So while I think we might like the location and facilities of HHV better for the last two nights of Oahu, I would also like to get around to other parts of the island, so I wonder if another move is worth the hassle.

I'm looking at the following three hotels, not much price difference.
VIVE hotel Junior Suite - Can't find much on it. View and lanai I can happily exchange for a bigger room.
Shoreline King City View
Aston Circle - because it's closest to the beach, I might consider the suitcase sized room.
Between the Shoreline and VIVE, which one has the shortest walk to the beach?
And of course any recommendations for other hotels would be great.

We will be bouncing around a lot as it is...three nights on Oahu, then two nights at Andaz Maui, then a night at Grand Wailea, then back to Andaz for two more nights (this time in a suite), followed by a credit card anniversary night at Hyatt Place Waikiki before the morning flight home.

So I'm looking at status match to HH Gold. If they do grant the status match, I see excellent rates for my dates at Grand Wailea and will end up doing a couple nights, all things remaining same.

Cheap near the beach
Might best be described as..sleeping on the beach(still legal, I think, likely safe).
In half a dozen HNL visits I rely on my SPG and HHnonors programs.
Use these if you have them. Consider the Hilton Waikiki where on my last stay I was delighted to have their "Journey Ambassador" find me in lobby or pool bar extending courtesies I was (almost)embarrassed to accept.
Further off the beach(about 3 blocks)Marriot...(not their flagship)offers less pricey nights. Best of luck.

I use www.tripadvisor.com for hotel recommendations. Put Honolulu Hotels in the search box, and you can get a list of all of the hotels. Then put in your check in and checkout dates and it will show the hotel pricing too. You can sort by price (unfortunately the cheapest is often the worst). Based on this, the "Waikiki Prince" may meet your needs for $101.43.

For me, it would depend on what I wanted to do and flight times... if I have a late arriving or early leaving flight, I would probably stay near the airport. Same thing if I wanted to do Pearl Harbor... prefer getting there early.
Take public transportation to enjoy the beaches if you won't have a car... not sure I would waste a lot of money on a hotel to just sleep for one night.

Does the dumpy Sheraton across the street allow one to go to the pool at the Sheraton Waikiki?
