Location and value pricing are the top
reasons for selecting to stay at the mid-sized, two-and-a-half pearl Castle Waikiki Grand Hotel. Just
half a block from the beach, across the street from the Honolulu Zoo, and
within walking distance of Diamond Head, this property couldn't be more
conveniently placed. The rooms here are actually privately owned vacation studios,
so amenities vary, though decor is generally uninspired and dated. A pool and separate
roof deck are on hand and the LGBT-friendly vibe is evident both there and at
the on-site Hula's Bar & Lei Stand, one of Waikiki's most popular gay bars.
