Million-dollar views for middle-class budgets
Bordered by the Honolulu Zoo, the beachfront and the district's most coveted shopping and dining strip, the Park Shore enjoys one of the most exciting locations in Waikiki. The hotel is decorated in contemporary Island style with clean, bright and unfussy rooms, offering affordability without sacrificing comfort. Book a high south- or east-facing room for views that fulfill your Hawaii fantasy. No wonder it's a secret favorite of visitors and locals both.
Highlights
  • Relax on your private balcony for spectacular views of Diamond Head and the ocean from south and east rooms
  • Settle in with a 42-inch flat-screen TV, available in every oceanfront room
  • Reach a diversity of Waikiki destinations easily from the hotel's convenient location
Location

The best of Honolulu's most exciting district crossroads at the Park Shore Waikiki. The hotel is framed on three sides by wide-open beachfront, the Honolulu Zoo and Kalakaua Ave., Honolulu's premier shopping and dining strip. Just beyond the zoo is the 200-acre Kapiolani Park,  which overflows with weekend festivals, art shows, concerts and sporting events. At the east end of the park, the landmark Diamond Head frames the edge of Waikiki.

Rooms

Cozy, simple and bright, each room features a private lanai or ornamental balcony and tasteful Island décor. Some rooms have been recently refreshed. Choose a high floor facing south or east for spectacular views. Wi-Fi is available in-room (fees apply).

Dining

Visit the onsite Lulu's Waikiki for live entertainment, onscreen sports coverage and ocean views, plus food and beverage service from morning until well past midnight.

Great location, friendly staff

Shuttle from airport to the Hotel took 2 hours (recommend taxi-ing it for a few more $'s unless you are up to a Hotel scenic tour after a long flight). Hotel in a great location. Lanai Rooms are small but adequate for a short stay (1-4 days). Pool is a nice size, plenty of room and chairs available - lacks atmosphere tho, but then the beach is only across the road. Nice views from the pool and from the room of the mountains and the ocean. Overall, The Park Hotel was clean, friendly, excellent location and we will stay there again on our next wander of the Islands.

Lulu's next door makes the best breakfasts. Wonderful sunsets. Excellent Gold and Jewellery store 2 blocks from Hotel on main road. Zoo across the road is worth visiting. Take a leisurely morning walk to the left and go along the boardwalk and back thru the park. Beach across the road excellent for all ages.

WORK BUSINESS TRIP more fun than it should have been

The room was just what you need to be RIGHT at the beach in Oahu. Overlooking Diamond Head with the morning sunrise, and a great view of the Crystal blue ocean from your balcony/Lanai. Small in size, but who stays in their room on vacation. Coffee for breakfast, or you can visit Starbucks next to the hotel if you need more than Hawaiian flavored coffee. Cable TV, Great central air - not that you need it coz most rooms have a great cross breeze and face the park and diamond head. Ocean view rooms have the direct sun in the afternoon so the Air works great in those rooms. High floors are best - above - 10 as the LuLu's restaurant/nightclub gets loud over the weekends, but you can't hear much when you on a higher floor. Close to all restaurants/clubs/bars/hot spots, and THE BUS stops right in front of the hotel. Cheaper and better than a rental car-Parking $20 - but in & out privilages. Have fun ALOHA

Great View

The Park Shore was very comfortable, the view of Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head was fantastic. We only stayed overnight, but were pleased with the accomodations and friendly staff. The lady that checked us in even remembered me from a conversation I had upgrading the room three weeks prior to our arrival. The rooms show a little wear and tear, but I'd be happy to stay there again.

Waikiki beach was just across the street, with a park and the Honolulu Zoo just a few blocks away. Beach volleyball courts were just across the street as well.

Location

We loved the hotel. The room could have been larger, the AC could have been quieter but for the money and the tremendous location I would not have chosen any other hotel on the beach.

Great Value for the Money in Waikiki

The Hotel room was clean, hotel staff helpful,there was a nice view of the beach from the pool. Valet parking was nice to have but would like to have had regular free parking available. For the cost it was a great value and we could easily walk to the beach, the Zoo is across the street as is nice park and boardwalk. Trolley's and buses can get you around so easily tht you hardly need a car at all. Room had a microwave, frig, coffee maker. They are remodeling and getting WeFi over the next year throughout the hotel, At present it is only on the first 3 floors. There is a travel agent in the lobby that was very helpful and you can walk through the lobby to a convenience store without going outside.

Very receptive to requests

The Park Shore was a greater experience than we had expected for our money. From the first night we arrived, all the staff was very helpful and willing to work with us. There was on particular staff member that did seem to want to help but we reported her separately and did not have any further dealings with her. The room was a little small, but adequate. We liked the idea of having a small frig in the room to store our goodies.Additional towels were provided on request and beach towels were also available to check out. The staff was very cordial when we requested our car and were very prompt in bringing it to us. The hotel location is perfect and the restaurant was just a beautiful setting. We will definately stay at the Park Shore again on our next Hawaii visit.

I have stayed in Hawaii many times and my first stay at Park Shore Waikiki was more than good. I was visiting on business and will book it again. Beach access for down time, Lulu's restaurant bar, hotel staff - all good.
