Waikiki Grand Hotel
Preliminary Information – Full Audit Pending
This buildings features were determined from publicly available data, including MLS listings. While we cross-referenced additional data sources, it still likely contains incomplete or inaccurate information, as it has not yet been personally verified.
Once a building has been fully audited, this page will be replaced with an in-depth analysis featuring verified details and photos of every key feature.
Until then, we provide a data‑driven overview that blends statistical analysis of the checkbox selections agents make in MLS with an AI‑powered read of their public remarks—yielding a clearer picture of the building than raw listings alone.
If this building is important to your search, you can help prioritize it for a full audit by requesting one below. To see what a complete report looks like, check out the example full report.

I searched for owner-occupancy references such as percentages, "owner occupied," or phrases like "majority owner occupied," but found nothing in the remarks. Per the rules, the current value of 7.00 is kept because there is no explicit contrary evidence.
I searched the public remarks for elevator counts and phrases like "elevators," "multiple elevators," and similar wording, but found nothing. Per the rules, the current value of 2 is retained because remarks are silent, even though a 10-story, 218-unit building could reasonably have more than one elevator.

15 of 20 current MLS listings include CABTV in association_fee_includes and multiple public remarks explicitly state the maintenance fee includes 'cable TV' or 'cable'. Remarks quote phrases like 'Monthly maintenance fee covers all utilities including cable and internet' and 'Maintenance fee includes electricity, cable TV, internet, water, and sewer.' Evidence is consistent across many listings and agents, indicating strong building-level coverage for cable.
16 of 20 current MLS listings include OTCOEX and public remarks repeatedly state maintenance/association fees include common area or common expenses (phrases like 'common area expenses' and 'other communal expenses' appear across multiple agent remarks). Evidence is consistent across many agent listings and reinforced by statements such as 'maintenance fee includes ... common area expenses' and 'monthly maintenance fee includes all utilities' that group common area costs with utilities.
No analysis available
Evidence is overwhelming that electricity is included in the maintenance fee. About 19 of 20 current MLS records list ELECTR, and several public remarks say 'includes electricity' or 'all utilities.' This looks consistent across multiple agents rather than a one-off copy/paste error.
No analysis available
Hot water appears to be included building-wide based on strong MLS support: 18 of 20 current listings mark HOTWAT, and remarks repeatedly reference maintenance fees covering utilities. There are no WTRHTR indicators in the current data, so there is no sign of a contrary correction.
Internet inclusion is strongly supported by both MLS data and remarks. Roughly 14 of 20 current listings include INTSER, and multiple descriptions say maintenance fees cover 'internet' or 'high-speed WiFi.' The repeated wording across listings suggests a building-level feature, not isolated copy-paste.
No analysis available
Sewer is very clearly included in the HOA/maintenance fees. Around 18 of 20 MLS records list SEWER, and remarks repeatedly say 'water/sewer' or 'sewer' is included. This is consistent across many listings and agents.
Water inclusion is strongly confirmed. About 19 of 20 current MLS listings show WATER, and public remarks repeatedly mention fees including 'water' or 'water/sewer.' The evidence is consistent and high confidence across the building.

Concierge service is strongly supported across the listing set. At least several remarks explicitly say "front desk concierge," "24-hour front desk staff," or similar phrasing, which indicates a staffed front desk/concierge rather than just security. The current MLS amenity checkbox also aligns with these repeated descriptions, so this does not appear to be a copy-paste error.

Strong, consistent evidence that the building offers a shared rooftop/patio deck: many current remarks across listings explicitly reference a "10th-floor sun deck" or "rooftop sundeck" and the MLS checkbox is set in most listings (17/20). Phrases quoted from listings include "10th-floor sundeck", "10th-floor Sundeck patio" and "10th-floor common area roof patio/deck", indicating a building-level shared outdoor deck amenity available to residents/guests.

Strong, repeated evidence across many listings supports an in-building restaurant amenity. At least a dozen remarks mention phrases like 'on-site restaurant,' 'two restaurants,' 'Teddy's Bigger Burgers restaurant,' and 'Hula’s Bar & Lei Stand,' suggesting this is a real shared feature and not just copy-paste checkbox data. Buyers looking for a building with dining options should include Waikiki Grand Hotel.

There are no explicit public remarks about a trash chute or garbage chute, but the building continues to be marked with TRACHU in 13 of 20 MLS listings. This looks like a recurring MLS amenity entry rather than a remark-based confirmation, so confidence is moderate rather than high. It remains reasonable to include for buyers searching for buildings with a trash chute system.

The pool feature is strongly confirmed. Across the current remarks, many listings explicitly mention a shared pool or swimming pool, including 'large pool,' 'swimming pool,' 'onsite pool,' and 'pool on-premise.' This is consistent across multiple agents and reads like reliable building-level amenity data, not a one-off copy-paste error.

Strong, repeated evidence across many listings confirms shared laundry for the building. Multiple remarks explicitly say 'community laundry,' 'laundry facilities,' or 'an on-site community laundry facility,' which aligns with the MLS history showing COMLAU on most listings. This appears to be a consistent building amenity rather than a one-off agent error.

