Hotels in Honolulu nahe Waikiki Beach

Even though it was only 1 night. It was amazing! I've stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki before and each time it just keeps getting better and better.

View, location, pools, spa options

A great week in Waikiki and the Holiday Inn was an ideal, convenient and central location. Not right on the beach, but the beach was within sight and just a tiny, tiny walk away -- just as good really. All the service we needed was top-notch, too.

Convenient to Waikiki. Close to the beach without 'on the beach' proces. Good restaurant and close to many others. Only drawback for me was the price to park. They went up $10 a night two years ago and nothing about the parking changed. No better or worse than before the change. Even though it is Waikiki, costs probably don't justify that increased fee.

I enjoyed 2 nights here and then looked for a bit more savings. I actually went to 3 other hotels in the 100-150 range and looked at their rooms. Nasty. Old, outdated, musty, mildewed... the Shoreline Waikiki is not fancy, but it sure is clean and smart. So I went back and rented another room for 3 more nights. Rooms are small. Rooms were clean! First room, on 6th floor, was a tad shinier and newer than second room I rented on 5th floor. I suppose it had seen less traffic. Hotel staff was friendly, there's coffee and iced tea downstairs, there's a simple but clean and effective pool on the roof. All the design/remodel choices are one smart notch above budget. Hotel is a few feet off of Kuhio, in the midst of the Waikiki tourist district. Beach is a 5 minute walk. No complaints at all. Heartily recommended.

Hotel taxes in Waikiki are high, so a $119 room bills out at just under $135.

Location & value.

Parking in Waikiki was expensive.

Décor of main hotel was impressive however the waterfront tower that we stayed in was less than impressive. Without the oceanview it would rank average to poor.

Pool attendant was rather rude.

Excellent location for beach access, shopping and dining.

Location was good.

The A/C and fridge did not work.

After I paid the price showed on priceline for two nights, they let me know there is a cleaning fee almost equal to the price of one night. The funny part is that we had to clean the room ourselves so they don't charge us even more. I think it is deceiving and unethical. Normally hotels charge a small amount of fee compared to room price. this one was comparable to price of the room. on top of that A/C and fridge didn't work. condition of the room was average. Next time I will avoid places like this and stay at regular hotel.

Proximity to beach

Lanai overlooked hotels air con unit, & public parking lot.

Nice room, nice hotel. Cocktails in lobby in the late afternoon.

We were told at reception that they had stopped including free parking, even though our reservation paper said our price included free parking. It was resolved in our favor then and there.

Did not know that rooms are not cleaned til after you leave. At your request it can be but that you would be charged per cleaning.

Pool

Room was just like a motel. We were on the third floor and could hear every conversation the people at the sidewalk were having, with the balcony door closed! So you can imagine how loud it was given that the room was overlooking a busy tour bus stop. Single pane balcony doors that wouldnt close fully. The hotel (err motel) handyman came and jerry rigged something, but the door will slide open slowly from vibration making it noisier. Staff said they can't give us any other room for the rate we paid, which was $200+ per night excluding taxes. I think I should expect a little better from a name like Marriott. They should offer us a credit for the lousy experience we had. We moved to an apartment for a lower price and had a much better experience.

Location

Rooms were musty smelling not clean very outdated carpet was disgusts didn't even want to walk on them without shoes on
