Thanks for posting that. I was just reading through a bunch of threads here trying to find info on which rooms had this view ^
According to the pics
here, there are a few lower floor (non-deluxe) Oceanfront rooms that should have a similar view of Diamond Head. Anyone have any experience with the regular OF rooms on the Diamond Head side of the hotel?
The AAA rate for a stay in the next 2 weeks is great, but the difference between an OF room and a deluxe OF room is $130/night.

That's almost double the daily rate.
