Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort & Spa
Busy part of Waikiki on the strip. Fairly old accommodations with a lumpy mattress. One small pool and hot tub area that was always crowded. Overpriced for what you’re getting.

La Quinta by Wyndham Remarkables Park Queenstown
Top notch, brand new hotel, right by the airport. My room included a basic kitchen and washer/dryer(!). Very impressed all around. Parking is limited/competitive so try to arrive earlier if you have to park a car.
