Frommer's Review
Another great buy just a 2-minute walk from numerous restaurants, shopping, and Waikiki Beach, The Breakers is about old-fashioned Hawaiian aloha, comfortable budget accommodations, and family-friendly prices. This two-story 1950s hotel has an accommodating staff and a loyal following. Its six buildings are set around a pool and a tropical garden blooming with brilliant red and yellow hibiscus; wooden jalousies and shoji doors further the tropical ambience. Each of the tastefully decorated, slightly oversize rooms comes with a lanai, kitchenette, and shower-only bathroom. Every Wednesday and Friday, you're invited (as a paying guest) to a formal Japanese tea ceremony from 10am to noon at the Urasenke Tea House next door.
Facilities:
Restaurant (poolside bar Mon-Fri, grill Fri lunch only); outdoor pool

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.
