Good value in a convenient location, at the gateway to Waikiki, makes the Holiday Inn a good choice for families, those visiting paradise on a budget, and business travelers on limited expense accounts. From the hotel, you can walk to beaches, Ala Moana Shopping Center, the convention center, and other entertainment venues, such as restaurants on Waikiki’s west side. The rooms in the 17-story property are what you’d expect from this chain—not fancy, but clean and comfortable, with features such as coffeemakers, telephones with dataports and voice mail, in-room safes, and complimentary newspapers on weekdays. Lounge by the pool, work out in the fitness center, or dine on affordable Asian dishes at China Buffet, the hotel’s restaurant.
