"Breakfast had a decent assortment. The breakfast staff were very friendly and attentive. The parking was a bit over priced but thats common for Hawaii so I don’t blame the hotel just be ready to spend 50 a night. The games -dominoes, mini golf, ring toss were great. Get snacks/drinks at the abc store across the street if possible. I spent 14 dollars on two sofas and a pack of starburst. Rooms were smaller than expected but clean and comfy. Was a good stay for what we were doing the breakfast made it worth it for sure."
