Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
Perfect place across the street from the beach with various restaurants and shops within walking distance. Love that you are able to get towels, chairs and toys for the beach that you have to return by the end of the day. Cleaning staff did a great job cleaning the room while we enjoyed the city ...

Prince Waikiki
Room view was amazing. Very clean and luxurious. Only reason i put one star less because there is no access to beach, its a 5-10min walk alongside harbour. Location of hotel is at the end of the strip which is a 20-25 min walk to center of strip.

Best Western The Plaza Hotel Honolulu Airport - Free Breakfast
This hotel has strong smell of urine, very dirty. The staff is extremely rude, they don’t allow me to ask questions about wifi and even requested me to love out immediately around 2am, they said if I am not happy then I can move our immediately. Unbelievable, don’t go this hotel, it’s a hell!
