Ramada Plaza by Wyndham Waikiki

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room"

Hilton Vacation Club The Modern Honolulu

"V"

Central YMCA Residences

10/10 Excellent

"The property is exactly what I was looking for. It is right next to Magic Island, easy walking distance to the beach. The staff and locals were very friendly. The food trucks immediately next door offer good food and reasonable, Island prices. Being located next to the Ala Moana Center means access to most all bus lines to go anywhere on the island. The weekly rates are the best in the area. The property is a little dated, but that's not an issue. You're in Hawaii to see Hawaii, not the inside of your hotel room, right?"
