So based on the room listing I should book an "ocean-facing view"? Also, worth it to book with points AND the cash upgrade NOW or just wait?? Traveling with someone who hasn't been to HI before so I'm trying look impressive thanks for the help!!
Book the room you want to end up in, don't assume any upgrade will just happen. They are going to be pretty full in mid June. When I was there in Feb the barman said they had been at 90% or higher occupancy for all of the previous 6 months. (Probably a lot to do with the 7 nights for price of 4 promo they had last year). If you are going to book the base room you're just as well off doing Priceline.
