What other hotels are nearby within walking distance that I might check into staying at? I would like to stay as close as possible but maybe find a more affordable hotel to reserve.

What is the best hotel to stay at in Honolulu Hawaii?
Q. i need some hotels that are clean and not over 300 dollars a night.
A. The Hilton is very nice but a bit far on the strip. The Halekulani and Kahala Hotel & Resort are amazing and unique hotels, but the latter is on the east coast with free shuttle service to downtown. If you want something more traditional try the Royal Hawaiian.
What city in Hawaii should I go on vacation?
Q. I'm searching for an inexpensive place in Hawaii filled with good shopping, attractions, beaches, restaurants. Including many fun activities to do for my family and I for about a week. Any good ideas? Best Hotel during July?
A. Well, the term "inexpensive" is rarely used when referring to anything in Hawaii, but your best deals on a hotel will probably be found in Waikiki due to the fact that that's where the highest number of hotel rooms are located. Oahu offers over 100 beaches around the island, though not all are suitable for swimming...some are surfing beaches, snorkeling/diving, etc. The majority of them, however, are swim-able.
Honolulu is the 11th largest city in the US, so you will find ample shopping (Ala Moana Shopping Mall and the Royal Hawaiian Center are worth checking out) and excellent selection of restaurants and entertainment opportunities. Oahu is home to Diamond Head, Pearl Harbor, Hanauma Bay (snorkeling), the Polynesian Cultural Center (#1 Paid Attraction in Hawaii), and more things you can possibly do in a week.
Of course, being the 11th largest metropolitan area in the US also means its crowded, so if you're wanting to get away from "city life", plan on renting a car and driving around to the other side of the island. (Virtually all hotels in Waikiki charge $30-40/night for overnight parking, gas went over $4/gallon weeks ago, so keep that in mind. By July, gas should be well over $5/gallon.)
The other location you might want to consider is Kailua-Kona on the Big Island of Hawaii. Lots of hotels/resorts in the area, without the city feel. Bargain rooms, however, are a little harder to come by, though you can probably find a room for $120-180/night in a hotel, resorts will start closer to $225/night.
Not as much shopping or dining options, although many of the resorts offer some good food. Kailua is not exactly a shopping mecca, but does have Wal-Mart, Target (within the last 3 yrs), and Costco. Some of the resorts actually offer some good shopping opportunities, but you should know that Kailua is not exactly "shopping mall" territory.
Things to do range from star-gazing at the Kilauea Visitors Center (around 12,000'), night snorkeling with Manta rays,

and of course, the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. The Big Island of Hawaii has the most varied climates (all but two of the 13 climate zones) since it goes from sea-level to 13,000+' in elevation. There's also a black sand beach you can visit (not recommended for swimming) and a green sand beach (requires a 5 mi. rd-trp hike),

as well as the most southern point in the USA, Ka Lae (aka South Point).
Kailua is located on the leeward or dry-side of the island (actually severe drought this past year w/around a total of 4.5" of rain), so if you want to see lush tropical scenery and waterfalls, you'll have to drive to the other side of the island.
