Check the rate first

Chase Travel often charges more than the hotel’s own site, so compare before you book. If you find it cheaper within 24 hours of booking, ask Chase for a price match: it has to beat their price by more than $5 a night, for the same room and refund terms.

Three nights covered by points and the credit, but a frustrating stay

u/anotherbibliovore on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026

  • Breakfast
  • No late checkout

Their take: Convenient and effectively free with points and the Edit credit, but a tired room, an unhelpful first night at the valet and a late checkout that was confirmed and then withdrawn mean they would not stay again.

Details
Paid
Points plus the Edit credit covered the whole stay
Breakfast
Included
Welcome
Perks included free entry to the Bishop Museum and free snacks
Room
Okay, but in an older renovated building with few outlets; a slow shower drain was never fixed
Parking
The valet was full when they arrived around 8:30pm; after a shrug, staff mentioned parking privileges at another hotel 4 blocks away
Late checkout
Confirmed for 4pm the afternoon before, but around 3pm the hotel called to say there was no late checkout on the booking, so they rushed back; a manager apologized

Convenient, but a so-so hotel

u/AxiomJT on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026

Their take: A summer stay that made good use of the card benefits in a convenient spot, but the hotel itself was mediocre and the valet a nuisance.

Details
Room
Hotel and room quality were middling
Parking
The valet was a hassle

2 nights at $200 a night, and not again

u/pomchisarenice on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026

  • Breakfast

Their take: A disappointing stay they would not repeat; even the included breakfast was bad enough that they gave it a miss on the second morning.

Details
Paid
$200 a night through The Edit after a price match
Breakfast
Included, but so poor they skipped it on the second day

Back-to-back bookings for a family of four

u/schix9 on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • Better floor or view
  • No early check-in
  • $250 credit posted

Their take: A decent hotel in a great spot that felt worth it thanks to the stacked credits, though the front desk was curt, the benefits had to be teased out and the room was tight for a family of four; they rated it 7/10.

Details
Booked
Two back-to-back Edit bookings, one in each partner's name, for 2/8-2/10/26 and 2/10-2/12/26; one was priced at $600 to also pick up a $100 Chase Travel offer, and the rest was mostly points.
Before arrival
Both Edit credits posted within 48hrs of booking.
Check-in
No early check-in, so they came back at 3pm; the benefits were barely explained, with a printed sheet the first time and nothing the second.
Welcome
Four welcome drinks, a snack pack and wine on the first booking; only two drinks and no amenity on the second.
Breakfast
Four breakfast coupons per booking for a limited voucher menu; the food was very good.
Upgrade
A higher room, on the 13th floor, with a balcony.
$100 credit
Honored on both bookings, $200 in total, and it covered their parking and other charges.
Late checkout
4 PM checkout was honored on the first booking, but a request on the second was turned down.
Parking
Valet at $49 a day; it can fill up, so get a ticket early.
Room
Clean and comfortable but small for four, with only two towels, a blow dryer that died, a safe and fridge, and microwaves for $10 a day.

Same dates, a similar verdict

u/Simple-LifeCC on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

Their take: Their verdict matched the original review: an acceptable stay with good Mai Tais and coffee, let down by inattentive breakfast service and weak welcome drinks.

Details
Check-in
They asked plenty of questions and stayed at the desk until they had answers about the benefits.
Welcome
Welcome drinks, which they found pretty bad.
Breakfast
Service was only decent one morning; otherwise they were mostly ignored and the food arrived cold.
$100 credit
Used on dinner the first night with no problems.

A boutique staycation for under $180 a night

u/stepjenks on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

Their take: A charming, recently renovated boutique hotel a couple of blocks from the beach, with a calm adult feel, a nice pool and gym, and free Bishop Museum passes; they rate it the best-value Edit hotel in Waikiki.

