We've enjoyed the heck out of our stays on the East side of the B.I.!
P.S. There are
lots of hotels on Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki for < $100 per night. I'd say about 1/3 are to be avoided at all costs. If you're not intent on staying on Kalakaua, Waikiki hotels are actually price-warring for your business! The Ocean Resort Hotel Waikiki and the Maile Sky Court offer 'Business" rates to tourists for less than $100 per; we've stayed at, and survived, both, and would do so again, if price was the motivating factor. The Ambassador on Kuhio is known as a decent "value priced" hotel, though we have not stayed there.
FYI these hotels that offer "business" rates give them to whoever asks, no proof required; unlike kamaaina rates, where ya gotta show a HI drivers license.
