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.

Good value right off the beach

The rooms are a bit on the small side and fairly generic, but the small balcony was a bonus. Partial ocean view. Clean and up to date (including a decent sized flat screen). Located at the south end of the main drag, it is across the street from the beach, park areas, and zoo (the aquarium is also near by). The beaches include a fairly shallow, protected area for those with children, poor swimmers, or just don't want to deal with the waves. For the price I got more than I expected. It was also really nice having a great open air diner attached (Lu Lu's). The hotel staff was very freindly and accomodating. They let us check in before noon. There is also a tour desk in the lobby if you so desire, although I just used the internet. It's about a 15 minute walk to shopping areas. Many good food options closer. I would definately stay there again.

great value

Very kind staff and excellent service. Location cannot be any better – unobstructed view of Diamond Head and ocean. Room cleanliness and amenities about average. Open swimming pool on 3rd floor with great view on ocean. There is only about 50 yards from the hotel entrance to the beach, after crossing the Kalakaua street. The ABC shop with food, drinks, footwear, clothing and souvenirs accessible from within the hotel.

Perfect last minute reservation for two

Hotel staff was very friendly all the time, and at all hours of the night. We locked our key card in the room twice and they made us an extra one both times without making us feel stupid and even checked our ID before they issued it. A very safe place to stay. The restaurant attached to the hotel has the best breakfast on the strip...$12-$15 paid for a great breakfast and Kona coffee even on a surfers appetite. A surfboard lessons and rental company is also attached to the hotel with great quality boogie boards and surfboards.

The Westin Hotel "beach bar" under the banyan tree right on the beach has the best appetizers and beach drink had a very reasonable price. The main restaurant at the Waikiki beach Westin Hotel on the other hand is extremely expensive!
