Royal Grove Hotel verses Waikiki Prince Hotel
 

We can get Royal Grove for $450.00 week or Waikiki Prince for $420.00 per week. Both in Waikiki late November - early December. I would be interested in your comments of pro's and con's of each. Or other ideas.
Thanks again

Warren, Are you sure the Royal Grove actually has availability? I think it looks like a great budget choice, but it's so popular I've yet to be able to get a reservation for my travel dates.

I do not know anything about Waikiki Prince except for the location. It is close to Royal Grove, both are a block or so from the beach.

Royal Grove has no parking, but you can park at a nearby hotel garage.

Waikiki Prince has limited parking for $10/day. You need to make advanced reservations to get the parking.

Both are old buildings.

Lots of good comments on the forums about Royal Grove.

I booked The Royal Grove about 2 months ago for Dec 2009 but may cacell and go for Waikiki Prince.

As Dusty said they are fairly close to each other only about a half block away and close to the beach.
The Prince as stated does have limited parking underneath the hotel and the Royal Grove has a swimming pool and beach toys could be a trade off.
We have stayed at the Grove a few times and have no problem going back there.
One more thing is Tuesday night is music night in the lobby so if you can sing, dance or play a guitar or ukelele or just sit back and enjoy the tunes.

Why are you thinking of cancelling the Royal Grove? Just curious because I'm considering staying there soon.

Some other forums state that the Prince has new paint and carpet in the last 3 or 4 years and some have talked about musty smells at Royal Grove. I really don't know which to pick.
