Harbor Shores Apartment Hotel

"I spent about 2 weeks here for work/business, and was debating a rating. Finally, I gave them 5 stars. For the price, which is significantly cheaper than most other hotels (especially in Waikiki), it is a good value. Just don't expect any luxury amenities. But for families and work groups that need a discounted place to stay, especially for very long trips, this place is good. Pretty clean and with a good, central location (away from traffic and close to shops and restaurants, and close to the Joint Base Pearl Harbor), if you're not looking for a luxury getaway, it is good. You get a kitchen and sleeping for up to 4 in each room. The staff is very friendly and helpful. There's even washers and dryers onsite."

"If you’re military with kids and pets, this place is great! I stayed here coming to island in 2020, and again leaving this year. 2 bedroom 1 bath, living area and kitchen. They allow dogs and cats, no weight restrictions! I left with my 2 cats and my 80 pound Siberian / Malamute mix. They’re on the TLA list, centrally located to a decent amount of stuff, definitely give it a shot! Waikiki is crazy, everything is more expensive down there, save yourself the headache and book here where it’s calmer, quieter, and more convenient to get to stuff. Also John is super friendly and helpful, definitely helped make our stay enjoyable during COVID quarantine on arrival, and while leaving the island. Mahalo for everything!"

"Highly recommended for military personnel on TLA. One of the few hotels on Oahu that allow cats AND dogs, with parking included. In our case, we were able to stay under the TLA limit and also did not have to pay any amenity/pet fees out of pocket. Rooms are huge: a 2 bedroom suite with a small kitchen (with oven + stove) and a living room. The staff was very attentive, friendly, and accommodating. The Aiea location is also very convenient, being a relatively short commute (20-25 minutes) to Schofield, and 10 minutes to JBPHH (which also means easy access to the NEX and the Pearl Harbor Commissary, which are both fantastic). The neighborhood might look a little bit off-putting at first, but we got to be very comfortable pretty quickly. There are a lot of good food and shopping options in Aiea. This hotel was a great value for us. If you want to enjoy the perks of a "vacation" lifestyle on your TLA, then you are probably better off finding a place in Waikiki - however, that comes with extra costs that might not be covered by TLA (ex: parking, resort fees, pet fees, more expensive rooms, etc), significantly smaller rooms, extra travel time (and the horrific downtown traffic), having to deal with hordes of tourists, and overall higher cost of living (food and daily amenities are much more expensive in Waikiki)."

"We loved our stay here while we were pcsing out. We don’t like busy Waikiki and prefer a more stress free stay. I liked that we didn’t have to worry about finding a parking spot as you are assigned a spot and there is also street parking. The hotel was nice and quiet and clean even if it is outdated. The saltwater pool was always clean and never too busy! It was also the perfect depth for adults and kids, 3’-6’. I appreciated all the patio furniture with umbrellas for shade. This location was perfect for my husband commuting to hickam/camp smith and is very close to shopping. The hotel itself is safe and gated but surrounding areas are a little sketch but we are used to living on this side of the island. The laundry room was never busy and we were able to use their giant commercial dryers. The front desk can give you quarters. The rooms all have 2 bedrooms so the kids can have their own space and they have tvs in them. Loved the full kitchen so we could make all of our meals. I do wish they had a few more kitchen equipment to use such as cookie sheet, oven mitts, mixing bowls, measuring cups/spoons. The Lanai patio was large enough to store our stroller and many people stored their dog crates out there as well. The hotel is very large dog/pet friendly. They have the best staff working here and are so accommodating. They have made our last week in Hawaii very easy and I wished we had known about them when we first moved to Hawaii. You aren’t going to find better in Waikiki as far as hotels that take TLA with 2 bedrooms/free parking/no pet fees. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a relaxing vacation or to military families pcsing."

"Great location to stay with pets if you want to be near Hickam! Everyone is very kind and accommodating, plus the rooms are very big and you are super close to the mall. Perfect for a stress free stay with your family."
