Can anyone help? I am planning a trip to Honolulu for two weeks in early
January, 1987, and would like to locate an inexpensive hotel to stay in.
The phone book lists FOUR PAGES of likely-sounding places (i.e. non-chain
names, no ads with listing), and I don't know where to start. I want to
stay in Honolulu, but not necessarily Waikiki. Any idea what I can do,
other than start telephoning?

If cheap is the objective, then you should look at staying in a condo
instead of a hotel. Costs are typically $40-$80 per day. You are
responsible for all consumables (e.g. food and napkins) but the condo supplies
everything else (e.g. dishes, utensils, etc.) although you should
bring your own beach towels. Food costs should be about $50 per person per
week or you can bring your own. A friend of mine brought 5 boxes of
food with him on his trip to Hawaii and did not have to buy any
food there except for some fresh fruits. It is best to bring some
stuff of your own as food prices are quite high in Hawaii but beware of
certain agricultural restrictions. The state doesn't like you to
bring fresh fruits over.
