Great Resort with Exceptional Staff
Karen D (Springfield, Oregon) on Apr 19, 2025
Great resort with exceptional Staff! I woke up on our travel day back to the mainland with an epic migraine and had to reschedule travel for next day. I called the resort and they let us check in early. T...he resort was built in late 1960s, is very charming and nicely updated. Great location in the heart of Kailua. Unit was very clean with comfy bed, great pillows and beautiful view. Huggos on the Rocks next door is one of our favorite places!
Great room but not so great parking.
Paul Q on Apr 17, 2025
The room was very nice and there were plenty of pillows for the bed. Our view of the sunset over the ocean was fantastic. Only complaints were the elevator doors closed tooooo fast and the parking, which ...I paid $25 per day for, was in a lot that also had public parking. And more than a few of the people parking there hogged two spaces. Which meant I had to park further away from the hotel.
