I stayed at the Hale Koa, but tho that is run by Army MWR and has GREAT RATES it is located on Waikiki and you indicate you did not want to be in that area.....you check AirBNB ?

Hale Koa is unavailable and I really do  not have any objection to being in that area but my son lives who is called the Pearl City Peninsula and tells me that the Waikiki area is a 45 minute drive away from him.  We're trying to decide whether to stay where there is a lot to do and see like Waikiki or stay near him near Pearl City which some people have told me ismmore industrial and residential.  Decisions Decisions. I appreciate your help and that of all the others.

Pearl City is a mixed residential and industrial area- lot of military housing.....drive to Waikiki isn't too terribly bad...down Nimitz freeway and then towards town, but traffic can be heavy at times.  And in all honesty I don't remember many hotels, etc.. in that area.

I am going to tag on to this discussion. I am planning on a TC with my daughter soon on the Makin Island, no dates or paperwork available yet. I was wondering if there is a recommended place to stay in HI. I was looking at the Hale Koa but it doesn't look like I could stay there without a sponsor staying at the same time? Any suggestions on where Tigers usually stay would be appreciated. ~Ken

all your sponsor has to do is be present for your check in to verify your eligibility if you do not have a military ID

When I was stationed at Pearl Harbor from 2004-2007, there were no hotels on the island outside the confines of Waikiki except for the Navy Lodge on Ford Island. There is the Turtle Bay Resort located closer to the North Shore but good luck getting in there. I don't know if you would have any luck finding a place in Pearl City. I would look at renting a condo in or around Kailua or Kanehoe . The trek to pearl city is about the same as from Waikiki but it's a much prettier drive, especially coming down H-3 from Kanehoe. I would stay away from Waikiki altogether. It's nothing more than a tourist trap. The beaches at the north shore and on the windward side of the island are way better too. Traffic is going to suck no matter where you stay. That's Oahu.
