Navy lodge at pearl harbor???

[ohsoblessed]

Has anyone every stayed at the Navy Lodge Pearl Harbor? We are thinking about staying two nights before our Dec 2011 cruise on POA. How convenient is this lodge with sightseeing Honolulu? We really didn't want to bother renting a car since there will be 5 of us. Would we be able to get taxi service there? Can you also tell me are there restaurants close by?

 

Thanks,

Friends stayed there a year ago--but they had a car. No facilities such as restaurants. Not sure about taxi on to Ford Island.

 

If you are eligible to stay there, why not stay at the Hale Koa. Great location in Waikiki, lots of restaurants, taxi service, etc.!

The Hale Koa is great! The beach is beautiful and they have a very nice luau. In a great location. We stayed there in 2007 for 2 nights after our cruise and loved it. We would stay the again any day.

We stayed at the Navy Lodge on Ford Island last year. It is distant from most things and there is a controlled access bridge to get there. We had a rental car so had no problems. The lodge was great, even had a brown bag breakfast you could carry with you or eat in the room. There is not much to do on Ford Island except for the museum and the USS Missouri. No shuttle bus for access that we found. Rate was much cheaper than the Hale Koa, but more than the Lodge at Hickam. Cost us around $89 a night back then. Check out the DOD Lodging site for more info.

We are staying at the Hale Koa prior to our Feb cruise - book early!. We did the Luau there a few years ago. It was OK. If you can stay, they have the cheapest food on the island and the Mai Tai's were awesome.

We have decided to stay at Hale Koa and have reservations for our Dec 2011 pre cruise stay. Thanks everyone for your replies.

You made the right decision staying at the Hale Koa. Gorgeous property. Right in the middle of it all and beach front.

The Navy Lodge would be very basis and you would have been way too far from Honolulu without a car. No restaurants near there and taxis would have cost you a fortune.
