the hotel needs a refurbishment, it may be old but the furniture and rooms leave a lot to be desired. For one night it's fine, but I don't recommend it for a long holiday.

This is more like a 2.5 star hotel

Looks beautiful on the outside, great location, but rooms need a major overhaul! Carpets are dirty and not cleaned underneath furniture, housekeeping does a poor job and beach chairs are not cleaned or sterilized between each person using…

Not sound proof, very loud area.

I booked this room because it advertised sound proof rooms, however it was far from sound proof. I had ear plugs in and could still hear the very loud party somewhere in the hotel with screaming and cackling party goers… the party was still going past 5 AM when I left the hotel for my race. I paid online when booking the hotel with fees and all, then showed up only to pay another $29 for “hotel fee” and $35 for off site parking. The room did not have blankets and we had to ask for them at the front desk.

Good location. Basic stay.

I booked it because it had a kitchen but I wasn’t comfortable cooking in it. That’s just me though. The location is great. I also appreciate them offering free beach chairs and towels.

Mauvaise odeur dans les toilettes

Il y avait de très mauvaises odeurs dans la salle de bain. Il fallait fermer la porte pour éviter que l’odeur du drain se rende dans la chambre

The staff were very kind and helpful but our room was not that great, and immediately upon walking out of the elevator the air smelled like mildew. The water in the shower was lukewarm, our concierge was super friendly and offered to move us to a different room. The A/C unit was leaking onto the floor inside the room which could be the reason it smelled so foul.

Great time at Hawaii!

I changed to this hotel because of my original hotel was not clean, not hot water. This place made me feel like I was at a great place, great price, location and the whole experience was Hawaii excellence.
