They have the BEST pillows on the beds! Clean comfortable beds - good a/c - Very comfortable room. Not really a resort - I mean you wouldn't spend any time here. There is a considerable resort fee. Eat breakfast elsewhere or keep leftovers in the little room fridge. The cookies they give at check-in are delicious and made me happy. The nearby ice cream shop has Dole Whip, which I got addicted to. Bus stops nearby.

There is no resort amenities at the hotel so I am not sure why there is a resort fee. Hotel staff gave away our room even though they were notified by both Expedia and ourselves that our flight was delayed! Did not compensate us for down grade and tried to charge us for the night we were not there due to flight delay that they were informed of as soon as it occurred! Old property in need of renovations! They wanted to charge us for our room that they gave away the night before…unprofessional and totally unexceptional treatment of guests! Don’t book through Expedia they have no way to help with disputes. Staff rolled their eyes and said not our problem you booked third party…lesson learned!

The staff and service is amazing! The bell desk/valet workers treated us like family especially Scott. But all of the ones we came in contact with was exceptional. My mom had ankle surgery so was walking with a cane, they made sure to make it convenient and always had our car ready! The only downfall is they only offer valet parking and parking is $53/day. But other than that, I was impressed. Will be a returning customer for sure!!

The only thing that wasn't very good, was that there wasn't any bottle water for the guest. They had a kurig coffee maker and a fridge but no drinking water. At least provide 2 bottles of water for the fist night stay. Sometimes we arrive late and we're not able to go and buy some water.

The rooms and hotel were clean. I did not like that the room was not ready by 4 pm check in time and I had to go down stairs to pick up extra towels and bedding for sofa bed when it was known that we had 3 occupants staying in the room. Besides that, it’s was a good stay and I would recommend the hotel.

George, Rancho Mirage

This hotel had poor service from the start. The bellman stood and watched us carry our own (6) bags up a flight of steps then directed us up an escalator to check in. The hotel proceeded to put us in a room with no ocean view and a double bed which was not what we booked. We confirmed a king/ocean view. We were downgraded at the same rate basically.

Rooms are clean but a little outdated. Despite the fact our door lock was not working when we first got the room. They sent the maintenance person to fix it right away. Valet parking team did amazing job. They all super friendly and tell us recommendations around the area. Love love love their cookie. Something for us to munch on everytime we head out for the day trip. The balcony gave us a nice city view of Honolulu without the noise at night. Overall I will go back.

Location says ocean view and the view you get is buildings and at a distance you can see the ocean. Parking is bad, it’s valet parking but once filled you have to park your own car like 3 blocks away from the hotel. Room was dirty looking. I’m not going to rent a room from that hotel again.
