Aqua Waikiki Pearl

Friend and I stayed overnight. Room had two dble. beds, small fridge and micro. Very roomy, same with bathroom. Also with balcony though faces apts across street. Convenient to main portion of Waikiki with starbucks around corner, number of bars and liquor/convenience store across hotel. We did not use prkg as friends drove us around but there is street prkg in front of hotel. Appears this was an apartment bldg. before a hotel. We were pleasantly surprised on the overall value of this hotel for staying in Waikiki.

I stayed here before they changed the name and then again just recently after its change to the Waikiki Pearl. It use to be the Honolulu Prince. The rooms have been nicely remodeled and improved. The one I was in had an LCD TV and nice decor. The bed however, was hard as a rock, and not much of a comfort to sleep on. Maybe the management will improve that as part of the renovation. The plus here is that the location is a short walk to the beach. The international market place is even closer. The cost was reasonable. The minus, besides the bed, there was no hospitality room for showering before leaving on late flight. No resturant on site nor pool or parking. Still if your looking for an inexpensive place and location to the beach is more important then frills then this place is great. You dont really need an on site resturant when there are so many places close by.
