Say goodbye to these rooms!

For 2011, the Ocean Resort Hotel Waikiki is going to get a much-needed makeover. The Hyatt will give it a Heidi Montag-sized face-lift and turn it into the Hyatt Place Waikiki Beach.

The Diamond Head hotel's 451 rooms will get nipped and tucked, the lobby and public spaces will see major changes, and the pool deck will receive an update.

We're fans of the wallet-friendly hotel brand that targets business travelers. The contemporary rooms are nice and spacious, come with tech panels that make us geeks drool and have the oh-so-coveted free WiFi. Also, stays come with a free continental breakfast.

Usually, Hyatt Places pop up near airports and other business areas. But the Waikiki edition, the first Hyatt Place in Hawaii, will be in a resort spot. There's already a Hyatt Regency Waikiki Resort & Spa in the 'hood, but there likely won't be much competition between the two since the Hyatt Place will cater to more of a budget-conscious crowd.

If you're looking forward to snag a room in the face-lifted Hyatt Place, the first round of renovations is set to be done by November.
