Staylist AI overview · based on 8 public guest reviews

“Instagram Waikiki base, pet-warm”

The Surfjack is a less-hectic Honolulu home-away-from-home — an iconic photogenic pool by the lobby with evening guitar sessions and exercise events, clean decent-size rooms with comfortable beds, bus stops minutes away (airport bus too), walkable Waikiki shopping, water servers on the ground floor, free morning coffee and tea, fast-requested kettles and microwaves, and friendly accommodating staff; pets are welcome. Niggles: mesh balcony railings, lukewarm showers, no indoor chairs or toothbrushes, some dog smell, and narrow nearby parking.
