HONOLULU (HI Now) - There is something special about a day in Kapolei where you can settle into a refreshed island stay, share a steaming bowl of ramen with family, and find a new favorite for your beauty routine.
General Manager Evelyn Shiroma of the Hampton INN & Suites shares how the property wide refresh brings ocean inspired blues, coral accents and nostalgic Hawaii photography to guest rooms, the lobby, the breakfast area, the fitness center and meeting spaces.
Located steps from shopping, dining and entertainment, the hotel offers complimentary daily breakfast with local favorites like Portuguese sausage, ample complimentary parking with no resort fees, plus a pool, new washers and dryers, and meeting spaces open to the public for business gatherings and celebrations.
Food also takes center stage with MENSHO Kapolei.
Senior Operations Manager Dennis Diaz talks story about the first Hawaii location for the internationally acclaimed ramen shop founded in Tokyo in 2005 by ramen master Tomoharu Shono.
