I've stayed at this hotel 4x over the past couple of years, and every time it has been terrible. We just used it to burn some Hilton points/FNAs and have an excuse to go to Maui and explore the island - I just think if people are coming here expecting some sort of luxury hotel experience, they should re-evaluate. If you know what you're getting into and set your expectations correctly (low), I'd say that you will still be let down, but maybe at least you won't be as let down.
Exactly this. We booked this (from the U.K.) as a points redemption expecting to be at a luxury hotel. “Waldorf Astoria”. Marketing BS. We still enjoyed our stay but it took me a couple of days to adjust the expectations.
