INEXPENSIVE
TheEquus
Formerly the Hawaii Polo Inn but now under the management of Aqua Hotels and
Resorts, this small boutique hotel was renovated and upgraded a few years ago. The very
comfortable inn is within walking distance of the Ala Moana Shopping Center, Waikiki Beach,
and the Hawaii Convention Center. All but one of the modest-sized rooms are shower-only,
and studio suites are proportionately small but have microwaves and hot plates.
Warning:
Ala
Moana Boulevard is very noisy; ask for a room in the back or bring earplugs. Also, the neigh-
borhood can be a little dicey after dark.
1696 Ala Moana Blvd. (btw. Hobron Lane and Ala Wai Canal), Honolulu, HI 96815.

RamadaPlazaWaikiki
Just 2 blocks from the beach, 2 blocks from Ala Moana Shopping Center,
and a 7-minute walk from the convention center, this former Holiday Inn has a great loca-
tion and offers the Ramada chain's usual amenities for prices that are quite reasonable for
Waikiki. All rooms, which have a modern look, are equipped with either a king-size bed or
two doubles. The property sits back from the street, so noise is minimal. Staff is unbelievably
friendly.
