| Park Shore Waikiki is located across the street from a nice beach and next to the Honolulu Zoo and Aquarium. The oceanview rooms have a great view of Diamond Head and the ocean. Ask for the highest floor available. The rooms are small but large enough for two people, though only one person can be in the bathroom at a time. The carpeting is worn and stained, and the air-conditioning is acceptable but not ice-cold. The bus stops right outside and you can easily walk to many restaurants and stores. Noise was barely a problem, and only on weekend nights. The hotel is located at the end of the busiest Waikiki street and there are no other hotels on one side. I recommend the Park Shore and I would stay there again. |

| This hotel was great! We had wonderful service from day one! The room was ont he smaller side, however being right on the shores of Waikiki, we spent more time enjoying our ocean view room that also overlooked Diamondhead, at the pool and on the beach. The comfort more than made up for the size and we are looking forward to visiting there again soon! |

| Great price and great location...the rooms are small, as most in the area tend to be. The bed is really the only thing...could have been more comfortable and items in the room could be updated...but honestly, for the price...cannot beat it! I also had a GREAT massage at a sister hotel (Bamboo)...all in all for the price - good stuff - I would go back! |

| We picked this hotel with a bit of hesitation due to some negative reviews we read. We were pleasantly surprised by how our overall stay turned out. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The location was great!!! The bus stop and beach are litteraly a few steps away from the lobby. Yes, the room is small but it has adequate room for storage and good air conditioning. The bathroom is in good condition considering the age of the building. I would like to congratulate the housekeeping staff for a VERY GOOD job of room upkeep. This was our fourth Waikiki vacation and I only wish that I discovered this hotel from the start. |

| Park Shore Waikiki is an older hotel at the most northern end of Waikiki Beach. I thought the room was very rundown--it needs paint and new furnishings couldn't hurt. The bathtub stopper was not attached (so that when I pulled it up it came flying out with hair attached, landing on the floor behind the toilet). We left it there and used a hand towel to keep water in the tub. The room was adequate in size and a microwave would be nice. Now it gets good--the View is great. We stayed in room 721 (Oceanfront). The pool(which is on the 3rd floor) was directly below and the Ocean across the street. Lulu's Grill has good drinks and food on the 2nd floor of the hotel and next door is Tiki's bar and grill. In the lobby of the hotel there is internet access for a fee (like an ATM machine). A small business center with free access would have been nice. Overall we had a good stay. |

| We got a room with an ocean and beach view and it was the best view I can imagine in Waikiki. Diamond Head was on the left and the beach was on the right. It also overlooked a green park. It was absolutely gorgeous. Yes, the room was small and the shower was kind of dirty, but the view and location were so much more important to us. Besides, with only 2 of us, the room size was fine. Next time I'm in Waikiki I will stay here the entire time. |

| The hotel is at great location. Not a great but acceptable hotel. Room is quite clean but small. The beach is just cross the street. Convenient stores next door. |

| We had an oceanview room so thought it was going to be great from the pics and description...NOT. Couldn't hardley get between the bed and the walls. There were two drawers for storage--about the size of a breadbox. Really rundown property. The Pool had huge stains around it. The walls in the hall looked like a parking garage. No Internet access. We didn't stay long enough to check anything out further. Went next door to ResortQuest Waikiki and it was like coming to America from a third world country for about 60/night difference. Did get a refund from Park Shore |

| I was going to Hawaii for only a weekend, to attend a concert at the Shell. This was the perfect hotel for such an event, as it was walking distance to virtually everything I needed. It was nothing fancy but very very clean. The bed was so comfortable! The staff was very friendly. When my fire alarm started chirping due to a low battery, they had someone up there immediately! I would not hesitate to stay again or recommend it to others. And a most gorgeous view from the pool! I highly recommend it. |

| arrived and recieved prompt attention... was sent to room 1716 very large comfortable king size bed... standard price city view.. balcony was adequate... enjoyed view of water and city lights and looked straight into the marriott where the rooms looked just as small and probably cost three times as much... had nice bath tub that was large and able to soak in very hot water which i enjoy. The tv was large and there was a frig to keep drinks cold. LuLu's brought up a good dinner and the Tiki is right there... the location is incredible and you don't need a car. Much greener part of Waikiki yet close to all transportation and sights and of course right across from the nicest swimming part of Waikiki Beach. Air conditioning was adequate and there was no city noise. Curtains kept out light and had privacy layers so you could sleep in the dark without any noise. Read the negative reviews but complaining about sand in the elevator when you are right across from the beach is unreasonable. Complaining about parking in Waikiki is not relevent to the quality accmocations at this hotel... Great value for dollar.,, |

| The park shore hotel is very convenient and has the most fine location in waikiki: in front of the beach with a beautiful view, even the pool is beach view, besides capiolani park for taking a walk or bicycle ride, buses stop at the door to visit waikiki or honolulu,or hanauma bay. Buses can take you for a circle tour of Oahu at only 2$! All the staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are little with old rug and furniture but give you all your needs: a balcony, small fridge, coffee maker with coffee provided each day, a table and 2 chairs. We had two double beds, a bathroom with a bath and plenty of space for our clothes. Beach towels were given us each day at the lobby. We spent a very good time at the park shore,the best hotel in waikiki at a reasonable price, for beach and nature's lovers. |

| The park shore is in a geat location right across the street form the beach. The only negative is it is a bit aged and is in need of updating and maitenance. |
