The distance from city center is accurate and can be very helpful in identifying the hotel. Just make sure that you are starting your search from the same location for both the regular hotel list and the "hot rate" hotel list. IE- don't search for hotels from "Maui" on one page and then "Lahina" on another. I made this mistake once and it became very hard to compare the distance from city center. Also, be away that a distance of 14.1-15.1 miles does not mean that the hotel is 14.6 miles from city center. It could fall anywhere within that range.
I'm fairly sure that you are looking at the Westin there. If my memory serves, the Sheraton lists laundry facilities when you click in to it and view *all* of their amenities.
Total of $163.44 for 7 days. ($84 + $79.44 in taxes and fees). Started bidding on a Mid Size car for $10 which was rejected. $12 was my first offer on a standard car.
Bidding History: 7/28/11 - $85 7/29/11 - $90 7/30/11 - $105 7/31/11 - $115 ---Accepted--- Taxes and fees for the four nights totaled $79.16. There is no resort fee as far as I can tell, but overnight parking appears to be $30+.
When I checked out 5* hotels on Waikiki Beach, I only saw the Royal Hawaiin listed for my dates (8/20/11 - 8/24/11). In case you're interested, I was just rejected on a bid of $130/night. Let me know if you have any luck. Thanks
