    Excellent location, horrible parking. I took my 3 sons there 35 years ago& loved it! Remodeled, clean & the mattress was great. Nice to have a kitchenette for a weekend. Great staff will stay again

    Phones don't work. I tried calling both properties no answer. Phone in the room, busy, the whole time we were there. Outdoor shower didn't work. A few bit of homeless ppl. So if you're looking for just a bed to sleep on, this is your place. But down mind all the noise from surrounding visitors. Ppl upstairs sound like elephants. Also bring some sleep mask. Would I stay here again, probably not.

    1. Room had molded and smelled so bad we could not stay in it. Windows were screwed shut and inoperable so could not open to let fresh air in. 2. Not recently updated as described. 3. Free parking is actually not on site. 4. Room was never cleaned

    On the beach front great area

  • Engine customer Jun 2026

    Diamond Head Inn was a nice, clean place to stay. The parking is absolutley horrible. 5 parking spots for 21 rooms. The additional parking had signs posted not to park between the hours of 3am-6am Mon.Fri. Leaving no where to park. If you wanted ice you had to walk two blocks to a sister hotel to get... Its a nice place to stay for one to two nights but no more.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Read the check in instructions prior to arrival. Parking wasn’t bad but pay attention to the street signs if the parking lot is full. Very clean and comfortable.

    Vanessa at the front desk was great! Parking was adequate.Beach was directly opposite. Every thing was within walking distance.

  • Engine customer May 2026

    Big 1 bedrooms no view but you are right on the beach so location can’t be beat

  • Engine customer May 2026

    The location was just perfect. Enjoyed walking on the beach in the evening and during the day as well. Room was comfortable, clean. The small kitchenette/ dining area was not too well thought of. The microwave oven was broken and placed on the table where youre supposed to eat
