airport hotel for one night-6 people no car

My sisters and I will be taking our granddaughters(11, 13, 13) to Hawaii next summer. We plan to spend 8 days on Kauai, and will be on Oahu for one night between flights at the beginning of the trip.Don%26#39;t want the hassle of renting a car for that short a time(arrive 6pm leave 2pm the next day),. I figured we could stay at one of the hotels near the airport , which all say they have free airport shuttles, get up early in the am(no problem as we%26#39;ll be on east coast time) and take The Bus to Pearl Harbor, spend some time there, then back to the hotel check out and go to the airport. Does this sound like a reasonable plan? Any input on hotels inexpensive places to eat, and transportation given our time constraints?

airport hotel for one night-6 people no car

hi there i logged onto your thread because i am trying to get some info about how yucky the hotels are near the airport.

i was there in 2005. we took an organised tour to pearl harbour. the tour bus picked us up at 5.50am, and after a few others, we arrived at pearl harbour around 7.30am the line for tickets to go out to the ?Arizona were already one hour long.

so you can do that by yourself, but make sure you get out really early. not sure what time public buses go, but the buses in oahu are really frequent. jsut watch teh time, and even maybe check out, and have them mind your bags, then if you are running late, you hav e one less thing to do on your return to the hotel.

which hotel are you staying at?

i stayed at the honolulu airport hotel. the foyer was nice, but the walk to the rooms and the drab, and yucky paint peeling was a real turn off. the photos look like they have altered the pool to something you might actually go in, and they do say they were renovating this year, so i think of the two maybe i should stick with the one i know. i am doing that in waikiki. with one night on our return from the islands to be at near the airport.

hope my thougths help you decide.
