Car rental - Like I've said above, looks like I'll be going with RelayRides.

For the hotel - Are there any hotels with some form of valet or free parking or all of them I have to pay for it? I heard The Modern is nice but I still have to take a good look at it. What would be a nice mid-range hotel to stay by the beach with a nice pool? Would staying in a resort be ok or it might be too much?

For things to do - I am looking to go to the Pearl Harbor Memorial, Snorkeling, ATV's, etc. Looks like I'll be snorkeling at the Hanauma Bay.
Waikiki area hotel/resorts with best pools, are imho:

Hilton Hawaiian Village (as mentioned above) (5 different pools on property)
Sheraton Waikiki (Infinity adult pool and larger pool with water slide)
Waikiki Beach Marriott (two pools on their deck area)

HHV and Sheraton Waikiki are beach front. Marriott is across the street from beach.
