Ah, this place is back! I stayed there many years ago when it was a Sheraton. Here's an article about its tortured history.

My memory of the place is hazy, and I'm sure they've pumped lot of money into renovations. It's being operated by a quality lodging chain, Fairmont, so it certainly should be OK.

It is definitely "remote" by Oahu standards, and that part of the island doesn't really have any tourist-oriented facilities (or a reputation for being tourist-friendly). That said, if you want an affordable alternative to Waikiki, it could be an option. I think most visitors would do better to stay in Waikiki (prices are up but the 3 stars shouldn't be much more than $80) and, if they want a more "pastoral" Hawaiian experience, visit a neighboring island instead. Very cheap interisland airfares (like $29 each way) make that a good option these days.
