I'd see what is available online in terms of upgrades. You'll want to check as most hotels did not fully reopen - as in, many still have closed off floors, sections, or towers. Occupancy peaked about 30% for the parts that are open in Waikiki - but tourism is taking another hit again with the requirement to have the negative test in hand before departure to Hawaii - expect occupancy to potentially drop to 20% or less.
Building on your other post - most attractions are open. Most tours are did not restart. Bars are not allowed to operate. Most restaurants have a last seating around 9pm as they can't serve alcohol past 10pm. A lot of restaurants are closed/out of business - but still plenty of options.
If you are looking for the uncrowded Hawaii experience, now is the time to go. It can be a bit bleak at times with the boarded up businesses, not super festive at the moment and not a lot of energy - if it makes you feel any better, it'll be mid-80's and sunny today, like it is almost every single day.
