Frommer's Review
This boutique hotel operated by the Hilton Hawaiian Village is a welcome oasis of beauty, comfort, and service. It's an intimate choice, offering the amenities of a much larger, more luxurious hotel at affordable prices. The guest rooms underwent a $2.9-million renovation, with new carpet, wallpaper, woven-palm-frond curtains, refinished and reupholstered furniture, 25-inch TVs, and "Sweet Dream" pillow beds. Some rooms may be small but make good use of the space and offer all the amenities you'd expect from a more expensive hotel. Wireless Internet access is available throughout the hotel, and hard-wired DSL service is on four floors. Many guests are business travelers who expect top-drawer service -- and the Alana Waikiki delivers. The staff is attentive to detail and willing to go to great lengths to make you happy. Waikiki Beach is a 10-minute walk away, and the convention center is about a 7-minute walk.

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.
Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.
The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
