As far as hotels near the airport in HNL, apparently there are two one is a BW and the other I can't remember, but they both get questionable reviews on TA. What I have been doing is if the hotel price where I am staying is reasonable, then I just book it for one more night. I know this can be a bit costly but at least I am not wandering around for hours and hours.
