Shoreline Hotel Waikiki

Prós: I loved this hotel. It is very clean, very professional, they give a lot of attention to the small details. Housekeeping does an excellent job as well as the front desk people. I did not want it to leave. I will stay there in my future trips

Contras: Everything was perfect

Such a good deal I bought it twice

Prós: 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 Old, outdated, musty, mildewed...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.

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

Prós: Location & value.

Contras: Parking in Waikiki was expensive.
