interesting use of materials.

No ocean view but there wasn’t a hotel directly next to us either which was great! I actually liked checking out the city especially at night.

This was our Hotel room. Nothing fancy but still nice and very clean. I swear I wanted to start ripping photos out of magazines and start pinning them to this headboard. :)
