"The property had a nice atmosphere, but parking was terrible. Either you have valet, which is $45 a night, and the was cheaper than most places. You park on the meter parking our find somewhere along Ala Wai, that's usually packed as well. Overall, service is answered promptly. My first room had a messed up bathroom knob, they switch me to a better room next to the poolside view. People are usually in and out here at night because of the bar services. Friday DJ is there. "
