We loved this place :-) It was perfectly located! We did rent a cheap car and use the free parking along the road in front of the zoo. There is a loading in unloading zone in front of and along side of the building which worked just fine. Although as centrally located as it is there is plenty to do within walking distance. There is a beautiful walk way right next to the hotel to watch the sun rise from! Just a block away was a cute little nail salon where my daughter and I got mani-pedi’s after dinner, it is open till 9 PM! If we ever make it to Hawaii again this is where we will stay :-)
