The hotel once offered more amenities than Hilo Hawaiian but the hotel itself is very dated and in need of renovations. In late 2005, all employees were given their walking papers in an effort to rejuvinate the place. Why were they all fired? Many of them were there for decades and let atrophy setting along with becoming lathargic. In other words, many employees got too comfortable and the previous owners didn't care. The hotel is going through a major renovation process and will incorporate all new and up to date facilities. In addition, they are putting together a volcanoes tour deal to encourage visitors to see more than just the coastline.
