"This bland, 578-room high-rise 10 to 15 minutes from the main Waikiki action -- and, alas, its beach -- features strong service and two good restaurants." Full review

"Every room at this marinafront hotel overlooks the picturesque Ala Wai Yacht Harbor. There are two award-winning restaurants: Prince Court offers Hawai’i cuisine, Hakone traditional Japanese."
