We enjoyed our stay, the highlights for us were the live music ( Friday night, he was incredibly talented 10/10 musician) and the drag queen bingo on Sunday! Drinks were well made and entertain was 10/10 at Bahi Hut tiki bar on site. Clean rooms. Comfortable bed. Easy parking. Very pleasant staff. Would absolutely recommend. There is no elevator to second floor. But the front desk was able to switch our floor to the main level to accommodate an older family member with us. (( Just a heads up in case you might be traveling with someone with limited mobility)) The vibe of the hotel is fun and retro. I felt like I was in Elvis's Blue Hawaii.
