"Absolutely awful! You can get a hotel for the same price or less on the beach. This place isn't anywhere close to the ocean. Not to mention the breakfast was awful, orange juice that tastes like water, generic, thin bacon! The temperature control in the rooms wasn't user friendly and froze when I slept. Dirty sheets. And even though it was far from the ocean, they still gouged you $40 a day for parking in a basic parking lot. If you're going to stay at a low quality place like this, you might as...

The Twin Fin Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"It’s a great spot, local walking distance to restaurants, stores, and beaches, convenient chair, umbrellas ect…. at no cost for beach time. There is also a car rental in hotel too. Great stay and location for"

Waikiki Resort Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Love the location, they have food restaurants walking distance, zoo is 5-19 minutes walking, 5 min to the beach, abc store a block away, food trucks all around and even has a rental car inside the resort and it has a free parking you get your car in the morning and at the end of the day they take it and park it for you so you don’t have to pay parking. Food was great staff super nice."

Holiday Inn Express Waikiki by IHG

4/10 Poor

"There is not hot tub; just COLD JACUZZI I was really disapointed this is my first time in Hawaii and their elevator was ALSO broken; we had to wait over 10 minutes to go up or down. The people giving information on the activities all give you different prices for the same activity; you need to make sure all prices are accurate. Some of the staff don't even answer a simple hi "aloha". They give you the same breakfast evey day no variety. It was boring."

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Loved everything about our stay. Only this we were disappointed in was the buffet breakfast, not having pancakes or waffles or French toast. Bread pudding was not great. Lots of bacon and sausage was the savior but paying around 100.00 for just bacon and fruit, was not worth the money"
