I found the renovation schedule here:

Their front desk said that they were ahead of schedule and _might_ be finished the main lobby by the time I get there (Dec 16). I'd think January would be safe. The room renovations are going on in one tower only so the other tower (renovated 3 yrs ago) isn't a construction zone.
From their web site, Pearl Harbor is 14 mi and the airport is 10.
