Honolulu Hotel Tips by SFHulaGIrl

Are you looking for dirt cheap accommodations right in Waikiki without the hostel environment? The Royal Grove Hotel should fit the bill perfectly. Average rates for a standard room with a private bathroom, air conditioning, a balcony, a kitchenette, and a color TV are $60/night, or $370/week.

Unique Qualities: This older pink hotel is a mere block from Kuhio Beach, even though there is a pool on the premises. The best part of the Royal Grove are the owners/managers, the Fongs; they will treat you like Family!!

I've stayed here twice, and find the accommodations fine. The location, though not right on the beach nor right in the middle of Waikiki, is a close 10 minute walk to the main part of Waikiki. The open lobby is nice, as it catches the trade winds, and has a soothing waterfall. Rooms have mini refrigerators, but do NOT have irons, ironing boards, or blow dryers -- these can be picked up on the 2nd floor (Housekeeping), however.

Unique Qualities: This hotel has a pool and a jacuzzi on the 5th floor. There is also a coin operated laundry for the use of guests. If you don't want to walk far for a meal, TGIF (Friday's) is right on site.
