No designated parking available
The parking situation at the Diamond Head Inn has been a common cause for complaint. While the hotel does not provide designated parking, a limited amount of public spaces are available next to the building. Yet former visitors have claimed that acquiring a spot outside the hotel is unlikely, and alternative parking will generally be necessary.

No air conditioning
The oversight of air conditioning in the suites has displeased a number of past guests. With that said, the hotel does provide fans in an effort to counteract this negative to an extent.
negative:
Outdated and worn down suites
The suites at the Diamond Head Inn, while reportedly clean and spacious, have been criticized by a variety of previous visitors for supposedly being worn down and dated. The furnishings and decor have been the general focus of this negative in the past.
