We will be in Honolulu for just one night as our plane from the mainland gets in to late to make a connection to Kauai. Looking for where to stay near the airport as we wwill have an early flight the next day to Kauai. We usually stay at the Hilton but its not worth staying ther for a short time.
Thanks Karen

I would not recommend the honolulu airport hotel. it is dirty, rundown and desperately needs an overhaul. There's others to choose from but pass on this one.

The Best Western Plaza offers free 24-hour airport shuttle. It's not 4-star, but friends who stayed there earlier this year were pleasantly surprised by its condition, and said it was well sound-proofed against airport noise:
