Park Shore Waikiki an Aqua Hotel

Annoyance Rectified

Upon checking in, I had requested a king sized bed and was told there weren't any. When arriving at our room, the noise from the adjacent room was overwhelming, ie kids. I asked to be moved and was told that the only room available was a room with a king sized bed! Now why didn't they give me that larger room from the get go?

Best location, Great views!

Desk service was very friendly and helpful. There is a bit of street noise, but not much more than is expected in Waikiki. It was worth it for the view and location. We liked being so close to Diamond Head and the beaches at Kapiolani Park. Great zoo too! This will be our hotel choice for Waikiki from now on.

Great Value

Although the hotel is a little tattered in some places- it is clean and comfortable. The neighborhood is quieter than the middle areas of Waikiki beach and it is very accessible to dining and the beach. Overall it is a great value as most people don't spend all that much time in their room when they are in Hawaii!

needs improvement

the hotel has went down some from the last time i stay there

Quality Hotel

There is one thing I am not happy with; when I told the security guard that my next door made loud noise. He was kind of ignorant of what I was complaining about.

Would stay again!

Hotel is a little "tired", location and staff were great. Rooms were clean. Would stay here again.

Great location

Overall we had a good experience. Room was a bit small for a family but we just needed a place to sleep at night. Next time I would opt for a suite. Great location if you want to explore Waikiki and also close to public parking if you have visitors. Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful.

Great room for the money!

Do not expect this hotel to be like a 5 star hotel - it isn't but the price isn't either! We had a great room on the ninth floor. We got a free upgrade to an ocean front room, which had a fantastic view of the beach and the pier. The room was bigger than our friends room, which was also on the ninth floor but was an ocean view room. The employees were all nice and helpful. The bathroom was bright and clean, and although there wasn't an outlet in there, there was one right outside the bathroom in a vanity area with a big mirror, so I didn't have to worry about a steamed up mirror from the shower while I was blow-drying and putting on make-up. We also saved on the valet fee by parking for free on the road right in front of the zoo.(drive past the hotel towards the beach and make a left at the light and stay to the left) The hotel definitely could use all sorts of renovations, but then the price would reflect that! Ask for one of the more recently updated rooms on the 6th or 9th floor and you can't go wrong with this hotel!

Great room for money

Great location, decent hotel for price right on the corner of the main strip with decent parking across the street in the Zoo lot if you don't want to pay the $28 valet parking.

Great location for the money

I thought it was an awesome spot. Right between the beach and the zoo. The hotel room is clean and comfortable even if it is a little old. I just go there to sleep so it was perfectly fine for me. The Japanese restaurant on the first floor was spectacular. I ate there every day trying out different stuff and they usually give you a free appetizer. The only thing that I didn't like is that on weekends, the hotel next door plays very loud music at night. I can hear it loud and clear and I was on the 18th floor. Can't really go to sleep until after 12 am. overall, I am very satisfied.

Room was simple, but clean. Would have been uncomfortable with more than one person. Don't recommend using this hotel if you have a car. I was fortunate to use the parking lot across the street and saved the $20.00 a day parking. Also think charging a dollar a day for coffee is a little over the top since hotel amenities are non-existent. Would have been unhappy had I paid more per night than I did. Bed was comfortable. Hotel obviously is used hard and really needs an upgrade.

Great!

The location was perfect. The view was spectacular!! The bed was actually really comfortable. The staff was great for the most part. The biggest complaint we have was just that we didn't know about the mandatory valet parking, with the associated daily fee (it would have been nice to have planned for that). All in all, we loved it, and we would definitely stay there again. :)
