The one time I went to Hawaii for fun, I stayed at the Hale Koa - the military hotel that I believe is next door. That was in 2015.

The first time in Hawaii, it was for work and I was in billeting on Pearl Harbor!

Thanks for the info on the Ilikai Todd, I don't know a lot about Hawaii and less about the Waikiki area. I probably know more about the military side of things than anything
