Fodor's Review:

Rooms here are not particularly special (the fifth- and sixth-floor oceanfront rooms are best), and the hotel itself is not aging gracefully. What you get instead of the luxury of the upscale resorts is a bit of local history, a reasonable rate, and a great central location. It's on a small white-sand beach with a calm swimming bay next to Kailua Pier. You can explore the lush grounds and historic Ahuena Heiau, which King Kamehameha I had reconstructed in the early 1800s. The hotel serves an ample champagne brunch every Sunday and hosts a fabulous beachfront Polynesian luau several nights a week.

Don't waste your money

Posted by archiesmom from Olympia, Washington on 7/30/07
This was probably the worst hotel room I've ever stayed in. From the outside the hotel looks fine, but don't be fooled!! The rooms are horribly worn, filthy, moldy, smelly, and disgusting. It was all I could do to hold my nose, try not to touch more than necessary, and hurry out as soon as possible. If we had booked for more than one night, I would have demanded my money back and left. What a horrible place!

Room: 1.0 Atmosphere: 1.0 Service: 1.0 Value: 1.0 RATING: 1.0
