Yeah, my first time flying commercially was when I was about 10 years old. MSP-OAK-OGG-HNL. Anyway, we stayed at the Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach. Very nice hotel, but not cheap. I think the last hotel I stayed at was Pacific Beach hotel. That was cheaper and in the Waikiki area, though not quite as nice. Realistically though, if you're spending much time in your room, you're doing it wrong
