Hotel Renew with teenagers

Anyone have an opinion on whether Hotel Renew would be OK to stay in for a few nights with our two teenaged sons, ages 13 and 15? The price and reviews look great but is it ';family friendly';? If not, do you have any other recommendations?

I would say 50/50 I felt when I was there the hotel was geared towards more couples or single travellers...there is no pool so I don%26#39;t know if that means anything to your teenage son%26#39;s

If you view your hotel as just a friendly, clean place to sleep and bathe, the Renew will serve the purpose fine.

But there are no common areas in the hotel where kids can comfortably hang out or meet other kids. No pool deck, no shops, no restaurants, no gardens.

If you trust them to take care of themselves in Waikiki (it is safe and at their age they will have nooooo problems), then there are plenty of activities, shops, the beach, and places to eat closeby. If not, they are going to feel mighty restricted in that little building.

How much do you want to spend per night?

Look at the Wyland Waikiki it has a pretty neat game lounge in the lobby that teenage boys would probably like.They are running some 3rd night free specials also.

I agree, the Wyland Waikiki might be better or even the Waikiki Circle Hotel.

The Queen Kapiolani might be another option.

The Hotel Renew is tucked in off an alley between bigger hotels, not much of a view or ambiance in the area.

The Queen Kapiolani faces Kapiolani park and the ocean. The Waikiki Circle is across the street from the beach and has nice views as well.

Keep your kids safe and busy. Waikiki Beach has a lot of activities to engage in. I would not let them run around Waikiki alone. It just is not a good idea in any city to do that. Teenage boys would enjoy a surfing lesson or other beach activities. I would recommend that you don%26#39;t stay as far as Hotel Renew and that you stay in a better location on Kalakaua Avenue in the vicinity from Hilton Hawaiian Village to the Moana Hotel. This is central Waikiki. The beach in front of the Moana, Surfrider, Outrigger (the one the beach where Duke%26#39;s is located), Royal Hawaiian Hotel are all good locations for teenage boys to enjoy surfing lessons, outrigger canoe rides and catamaran rides. You don%26#39;t have to stay at a beach front hotel to enjoy these things, but it is more fun to be right there. If you are looking for a good hotel but affordable, why not go with the Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel. It is probably as affordable as Hotel Renew, but in a much better location than Hotel Renew. There has been a lot written about the Hotel Renew reviews posted and you should be wary of their #1 rating. Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel is right across the street from the Moana Hotel and very central in Waikiki. Hilton Hawaiian Village is not really central in Waikiki but it does have a lot of great features for teenagers. Go to www.HiltonHawaiianVillage.com to discover more. Rates are affordable all over Waikiki so make sure you go on to Google Earth or Google Maps to find out where you are staying. Getting a good deal at a great location is very possible these days.
