Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach Resort
The resort itself is very beautiful, but the elevator on the rainbow tower was a nightmare. Overlying crowded, there was time we had to wait for 2 to 3 elevator to fit in.

Waikiki Beach Marriott Resort & Spa
Room was clean and spacious. There is a lot of construction happening at the hotel currently. The pool is pretty small but wasn’t super busy which is nice. We had a great view from our room but couldn’t use the balcony due to construction. Once the construction is over, I would stay here again.
