I know several Fodorites like this hotel. Sorry to say, it's another victim of the economy.

Thank you for posting. This is very sad news
It's not a huge surprise though, I was worried alll along the Hawaiiana might not survive the "remodel" of BeachWalk. I liked that neighborhood the way it used to be... more funky, less Vegas-like.
I loved that place. What a shame.
