Great hotel, not great for “workcation”

Hotel should upgrade its Wi-Fi, which was weak and unstable, and did not comply with current network security standards that many companies require employees to use.

Absolutely loved everything about this property!! Was expecting coffee and breakfast ( no charge ) like the other Pali property I’ve stayed in but this property doesn’t offer that. No big deal but a free coffee station maybe in bar area would have been nice.
