Hotel surroundings

The area around the hotel felt safe. I once used a dispatch service to get to the hotel front the shopping center, and it was only$4. There are many busses running, so it is a very convenient location.

Children from Hawaii’s soccer tournament were staying. Parents and coaches were friendly and nice to talk to. Others guests were mainly tourists. The hotel rooms were fully booked when I stayed.

Access

The hotel was located near the highway and there were many shops around. My purpose was to enjoy the local business trip, so it was very convenient. I got excited about going to a theme park to finally be able to visit WinCo Foods, a family store. In addition, there was NORDSTROM and access to other local shops were good.

Summary

I had a very enjoyable stay. There was an organic market near the hotel, and it was fun to walk in and look around. I tasted nuts and so on and bought them a little by little. It was also nice to have dinner at the BBQ grill. Before check-in, I went to the supermarket, bought meat, prepared it in the kitchen in the room, took it down and enjoyed it. When I was doing BBQ in the courtyard, I was able to walk to many guests. The next day, I worked out at the gym, swam in the pool, and had a good time.
