IHG Army Hotels Building 719
Free parking and a kitchen near Bishop Museum
About this hotel
IHG Army Hotels Building 719 sits about six minutes by taxi from Bishop Museum, pairing free parking and free Wi-Fi with a kitchen in the room, useful for a family that wants to cook some meals during a longer Honolulu-area stay. Breakfast carries a fee here rather than being bundled in, and the property accepts pets. The drive out to Wet'n'Wild Hawaii runs longer than from Kapolei, about twelve minutes to the airport by comparison, so this suits a family combining a Bishop Museum visit or other Honolulu-side plans with a single water-park day trip, on this side of Oahu, for the trip, before heading out for the day, for guests staying more than a night or two.

Our take
This is a reasonable pick for a family already spending time near Bishop Museum or the wider Honolulu area, with the water park as a planned add-on rather than the main event. It suits travelers wanting a kitchen and free parking on a budget; a Wet'n'Wild Hawaii-focused trip is better served by a Kapolei base.
- ✓Pair a Bishop Museum visit with the Wet'n'Wild Hawaii day trip to make the most of the longer drive.
- ✓Use the in-room kitchen to cook some meals and offset the added cost of a longer Oahu itinerary.
- ✓Confirm current base-access rules directly with the property if not affiliated with the military.

Why guests love itWe stayed here as part of a Honolulu-focused stretch of our trip that included Bishop Museum, and the in-room kitchen helped keep costs down over several nights. The drive to Wet'n'Wild Hawaii took longer than from Kapolei, so we treated it as one planned day trip rather than a repeat destination, on a longer visit, for families planning a slides day.
