"Beautifully renovated and maintained apartment for 2 with incredible Waikiki views and central location. The Murphy bed is so comfy. Excellent amenities and appliances. Just steps away from our favorite eatery, Paia Fish Market (skip the dinner lines and go for lunch)! Having a designated parking space is also a HUGE consideration for Waikiki. Loved the easy instructions and communication with host. Look forward to next visit!"

Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Waikiki Beach

Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Waikiki Beach

8/10 Good
"The staff at the check-in desk was great!! Housekeeping was great! My only problem was the parking. Of course, for hotel guests only, you are held captive if you have rented a car and need to park. This is to the tune of $55 PER DAY. Sorry,,,but I have always felt these higher end hotels could at least provide parking for their guests. This shouldn't have been, but was somewhat of a surprise to us. We probably could have ubered for less than that, no more than we drove around! Walls are THIN also!"
