Ohana Maile Sky Court
by davencel about Ohana Maile Sky Court
This is an affordable hotel that is close to everything, in contrast to what the book Oahu Revealed says. We made our reservation through hotels.com and they had a promotion of stay 4 nights and receive 5th night free. The room is clean and the staff is very helpful. There is also a refrigerator and a microwave inside the room. They have an in room safe for laptops or other valuables. There is a TGIF restaurant on the first floor. The bus stop that goes to Pearl Harbor and dollar rent a car are both across the street from the hotel.
Ohana Hotels & Resorts
by Phalaenopsis03 about Ohana Maile Sky Court
If you’re a budget conscious traveler like some of us are and wouldn't mind being amongst throngs of other tourists, then the Ohana Hotels and Resorts might just be for you. We stayed at the Ohana Maile Sky Court in Waikiki, which wasn't impressive at all, but P.G. and I were out all day, everyday, which made our sleeping room stay just ok. The room was small, the décor outdated, and there was a wet dog fur smell that emanated the room, but I suppose the view from our umpteenth floor kinda made up for it. However, I suspect that Ohana’s resort properties provide a higher level of satisfaction, without the canine aroma. Aaaah, the smell of wet dog fur.

Clean, cheap hotel
by dare2d4l about OHANA Maile Sky Court Hotel
I would recommend this hotel to someone who doesn't care that he/she lives across the Waikiki Beach (10 min walk to the beach anyways), who wants a clean and quiet room to sleep, so that he/she can have energy to jump off waterfalls in the morning. They have a small!!! pool on the third floor, but it has a nice deck overlooking Waikiki.
Ohana Maile Sky Court...

Ohana Maile Sky Court (formerly the Outrigger Maile Sky Court). This is a budget hotel that doesn't feel like a budget hotel. It is one of the taller hotels in Waikiki. It's location is convenient because it's right at the 'entry' to Waikiki, so you don't have to deal with a lot of the traffic. It's near the Ala Wai Blvd, so it's relatively easy to get out of Waikiki, too, when you want to travel. There's a large parking garage in the hotel, so you don't have to worry about parking (which is a big thing on the island). And if you want to spluge, they have some really nice one-bedroom and one-bedroom deluxe rooms that go for about the same price as single rooms in some of the other hotels. For the money, you get a lot of room to spread out in, a kitchen area to help keep the cost of meals down, and some privacy if you're traveling with kids. It isn't luxurious, but it's clean, well located, functional, and it has a lot of the amenities that you are looking for.....all at a price that's significantly less than many of the other hotels in the area.
As little as $75 per night for a single room, and $140 a night for a one-bedroom suite. The lobby is totally open to the street, and there is a sitting area next to an artifical pond that makes a great place to sit and plan out your day. It has all the amenities of the larger hotels, but the price is much better. Check out the prices for the suites; they're actually affordable if you want to splurge a little bit. This hotel offers lots of discounts (AAA, military, corporate, etc., so don't be afraid to ask; it makes the stay even LESS expensive!).
Formerly the Outrigger now Ohana Sky Court
by keida84 about Ohana Sky Court
On our 1 year wedding anniversary (in 1994), we got a deal through Delta airlines: Airfare, hotel and car for something like $230 pp/double occupancy. We jumped at the chance. Our hotel was known as the Outrigger Maile Sky Court. A skyscraper hotel and our room was up, up, somewhere around the 22 floor. Obviously there was no balcony and no fresh air!! Well, we went to the local store, bought a screwdriver and opened the window so we had fresh air. It was a funny sight to be down on Kuhio, look up and see one lone curtain flapping in the breeze. The facilities are the Sky Court were fine. This is a budget hotel and so there were not a lot of famcy things to go with it. The bed was comfortable, we had a small refrigerator and a coffee maker. The pool and whirlpool were located downstairs from us but it was not on the ground floor, the pool was frequently crowded with families traveling with their children.
The hotel is very close to the Ala Wai canal. We would watch the rowing teams practice early in the morning.
We were within walking distance of the beach, albeit a little bit of a hike! We were close to the shops, banks and restaturants as well.
The hotel underwent a transfer of new ownership since we stayed and from what I understand it is very nice.

We stayed at the Maile Sky Court a couple of years ago and the only problem we had with it as far as location is it's about four blocks from the beach. The Ambassador is right across the street from the Sky Court and they are toward the ewa or west end of Waikiki. If you want closer to the beach and should be in the same range there's the Royal Grove it's an older hotel on the Diamond Head end also there is the Queen Kapiolani, Ocean Resort and have seen good reviews for The Waikiki Prince.

Maile Sky Court was very clean and the price was right.
