Top Hotels Near Makiki Forest Recreation Area in Honolulu from NZ$238

"We were disappointed in our room - the ocean view was only if you were on the balcony, otherwise it was a city view. The room itself had seen better days. We were in the alohilani tower - tried to go to the pool on 5 but access was closed and we were directed to the swell tower for access. Too much trouble for us. There was no lobby bar - maybe because Morimoto was closed for repairs, and the Momosan restaurant was outside. The drive up appeal was lovely. The pool was busy - the music was pumping. Not our jam but seemed popular. We did enjoy the complimentary beach gear provided by Beach Candy a couple blocks away and the beach itself was good. I guess $500 a night doesn’t buy what we were expecting. Kudos to the young employee who encountered us getting off the elevator and showed us our room and explained the amenities - he was the best part of our stay!"

"By Hawaii standards, this is a budget friendly room, privately owned and within the Ala Moana Hotel, a landmark built in 1970, conveniently located adjacent to the Ala Moana Mall. The room is basic, older, and with a small balcony. HVAC puts out no heat, only AC, apparently the norm in this temperate climate. Be prepared to pay an additional 200 beyond your vrbo fee for use of the hotel check-in service and amenities. Parking costs 41 per day."
