Top hotels in Chinatown
Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
Hotel was ok, wasn’t as clean as I thought. Dust everywhere in the room, carpet wasn’t even vacuumed the whole stay. Overall it was ok. Most likely won’t be staying here again

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
The pluses of this hotel are close to the beach and close to Walkable Waikiki shopping and restaurants. The pool is ok, it isn't heated so was a little cool. The rooms were just ok. Thin walls prevented sound from entering and hearing doors slam. Otherwise the rooms were average. Hotel was clean ...

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort
Beautiful, centrally located hotel. Very clean, quiet rooms, lovely pool area (minus the super loud construction, which won’t be there forever), access to small areas of private(ish) beach and friendly staff. The Edge Bar and Rumfire Restaurant basically have the same menu, but there is SO MUCH around ...
