| What to expect: This budget hotel attracts couples, groups of friends, and business travelers looking to enjoy Waikiki's attractions for a bargain. Amenity highlights: Since all beaches in Hawaii are public, guests enjoy equal access to two beaches: Waikiki Beach lies two and a half blocks in one direction, and Ala Moana Beach Park lies two and a half blocks in the other direction. The center of Waikiki's world-class shopping is about a mile one way, and the enormous and popular Ala Moana Center (shopping and dining) is about a half-mile in the other direction. Insider tip: The open-air patio outside the lobby catches tradewinds, making it a great spot to sit under a thatched umbrella and cool off when Honolulu sizzles. |
