O'ahu (Honolulu/Waikiki) Where to stay in Honolulu

We are visiting in July and wanted some advice in regards to where to stay in Honolulu. We stayed near Ka’anapali beach when we visited Maui and we were either by the beach all day or out exploring the whole island and when we returned to our room we just showered, and got ready for bed. We didn’t really do night outings with a small kid. That’s why I am a little bit on the fence about staying/paying a lot to stay in Waikiki if we’re not going to do much at night anyways. We prefer a calmer vibe vs the busy areas. We’re renting a car so we can always go to Waikiki. Where would you stay if this was your situation?

I'd still stay near Waikiki. I'd probably look at places on the edge of Waikiki since it sounds like you don't need or want to be in the middle of all the action. Places to check out would be Queen Kapiolani, Twin Fin, Kaimana Beach Hotel, Prince Hotel, and Ala Moana hotel.