Parking is supported by many listing remarks across the building, though not every unit includes it. At least a dozen remarks explicitly reference parking in some form, including 'on-site parking available at a nightly rate,' 'parking stalls on property for daily rental,' 'nearby parking,' and '1 deeded parking stall.' The mixed MLS checkbox data appears inconsistent/copy-pasted, but the remarks strongly confirm that the building offers parking.
No analysis available
No listing remarks describe covered parking, garages, or carports. Multiple listings (numerous ads across the building's listings) reference 'on-site parking stalls', 'daily/nightly parking rental', 'zoo parking', or 'nearby street parking', and one listing mentions '1 deeded parking stall', but there are zero explicit mentions of 'covered', 'garage', or 'carport'. Given the absence of any explicit covered-parking language across many agent remarks and suspicious MLS checkbox usage, we conclude covered parking is not present.
The public remarks clearly indicate deeded parking. One listing directly says the penthouse has "1 deeded parking stall," which is strong evidence that parking is owned with the unit.
No analysis available
I searched for a specific monthly parking charge or parking rental amount. The listings only describe parking as available for a fee or at nightly/daily rates, so there is not enough evidence to extract a monthly parking fee.
Remarks talk about guests using street or zoo parking—e.g., 'Parking options include zoo parking, or on-street parking for visiting guests'—but never mention 'guest parking' or visitor-designated stalls. With only a single MLS GUEST checkbox among 20 and no textual support, the building appears not to offer formal guest parking stalls as an amenity.
While many listings highlight building security (e.g., '24-hour front desk', 'security', 'front desk concierge'), none explicitly describe the parking as 'gated', 'secured', 'card access', or 'secure entry'. Several listings note on-site or daily/nightly parking availability, but there are zero explicit references to secured-entry parking across the public remarks, so the building's parking should not be marked as secured-entry.

I looked for parking waitlist, waiting list, or join-the-waitlist language, but found none. The remarks instead describe parking as available for a fee, subject to availability, or nearby, which does not establish a formal waitlist process.

Confidence 70%: One listing highlights "24-hour security," implying on-site security presence rather than just passive measures.

Evidence that some units have split/ductless A/C is present across multiple listings: at least four separate remark blocks explicitly note 'features split AC', 'comes fully furnished with split A/C', 'split A/C system', and one notes 'portable A/C'. This aligns with the MLS checkbox (3/20 listings include ACSPL). Multiple agents independently mention the feature, so the building should be listed as offering split AC for some units.
Evidence is strong that the building offers some form of unit-level air conditioning, with 14 of 20 recent MLS records checking ACWIUN. Public remarks repeatedly mention A/C in individual units, including "portable A/C for year-round comfort" and "split AC," suggesting this is a real building feature rather than a one-off agent error.
Strong building-level evidence supports concrete construction: 19 of 20 current MLS listings include "CONCRE" in construction_materials. The public remarks across many listings do not mention any alternative construction type or any recent change, so this appears to be consistent MLS data rather than a copied-in error.

Moderate evidence for 'above ground' construction: 8 of 20 current MLS listings include 'ABOGRO' in construction_materials. However, none of the public remarks explicitly mention 'above ground' or a recent change, and reporting appears inconsistent across agents, so inclusion is given with moderate confidence (implied rather than explicitly stated in remarks).

The remarks consistently confirm that short-term rentals are allowed. Multiple listings describe the building as a legal short-term/condotel property, with no special DPP registration required in some remarks.
The remarks show that the building participates in a hotel-style rental program or pool. Several listings directly mention the hotel rental pool or Castle Resorts/onsite management arrangement.
The hotel rental program is not mandatory. Multiple listings make clear that owners can self-manage, use the unit personally, or choose the hotel program, which means participation is optional rather than required.

I looked for phrases like lease expires 20xx, ground lease ends, renewed through, or leasehold expiring in a specific year. The listings identify the property as leasehold/fee available in some cases, but they do not provide a concrete expiration year.
I searched the remarks for explicit VA-related language such as VA approved, VA financing, and VA loans accepted, but found none. The listings discuss seller financing and creative financing options instead, which does not establish VA eligibility.
The remarks directly state "offers fire sprinklers, full insurance coverage," which is strong evidence of full building insurance / walls-in coverage. This is an explicit feature mention, so the value is set to true with high confidence.
Multiple MLS entries (15/20) mark fire sprinklers, and a recent front-side high-floor listing explicitly notes that the unit 'offers fire sprinklers.' This direct mention, combined with consistent MLS checkbox usage across many listings, strongly supports that the building has a fire sprinkler system. There is no conflicting evidence indicating any change or removal.
I searched the remarks for indicators such as "FLSE passed," "fire life safety," "fire safety certified," and "passed fire inspection," but found no explicit statements. With no current value provided and no remark evidence, this is treated as false with medium confidence.

Public remarks across the building repeatedly advertise ocean or Pacific Ocean views (explicit phrases include "ocean views", "Pacific Ocean", "partial ocean"). Although only 2/20 MLS view_descriptions currently list OCEAN, well over a dozen listing remarks reference ocean views (including rooftop/lanai and "peekaboo" ocean mentions), and the evidence is consistent across multiple agent remarks rather than a single copy/paste entry.
No analysis available
Diamond Head views are strongly confirmed across the building. Roughly 15+ of the provided remarks explicitly mention Diamond Head, often alongside rooftop or lanai views, which suggests this is not a copy-paste anomaly but a consistent building/unit feature. The evidence aligns with the prior high-confidence summary and current MLS view data.
City views are confirmed by explicit public remarks, though they appear in fewer listings than Diamond Head or ocean views. At least one listing directly states "the city" in the view description, and the overall MLS data shows CITY in many current listings, indicating the building offers city-view units. The evidence suggests this is a legitimate building-level view option, not just a one-off agent error.

Evidence supports an on-site resident manager for the Waikiki Grand Hotel. Historical MLS data was already high-confidence, and current remarks reinforce staffing with phrases like "resident manager," "front desk concierge," and "24-hour front desk staff" across multiple listings. The wording varies by agent, but the repeated staffed-front-desk descriptions are consistent with an on-site management presence.
