It's still no "destination hotel" by a long shot, but for a stay-nearby-because-of-connections overnight it's fine. Regular rate is ~$149, but with a free airport shuttle (as opposed to the $70 in cab fare to/from Waikiki) it's probably a wash in terms of price with what you could Hotwire/Priceline in Waikiki.
