5. This hotel is a reliable and convenient place to stay for us, although somewhat pricey, we feel like it is worth it -- but be sure to look for the SPG deals on the hotel website, such as breakfast included, 5th night free etc.The only thing is that the Waikiki Beach reclamation project (huge trucks transferring up and down the beach dumping sand to re-fill out the beach), starts daily from 7 am until about 2 pm Mon-Thurs, so the sound of the trucks may be heard on the lower floors -- we were OK, but I could faintly hear them on the 17th floor.
