Hello. I just booked the DblTree Alana Waikiki: 9/24-28 @ 40K pts/each (couldn't get the 5th night free b/c of no availability). Had to book over the landline (it showed the 40K online but couldn't book online (Anyway to still collect the 500pt online bonus/get compensated for the 5th night loss?).
This is for a secret wedding anniv before either moving on to GH Kauai/HR Maui for the actual anniv day. Staying here to visit Pearl Harbor (the main reason b/c I'm a Disabled Vet and it seems closer). After reading the majority of everything here, I'm now not planning to reserve a car until later (Has Uber arrived in HNL yet in case I don't take a shuttle?).
I would like to know how good of a hotel this is (even after reading TripAdvisor I'm still not sure). I'm HH Gold so what should I expect upgrade and free bkfst wise? I still have the HR Waikiki on hold for cash+pts. I'm wondering which is the better option? I will be Hyatt Diamond by the time I reach there and might divide the 4 days into 2 nights w/ pts+cash and 2/pts only.
I have Groupons for "Chef Chai,M,Cafe Julia and Tilia Aloha (bkfst)." Considering Nico's Pier.
