The hotel re-opened as a <a href="http://www.hotelchatter.com/tag/Sheraton%20Hotels">Sheraton</a> in 2005 after a major renovation and is considered to be located on a one-of-a-kind property atop a cliff overlooking the ocean. Along with several other hotels in Hawaii, this hotel has been averaging 50 percent occupancy since September 2008 and is having trouble paying for its loans -- even though it has free rent from the owner of the land.
