has all the advantages of a Sheraton without the
oceanfront prices."

Gayot "Across the street from Waikiki Beach and next door to the International Marketplace, this hotel occupies the beachside estate of Hawaii's Princess Kaiulani."
BlackBook "Not for those who crave oceanfront luxury, but more of an off beach tourist hotel with droves of international visitors and just a few Americans."
Frommer's "This hotel is prized for its moderate rates (for a Sheraton)." Full review
