WiFi issues

Centric:
Newer, more contemporary vibe
Location not on beach
Rooms are more updated/current
Cat 4
Suite redemption with mountain & city views, some ocean views
Strong WiFi
Breakfast not open during covid, 500 point granted per day, no club
Better workout room

Any other inputs?
HR is not on the beach. It's on the other side of Kalakaua. So there are nice ocean views, but three lanes of heavy traffic between hotel and beach. While the property is older, and parts are quite dated, the rooms have been recently updated.

For me, the biggest negative of Centric is the windows don't open. In Hawaii, I want fresh air.

Not like the HR pool is anything special. Unless you like a 60s concrete vibe.
