The only downside to this hotel is the distance from Waikiki and that’s not necessarily a bad thing depending on what you want. The staff here is very nice. The rooms are clean and spacious. Bathroom has a bidet. Tub could be bigger to fit two people easier but still bigger than most. Room was very quiet all day. Tons of things to do at hotel as well as places to eat. 24/7 pool and hot tub! Great place to be if you want to get away and relax.

Property was great. Very clean. Staff were the best part. Very friendly. I noticed that the hotel was undergoing upgrades to some rooms, particularly the room right above mine. They started banging at 7am. And I did mention that thus was a disruption to my sleep and they took care of some of the charges applied to my room. I’m happy with the overall experience though. Would stay here again.
