Tiki Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 We are going to Waikiki from 4-7 June and particularly want to be very close to Ala Moana Center since we are using buses to get to tourist attractions. I have been able to identify tht 2 Waterfront hotels as the Hawaii Prince and Rennaissance Ilikai based on your database. There are a few in the Waikiki Gateway area which I can't get-hoping someone could help me:3* beach access, restaurant, pool, fitness, tennis, laundry $103 per night2* beach access, restaurant, pool, laundry $57 per night1* pool, tennis, laundry $53 per nightStill haven't decided which star level to go for-those 4*ones look very tempting but we will be out sightseeing all day and not have time to enjoy the facilities so part of me is saying economize on the room. I am also checking out Priceline possibilites-only problem is their zone is too big and can't be sure to be near Ala Moana Center. Hotwire has much better zone definitions. Not sure where the border between Waterfront and Beachfront, which one has Hilton Hawaiian Village.Thanks for your help.
thereuare Posted March 31, 2004 Report Posted March 31, 2004 None of these hotels have yet been identified. However, i would caution against buying an opaque hotel at the 1* or 2* levels. It might be ok if you know what the hotel is ahead of time and research indicates it's satisfactory for your needs, but buying one unknown can lack in many of the amenities you might take for granted (like cleanliness :) ).Just my .02 Please use this HOTWIRE and these PRICELINE LINKS: HOTELS, CAR RENTALS, and AIRFARE to begin your travel purchases
Tiki Posted March 31, 2004 Author Report Posted March 31, 2004 OK, thanks anyway. If anyone has an educated guess, I would appreciate it. I am not real fussy on room quality since we won't be in it much-location is more important. I have backpacked all over the world and have seen much worse than anything Waikiki would dish out. :) Main thing is to be near the bus station-car rental is too expensive with all the insurance/CDW/parking fees added on, though we had to do this in Kona for lack of public transport. We will be out sightseeing from 0630-2200 so we will be too tired to notice what the room is like-we already have Royal Kona booked through Priceline for the more relaxing part of the trip. Got it for $65.
thereuare Posted April 1, 2004 Report Posted April 1, 2004 It would be apreciated if you posted the details of your Priceline win in a new post in the HAWAII>>PRICELINE section of the board.Thank you.
