Best Western The Plaza Hotel Honolulu Airport - Free Breakfast
The breakfast leaves a lot to be desired-no bagels, English muffins-just bread-the eggs were watery-the sausage was cold-not much variety at all. The shuttle feature was nice, but the property needs to be “freshened up”.

Pacific Marina Inn Airport Hotel
The staff were all so sweet and so helpful. The room was great. Parking gets tight but still overall great.

Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
The Hilton Hawaiian village is like your own island. Has everything. Less congested than the other end of Waikiki beach. With all the amenities and Aloha Friday fireworks show! I heard one guest say I feel like I live at a mall. Has its own lagoon. It’s great.

Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
Perfect location for visiting Waikiki Beach. Everything you could ask for (beaches, shops, restaurants, etc.) Were all less than a 5 minute walk. Hotel staff was very professional and very nice. Great view of the beach from our room with a balcony.
