This hotel is in a very convenient location, near the Ala Moana shopping center, Convention center & at the entrance to Waikiki. The hotel provides a FREE shuttle into Waikiki from 12:30 pm to 10:00 pm, making three stops in the heart of Waikiki. The bell desk and valet staff were very friendly and helpful, yet professional. The rooms are nicely decorated and clean, but are showing signs of wear & tear.
Like any hotel in Waikiki, nightly parking is quite expensive. For valet parking, we paid $21 a night, ouch! Check In at the front desk was a little slow on Monday July 9th, but other than that, service staff was first rate all the way.
Restaurants in the hotel are limted to the Prince Court Restaurant (Pacific Rim) and Hakone Restaurant (Japanese). However, around the corner, there is a Chart House Steak & Seafood restaurant, overlooking the Yacht Harbor. A Outback Steakhouse and Red Lobster Restaurant, fronting Ala Moana Blvd. At the nearby Ala Moana Shopping Center, there's a Morton's Steakhouse, Longhi's (Seafood/Italian), Assagio's (Italian), Bubba Gump's, CPK, Pineapple Room (Macy's), Mariposa (Neiman Marcus), Island's, Romano Macaronni Grill and tons of fast casual eateries in the food court.
