This property was taken over by Marriott a few years ago and they have done good at adopting their brand as best as could be expected I guess, still it lacks that something I have liked about Marriott. Its close enough to beach, but what Marriott could have done if it was oceanfront. Rooms are nice and comfortable but again average. Unfortunatley the balconies are at such an angle that you don't get the impact you could if hotel was built with a better view of wither ocean or mountains. View is not awful but it is obstructed by surrounding towers on many levels. Lobby is nice and open with the breezes that Hawaii is famous for.