Details
Paid
Less than $180 a night after the Edit credit and a $100 Chase Travel promo
Upgrade
They say an upgrade to a corner room with a nice lanai should be possible
Breakfast
Free and great

Can be used at the hotel's poke restaurant
Welcome
2 free drinks at the pool bar

Good for drivers, with parking on the credit

u/ussrc on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit

Their take: A good base if you plan to drive around the island, with tasty breakfasts and a credit that could cover parking.

Details
Breakfast
Delicious food but a very small menu, served in a lobby-side restaurant
$100 credit
They were allowed to put it toward parking

Four nights on two Reserve cards, with free valet and breakfast

u/Immediate_Offer on r/ChaseSapphire, February 2026

  • Breakfast
  • $100 credit
  • No upgrade
  • No early check-in
  • Late checkout
  • $250 credit posted
  • Resort fee prepaid

Their take: They felt very well looked after, and the card perks made a good stay even better; the beach, shops and plenty of food are within walking distance, though there is no ocean view.

Details
Booked
4 nights as two 2-night Edit bookings, one on each partner's Reserve card; the hotel let them keep one room for the whole stay
Paid
Each booking was set to exactly $250 in cash with the rest in points, about 33K points each with Points Boost; both $250 Edit credits posted
$100 credit
Both credits went on valet parking at $49 a day, which made parking free; it also works at the coffee bar, Redfish restaurant, the bar and on merchandise
Breakfast
Breakfast for two at Redfish in the lobby, served 7am to 1PM, with vouchers for one entree and one drink each
Check-in
Arriving on a Thursday, they could not get into the room before 3PM
Late checkout
1PM on a Monday, after asking at the front desk
Upgrade
None; they had already booked a lanai room, the only type available, which looked over the canal
Welcome
2 drink tokens at check-in
Resort fee
No additional resort fee
Watch out
Switching bookings meant checking out and back in at the front desk around noon on the third day, which was seamless and did not require moving rooms

Booking tips from cardholders

  • Ahead of a stay a couple of weeks out, they asked Chase to price match the hotel's own website and were approved, saving 300 some dollars on the booking.

    u/black_magic123456789 on r/ChaseSapphire, August 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They had 8 nights booked for July in a Corner King Lanai and, once their card became eligible for price match, cancelled and rebooked to claim it. Chase listed $3,167 against $2243 on Expedia; they paid $1187 on the card plus 120k points, Chase refunded $778, and the $250 Edit credit moved over from the cancelled booking. The refund came in below the full gap between the two prices, which they could not explain.

    u/Upuser on r/ChaseSapphire, June 2026 · Read the thread ↗

  • They booked 4 nights through the Edit as two separate bookings, plus 2 nights through Amex, all in the same room type, and the statement credits had already posted. By email, the hotel told them it can't merge separate reservations into one check-in and check-out, even if guests stay in the same room.

  • They found this one at about $200 a night and used points so the cash portion came to $250 for the credit. When they later looked at changing dates, the hotel no longer appeared as an Edit property, although their existing confirmation still shows the Edit benefits.

Questions about Wayfinder Waikiki on The Edit

Is Wayfinder Waikiki part of The Edit by Chase?

Yes. Wayfinder Waikiki is on The Edit by Chase Travel list as of our November 13, 2026 check. A prepaid Chase Travel booking here gets the Edit benefits: daily breakfast for two, a $100 property credit, an upgrade when available, and early check-in and late checkout when available.

How much does Wayfinder Waikiki cost on Chase Travel?

Its typical nightly Chase Travel rate is $321, fees included: the median of the rates for two-night stays across the coming year. By month, the median runs from $248 in January to $381 in July. These are planning figures, not live quotes; check the rate on Chase Travel for your dates.

Does Wayfinder Waikiki qualify for the Chase double credit?

No. It is not in the 2026 select-hotel credit program, so a stay here can use the $250 Edit credit but not the second $250. The double credit hotels page lists the ones that are.

January has the lowest median Chase Travel rate here, $248 a night, followed by February and November. July is the priciest at $381. The single lowest nightly rate on our last check was $229, for a two-night stay from January 25, 2027.
