"It's an old hotel being built in 1964. Our room was spacious and the ac worked well to combat the heat and humidity. There was no daily house cleaning and we had to ask for fresh towels. Valet parking was $45/night with in/out privileges. That's steep on top of tipping attendant each time you retrieve car. Location of hotel is convenient for walking to Ala Moana center and to Waikiki. "

8.0 out of 10, Very Good, (41)
"This is a great location! They provided beach chairs and towels and snorkel gear which was great. It could use some nicer pillows and a little updating but overall we were happy with it and where it was located. Make sure to reserve parking as we ended up having to park across the street at the zoo which was a little problematic bc 3 out of 4 of the pay to park machines didn't work."

The Twin Fin Hotel

The Twin Fin Hotel

5/5 Excellent
"We had a partial ocean view room on the 21st floor facing Diamond Head with a great view of Waikiki. The Park Shore Waikiki blocked our view of Diamond Head. The staff was very friendly. The location is EXCELLENT!! We checked out and hiked Diamond Head (reservation required) and left our luggage stored at the hotel. That worked out great since we were boarding our cruise ship much later in the day."
