Castle Pacific Marina Inn Airport Hotel, Honolulu

Advantages: cheap at first glance
Disadvantages: not really cheap, overall insufficient product & service quality

...Hotels, 5 Stars ~ the lowprice Holiday Inn Express Hotels, 2-3 Stars ~ the Holiday Inn Resorts, upmarket holiday resorts The HI Group is itself part of a larger Group, Bass Hotels, which also includes the brands Inter-Continental and Forum Hotels. I have myself stayed at five of the HI Group's hotels, and have spend a total of around 25 nights there: ~ Holiday Inn Hotel, New York JFK Airport ~ Holiday Inn Hotel, Warsaw ~ Holiday Inn Hotel, Paris CDG Airport ~ Holiday Inn Hotel, Istanbul ~ Holiday Inn Crown Plaza, Istanbul In order to stay within the right category, I will only discuss my experiences with the classic Holiday Inn Hotels - and there the picture is very doom.

...Having booked my New Year break in November 2004 I decided I would need to book an airport hotel to make sure I got my flight on time. I live in the Midlands and would find it really difficult to get down to Heathrow for 6am especially at holiday time. I haven't stayed in any airport hotels in London before so I really wasn't sure what to book and what to look for.

Disadvantages: Too big!!!

...I recently stayed in this hotel for a couple of weeks due to a training course, and was pleasantly surprised. While not as immediately appealing, as some of the other, more grand, hotels surrounding Heathrow Airport, all of which were fully booked, the Park Inn seemed to have better facilites and better service than most of the other local hotels. Having a pool in the fitness centre was a bonus, especially when staying for a while. Also being able to get a drink and some food when arriving late, without having to pay £20+ for room service was another benefit. Bit of a shame I couldn't get my breakfast to go though, as was not being able to get a taxi in the morning when I'd requested it the night before. While my scores may not be the highest ever given, I'd usually give a lot lower to most airport hotels...... Read review
