Best Western The Plaza Hotel Honolulu Airport - Free Breakfast
We were looking to be close to the Honolulu airport for our last two nights in the islands. It was quiet with easy parking. The room was fully appointed and we felt very comfortable during our stay.

Sheraton Waikiki Beach Resort
Direct access to the beach, and beautiful pool with hot tubs. However, I expected transportation to and from the airport as it was announced online, but there was no shuttle at all for this hotel.
