"Great location--an easy walk to the beach.
But it's a big city, and there's a busy road between the beach and the hotel...so lots of night noise, sirens, people partying. Also, there were events, weddings, luaus directly below our room until about 9am most nights--so no resting from that noise until late (we were on the 16th floor, but noise perfectly carries). Also, the elevators are inadequate for the number of people needing to use it. Many times there were 16+ of us crammed into one because no one wanted to wait another 10 minutes for the next one. Not fun.
The room was clean, but the wallpaper was peeling from moisture, and painted sheetrock of some walls had unsightly cut marks all over. The wood counter was chipped. Very basic, and definitely in need of a makeover -- for the "resort fee" paid, the room itself didn't feel resort-like.
But some of that is forgiven for the great location, and the nice communal areas.
Also, I really enjoyed the easy access to the beach. Their own luau was also wonderful, and the buffet was excellent (though pricey). The views from the ocean front room were spectacular (but tiny porch).
I'm on the fence if I'd return."
