I just happened to be doing a lot of work in the area during that time frame so it stuck out to me.
In talking to some of the hotel workers that I knew in the area at the time they basically said Marriott had to take what they could get (to be in Waikiki) and this property was it.
That about sums it up. Now you have the owners of the Mona looking to add onto the existing property with a high value tower the Sheraton Princess who they also own is slated for major renovations with a rumored additional tower! Don't forget condo hotels. I foresee one or more converting. Just saying
