Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
"Hotel was nice but not special. The furniture was run down but there was a lot of space in the junior suite. Pool was ok but not great and no beach view. I also requested an ocean front and hot ocean view. Wouldn’t stay again despite location is right in the center."

Prince Waikiki
"Overall a nice experience but be careful of Oceanview and Oceanfront. Oceanview is the lower tier and will yield you a view of the back of the harbor (dirty) and parking lot. The ocean sits on the left but you have to be at the rightmost corner of your window."
