Good Honolulu hotel?

[pickens_46929]

Coming to Honolulu in late November and just found out they tore down the O'Hana hotel where I usually stay in Waikiki.

Any recommendations on a good, inexpensive hotel?

Doesn't have to be in Waikiki... going to do a quick 2-tank dive upon arrival, have a meeting then visit Pearl Harbour before going to the airport the next day.

Thanks in advance!

The overwhelming majority of your Oahu hotels are going to be in the Wakiki area. Almost all of the non-Wakiki places are the super-expensive resorts like the Marriott Ko'Olina.

There's a couple of places by the airport but you don't really want to stay there as I did for a couple of nights (long story); there is NOTHING in the area that is within walking distance, and you will either get a lovely view of the airport itself, or the elevated highway.

Which O'hana hotel was demolished? I hope it's not the Maile Sky Court, at the "Y" when you enter Waikiki from downtown and the airport. I stayed there for several days back in 2004 and I found it to be a very nice hotel for the price.

I think it was about $80/night for a 2 bed studio with kitchenette. It's not on the beach but a very close walk. Being at the beginning/end of Waikiki it's a bit of a walk to most of Waikiki's shops and attractions, but I didn't mind it.

Maile Scky Court is still there....Most of the Hotels on the piece of Lewers from Kalakaua to the beach were torn down and are being rebuilt.

I stayed at the Holiday Inn Waikiki a few weeks ago and it cost $140 per night.
It was clean and comfortable. No complaints.

After that I went diving with Oahu Divers ( Roger & Lisa ) ... Now that was a hoot. Can't wait to do it again.

$100 to $150... would rather spend money on diving... and food

my friends stayed at the Marc Suites, paid $100 a night and the room had a small kitchenette...the bathroom was small, but clean and the room was nice.

I just looked up the Aqua Bamboo and they start at $99...we've stayed there in one of their suites....very nice, it was renovated in 2003

Then there is the Waikiki Sand Villa, it is on the Ala Wai....I've heard good stuff from that too.
