Honolulu hotels near Kapiolani Park

Pros: Location away from hustle/bustle of Waikiki, cleanliness and modern design of rooms, very comfortable bed, views of Diamondhead and partial view of ocean.

Cons: Ocean views are not truly full ocean views - partial only. The lone elevator was intermittently working during my stay, which makes things challenging staying on a high floor. Breakfast only had coffee/tea and pre-made items.

Pros: Gorgeous polished floors and a lovely sleek decor. Quiet, beautiful. Will return soon!

Pros: Location, staff and bicycles

Cons: Bed was a little old. Needs updating.

Pros: Terrific location, terrific service

Pros: Close to beach and multiple shops and dining.

Cons: Rooms could use microwave

Pros: Closeness to the beach

Cons: When we arrived to our room, the city view was a view of the parking garage, actual a parked car was about 3 feet from our window. It was NOT a city view which I booked. When we called the front desk, we were advised they were completely booked and had no rooms available elsewhere. (We looked online and it did indicate there were rooms available for the night in a better location.) We were told we would be upgraded to a partial ocean view, but not until the next night. Also, there is an additional $30 charge per night for staying at that location, we were not advised of that until we were checking in. We also had to pay an additional $47 per day for valet parking which we also were not advised of until we checked in. The rooms are run down and carpets are old. In the high traffic areas the carpet had creases in spots, enough to cause us to trip. We had a negative encounter with one of your valets, we lost the valet ticket that was on the key, when we returned, they made a big deal of it, told us that we should have kept it on the key ring. Not good customer service especially after charging $47 per day!!!. This is a Marriott Resort and we booked it because of the name and our expectations were not even remotely met... Marriott should evaluate this location, both the desperate need of renovation and some of the customer service. If it's not going to be renovated soon, then charging appropriate hotel/motel rates and advertise appropriately.

Pros: The location is acceptable and very close to the beach. Depending on where your room is located you might be impacted by the pool activity and noise.

Cons: I didn't like the fact that you get a room rate online, but when you arrive there are extra fees (Resort Fee $30.00 a day, and if you valet park a vehicle, it is $37.00 a day). The fees are not necessarily hidden, they are just not posted on the daily rate schedule. You find out when you are checking in. I have stayed in Honolulu many times and these fees are normal for most of the hotels. Hence, it would be better to show all of the rates and fees that are associated with your stay, so that you can make an intelligent choice in your selection of a hotel,

Pros: - proximity to beach - known hotel chain

Cons: - based on the positive reviews and high price, I thought this would be better; - first time to Honolulu - I thought the location would be better; - move on - there's lots of better choices

Cons: Room was very small.

Pros: Attractive, comfortable, close while not on the beach, well-designed and efficient, continental breakfast, friendly and knowledgeable staff, no unhappy surprises. Everything functioned well. Room was remarkably quiet. Safe box, tablet, and free beach accessories (towel, mat, umbrellas, etc) were nice touches.

Cons: Room initially appeared small and basic, but actually was well designed and comfortable. No bathroom fan, but passive ventilation worked just as well. A/C quiet, but not really large enough to cool the room much. Mini-fridge nice and did (barely) keep food cold despite warning inside about avoiding perishables! No protein at continental breakfast, just breads and fruits, but copious and delicious. (We stocked up at Food Pantry a couple blocks away.)

Pros: The rooms are quite small, but still comfortable. It has vallet-only parking at the premises. But the effort of the staff to please and serve is really what called our attention.

Cons: None

Pros: fantastic views! room service food was excellent and fast. friendly and helpful staff.

Cons: Rooms are tiny and slightly out of date.

Cons: No inroom tea

Pros: Location was perfect, felt like a place the locals go and was still close enough to the busy tourist areas, that you can walk.

I was upgrade to a room with a beautiful view free of charge. The room service is quick and food is delicious. I really enjoyed my time there :D

Cons: There was some construction going on during the day time. It was loud and caused dust inside the hotel.

Pros: best parts - location truly beachfront. staff, RON in particular. He went out of his way to give us a lift to relatives in Salt Lake. Thanks again Ron! Dinner was great (a little pricey, but what's not in Waikiki)... quick service from William- Thanks William.

Cons: Room was quite small, nice size bed, no room for side tables, just enough to squeeze out of bed and into the bathroom or out the room. TV and wifi quite bad! TV often freezes, lots of strong wifi addresses but cannot connect to them only the weak ones and then get disconnected every now and then.

Pros: The hotel is nice. Not much for restaurant/bar/pool but the complimentary breakfast was good and the location to the beach was good. I highly recommend using valet service...spend the $ and avoid the hassle of parking off-site.
