Priceline Hotel: 2* Honolulu (Airport) Best Western Plaza

[flyme2]

Well, I guess I won't be enjoying any surf and sand this time 'round, especially at this 2* airport property. I just needed a bed to get a few hours shut eye while I waited for an early flight after a late arrival. Those HNL connections to Asia can be brutal. Because I'm a cheap SOB, I thought I'd bid a buck lower than the lowest winning bid, and I won. I guess I'll treat myself to a pack of gum.

Your Offer Price: $49.00

Best rate I found on Best Western's own site was $95 ($105.87 all in), so I saved $43.56. Now, maybe I'll buy a Mai-Tai to celebrate.

My hats off to thereuare for his tireless efforts. I used the S-B link to help out.

Sounds like you didn't need much for this stay anyway, so i'm sure it'll work out fine given your needs.

Thank you for the report and the support.

Have a restful stay and a good trip overall.

Flyme2,

At check-in ask for a room on the back side of the hotel away from

the Interstate and Nimitz highway. Otherwise, you may suffer from street noise on the front side, particularly on a higher floor as the Interstate

is elevated at this point. This place will definately be convenient and may be the only hotel/motel close to the Airport :) cause nobody goes to Hawaii to stay at the AP... :) Regards, Keoni

Thanks for the advice, Keoni. From what I understand, this hotel is most frequented by military and their friends and family due to its proximity to naval housing. Interestingly enough, flight crews I know usually get to stay at the Ala Moana Hotel closer to Waikiki, but further from the airport. I doubt the airlines ever use anything less than 3* for employees.
