"My recent stay at the Waikiki Resort Hotel was a mixed bag. On the one hand, the location is truly unbeatable. Being just a block from the beach means you can be on the sand in a matter of minutes, and it's surrounded by countless shops and restaurants. The staff was also friendly and helpful throughout our stay, and the daily housekeeping kept our room clean and tidy. The hotel itself is well-maintained and provides a comfortable base for exploring the area.
However, a major point of frustration was the parking situation. While the hotel does offer on-site self-parking, it comes with a hefty price tag of around $47 per day, which is a significant extra cost on top of the room rate. What's worse is that the parking is described as "limited" and is offered on a first-come, first-served basis. This creates a stressful situation, especially when you've rented a car to explore the island and rely on having a secure spot to park it at the end of the day.
For a hotel in a major tourist hub, the lack of guaranteed parking for guests is a serious issue. If you're planning on using a rental car for your stay, be prepared for the possibility of having to find alternative (and potentially even more expensive) parking options off-site, or simply choose to rely on rideshares and public transportation to avoid the headache altogether."
