There is no way I would've given this place a chance if I had not discovered that they were Ramada's property of the year for 2011. This old gal has completely had a makeover, but all the property charm has been kept. The grounds are simply divine--lots of grassy places for kids to run around, and there was even a little bunny on the premises!
The rooms were impressively clean for my persnickety mother and we appreciated the fridge and microwave. The interior design is pleasing, and the electrical outlets are ample for all your electronics.
Keep in mind: no breakfast, so if you include the cost of this, plus the hassle- you might save more money going somewhere else. This hotel could really go over the top by trying to advertise that they are Hawaii without the plane ticket price...they could provide poolside drink services, or room service with the restaurant on their property, and make lots of happy customers.
I'm not giving it a 4 because the things that reminded me it was an older property were the things that mattered to me: the jacuzzi had only 3 out of 6 jets working, and there was only a shower with no tub.
You simply can't beat the price, though, for what you get. It was the only double queen room we could find in this price range. If you are a family with small kids on a budget...give this motel a look: there is plenty of room for them to stretch and run around. The pool is sweet even if the jacuzzi is lacking. Another plus is that it is located around a lot of interesting Asian eateries, as well as a plethora of shops and chain restaurants.
Simply a good option for sensible people.
