"Close to the beach and within walking distance of the Polynesian Cultural Center and BYU Hawaii campus. The staff was helpful and friendly, and the amenities were beautiful. Avoid the weeks when the blue bottle jelly fish are on the beach near the hotel; one stung my daughter.2018-09-02"

"The AC was so loud that we didn't sleep well; we finally turned it off and just used the fan and opened the window. The fan wobbled and clicked. The hotel landscaping was beautiful, and the dining area setting was lovely. Take advantage of the dinner, and enjoy paddling around the bay in the morning.2016-07-12"
"Nice hotel near the airport. There was no shuttle before 11 AM or after 9 PM, so we weren't able to use the service. There were only 2 check-in clerks for about 60 families, so the line was long. I didn't get to my room until 2:30 AM. No bellboy or luggage carts.2021-05-20"

How Do We Define Motel?
To us, motels are smaller lodgings that have rooms you can enter directly from the parking area.
At hotels, on the other hand, you can enter your room only through a hall inside the building.
Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot – because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
