Ford Island, Honolulu hotel rooms at the Independent

"The infinity pool was amazing "

"Nice layout and clean. "

"We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. I’ll admit, I was a bit unsure given some of the mixed reviews, but our experience was largely excellent. The property is beautiful, the staff were friendly and attentive, and our room was clean and comfortable — everything you’d hope for in a relaxing getaway. One word of caution for future guests: avoid using the concierge desk to book excursions. The concierge we dealt with was not transparent about the additional service fees being charged. After comparing prices, we realized we were being upcharged almost 40% compared to booking directly with the tour operator. Upon recognizing this, we immediately asked for a refund. While she was initially hesitant to process it, we did ultimately receive a full refund and booked the same activity ourselves directly through the provider’s website. Overall, we truly enjoyed our time here and would still recommend the hotel itself — just be sure to double-check excursion pricing before booking through the concierge."

"As an Expedia gold reward member, I got free upgrade to oceanview room which is awesome but that is not the reason why I gave the hotel a good review. The check-in process was a breeze, less than 10 minutes. I was aware I got charged the destination fee of like $43/night, however, I was not told I am being charged $50/ night for deposit until I check my credit cards summary on the app. I called the front desk and the lady said it will be refunded after check out. The room is clean, the property is clean, and breakfast is good. Each day is a different selection of bacon, sausage, sandwich, pancake, waffle and all the other typical breakfast items are the same —cereal, yogurt, fruit, milk, juice & coffee. I especially enjoyed the Hawaiian coffee served there. There are water fountains throughout the property to refill your water bottle which is nice as you will do lots of walking so staying hydrated is important. Checking out process was also a breeze, so quick. The hotel also offer a discounted flat rate for ride to the airport. Although not directly on the beach, it’s just 5 min walk to the beach. Close proximity to many good restaurants and convenient stores. I enjoyed my stay with Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach. "

"My family and I love staying here whenever we are in Oahu. "
