A very quick search for room from Nov 9-14 shows availability of rooms at
the Aqua Palms Waikiki for $139 a night (including taxes) and it's probably
closer to the convention center than some of the Hilton towers. And it has
a better rating on trip advisor than the Hilton.
The Equus for $165 a night looks even better. Great reviews--far better
than the Hilton's. And lots more. The Doubletree has rooms for $216/night.
All reasonable, close, and with good ratings--all better than the Hilton,
except the Doubletree.
And this just scratches the surface. There's easily 6 hotels that are both
cheaper and have better ratings than the Hilton, and still have rooms for
the IETF week, within a few blocks. What's the problem?

When I looked, the equus which is like two blocks away was like $145,

I'm not saying I recomend it, but the problem with Honolulu isn't a lack
of hotels
Now I'm confused.
I thought there was a goal of having a reasonable range of nearby hotel
costs, for hotels that were actually reasonable to stay at.
Citing the cost goal, without satisfying the adequacy goal, seems a bit
odd, Joel.
