The staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was nice and tidy with a nice big balcony. The only downside was lack of a gym and pool for use by guests. The gym required a payment and was very small.

Not good value
We were given a premium suite instead of 2 twin rooms which we already booked. The suite was musty and old. There were one renovated bathroom with spa and shower as well as an additional toilet The shower floor looked dirty. The suite consisted of 2 rooms with 5 beds altogether. But it has a little step between the two rooms and a little step between bathroom and bedroom , creating a safety hazard especially for my 80 year old mum (and us) who kept stumbling when she moved from one room to the next. The staff were helpful and friendly. We did have trouble getting s porter to assist when we arrived

We were very excited from the Expedia photos for this hotel and booked a premium room. When we arrived, we had a excellent first impression from the lobby. Our check-in staff was "in training" - but he was smart, friendly, and putting in a lot of effort - he also had a senior staff person with him, when he needed to ask questions. After all this, we were very excited to get to the room after that experience. Unfortunately the room was hugely disappointing - all the amenities were old and worn - and didn't appear properly cleaned. Some of the items on the "disappointment list" were: bed covers were stained, toilet seat was stained, curtains were frayed, and carpets were smelly. Finally, the thing that was the deal-breaker for us was the air conditioning - it was clearly old (knob controlled), weak (not blowing) and noisy (rattling) - and just didn't cool the room. All taken together, it was ultimately not a place we could spend a restful night. Quite a let-down after all the earlier build-up. I hope our experience is not typical for visitors here. I can say that I noticed we got the last room on Expedia when we did our 1-day booking. Maybe we received one of the hotel's lesser rooms because of this? I'm not sure. If the management does plan to upgrade their rooms (or has an upgraded room we were not offered), this will be a rather nice place to say. It is directly on a nice little harbor, and is only a 10-minute walk to the monorail.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The hotel is definitely very good. The furniture and fittings are all new. The standard is good enough. My family of 4 is given 4 single beds. There is also a smart phone provided for us to use. The breakfast is also very good. There is a variety of Okinawa local dishes for us to try, such as seagrapes, Bitter gourd with egg, purple potato tarts. There is also western style dishes such as omelettes, sausages, bacon. In addition, on the day of our departure, we requested for packed breakfast. The breakfast includes a can of Oolong tea, hard boil egg, sandwiches, a cup of fruits and coleslaw. Very delicious.

Will be not staying here again
The hotel exterior is currently under construction. We were given city view room as supposed to harbor view which is we paid for. The carpet and bed mattresses are very old. There is noticeable odor from the room - old cigarette smell even though we booked non-smoking room. The complimentary breakfast was only so-so.

Great hotel near downtown
We stayed for 2 nights at the hotel and overall stay was good. The hotel has shuttle service to downtown main attraction which was very good but only runs in the late afternoon to evening. The hotel was under construction but did not find any big noise or inconvenience. We were party of three but room was a bit small with two twin bed plus another single bed which was made the room full and bit small even though they gave us a bigger room. Overall staff was very polite and friendly but most of them spoke very or no English. On the last day we had the breakfast at the restaurant which the buffet was good. The only problem was when we asked the waitress that we wanted to seat a different seat she became very rude and threw the napkins at the table when we first went into the restaurant looking for a seat. I would really like to give at least 3-4 star for this hotel, but that service at the breakfast really made me to change the rating to 2star.

Unfortunately the exterior of the hotel is under renovation so the entire building was covered up. Room was excellent and the hotel had a very luxurious and premium feel. Front desk staff that assisted me did not speak english very well and seemed to be more focused on providing chinese service. View was great from the room and also from the breakfast hall. About a 10 minute walk to the nearest yui rail station.

Convenient but not recommended
The location and harbor view were great. The breakfast buffet was adequate. Other than that, I would not recommend. Rooms are worn looking. There is a step up into the bathroom, which is very dangerous, especially at night. The cleanliness was average to poor. Service was not great. We could not even order a wine at the bar. They wanted us to order single drinks from rooms service and only wine by the bottle. Not helpful. Slow check-in. Unimpressive lobby and too crowded for small area.

Review
Hotel was slightly dated and there were no elevators. They had a luggage lift, so you didn't have to haul up your bags. The wifi was good for 2 of the 3 days that we were there. They had a concierge desk that was ever manned. They tried to help when they could. The aquarium was a 5 min walk. The worst (and only) bad thing that I can say is that their pool was terrible. It was only about 3 feet deep and the water was almost hot.
