They are right on the beach and had some nice restaurants.
I'm not sure if they are in the same price range as the HI, but if they are close on price then I would book there over the Beachcomber.
Thanks for the response. I do have the IHG points, so can afford it points wise. I would not pay cash for the stay, and if doing so, probably not at this property...but why pay $$ for a stay when I can MS.
I have stayed at the Hilton Waikiki, so understand that this HI is a city hotel, noise, traffic, blocked view, etc, etc. If I had enough HH points, I would stay at Hilton Waikiki, at least I am guaranteed high floor, ocean view with less buildings in front, and EL lounge in basement, but have used them all up in Cabo.
Still debating about the 35K/ night, at 25K I would do it.
