Average hotel with no surprises
Hotel is overpriced for the condition of the hotel. Beautiful view but rooms are dated. Location is very good since it is centrally located to popular tourist destinations.

6/10 Good

Poor service and unclean rooms, expensive parking
Room had dead insects in the carpet, which clearly hadn't been swept, and German cockroaches running around, which is no surprise since the room's door leads directly to the outside and has about a half inch gap at the bottom, no seal like other Hawaii hotels. They moved us to another room that had food crumbs in the carpet, again clearly not swept at all, and even after we told them to alert housekeeping, they only swept up some of the crumbs. Parking was $25 a day, which is ridiculous, and ran out of spaces at least one night. The free mai-tais were also given very grudgingly, our waitress treated us very poorly as soon as we ordered them. What's the point of offering this if the staff resent it so much? Wouldn't ever stay here again, and would not recommend.

Comfortable
We enjoyed our stay. Everything was comfortable. Could maybe have used 2 extra towels with the 2 we had. Loved the lanai and the view!!

Great Service, Comfortable Room
The service was great! We did stay in the Lagoon tower which currently has construction so that was a bummer. But it wasn’t on weekends so it wasn’t loud while there. The room was definitely outdated but overall the stay was very pleasant.
