Welcome to The Laylow, Autograph Collection (Marriott) in Waikiki, Honolulu! I picked this hotel because it’s one of the more premium-feeling Marriott options in the city without being full-on luxury. Autograph Collection properties are unique by design, so I wanted to see if Laylow lives up to the hype. We’re in the Corner Suite (their best room): king bed plus twin daybed and queen daybed, two balconies with city and partial ocean views, and a tropical-modern vibe. The location is steps from International Market Place, central, walkable, and perfect for shopping, dining, and quick access to the beach.

💎 My Ratings:
Room: 4/5 (Corner Suite layout is family-friendly; carpets and closets show some wear)
Inspiration: 3.5/5 (fun mid-century/tropical touches, but not beachfront and some areas aging)
Service: 5/5 (friendly, proactive team; quick responses and easy upgrade when available)
Value: 3.5/5 (good for Marriott elites/points, but resort fee and valet add up)
Josh’s Score: 16/20 — Great

👍 Pros:
Central Waikīkī location; minutes to the beach and International Market Place
Corner Suite sleeps up to five with two balconies
Empty mini-fridge, water refill stations, robes provided
Hideout restaurant and coffee bar; elite breakfast vouchers available
Laid-back atmosphere with live music and fun extras (like shave ice nights)
Friendly staff who honored an upgrade request

👎 Cons:
Valet parking is $65/night (street parking is cheaper but a walk)
Resort fee around $41/night adds to cost
Pool is small and limited in seating
Fitness center feels older compared to newer Waikīkī hotels
Carpets and closets are dated; no slippers in-room

💰 Pricing & Points:
Cash Rate: Mid-range for Waikīkī, depends on season
Points: Redeemable with Marriott Bonvoy, often a good value compared to cash rates. I recommend using points at this property!
