I recently visited this hotel for the Hawaii Food and Wine festival. The event itself was great and there were no disruptions for the few hours I was there. However, there is a strike going at the moment with a picket line at the entrance and rather loud employees on the march. I'm not familiar with all the issues but it seems a shame a labor dispute would reach this point. Current guests have no room service, housekeeping or access to all amenities. There are certainly going to be a number of guests that will never return to this hotel. Until this is resolved, I strongly advise booking elsewhere. It's a great hotel and I would normally recommend it.
