As part of our 3 week trip to Hawai'i in March, we will be spending a week in O'ahu at the Imperial. I traded into the unit through RCI & had to book a Thur to Thur even though we will be staying at our prior stop, Maui, until Friday. I booked a Palm unit and will be with my 23 YO daughter.
My questions:
It is my understanding that units are assigned as you check in. Which probably means I'll get the worst unit since I'm checking in a day late? (I do plan on calling to let them know I'm coming in a day late.)
Can exchangers use the Owner's Lounge? I've seen conflicting information on this.
How much is it to do laundry? Any problems getting washers & dryers? I'll be taking Purex 3 in 1's with us, so detergent will be no problem.
I plan on renting a car on two days only (a Saturday for shopping & on a Tuesday for exploring) ... does the garage charge per day or per 24 hours? I anticipate picking up the cars (Thrifty Waikiki) in the a.m. & returning them the next a.m., which will mean I'll need to park overnight.
Anything else I need to know or tips on staying at the Imperial? I understand the units are dated and small, but that's fine as long as they're clean.
Another ? -- is there a way for printing boarding passes?
Mahalo! I'm SO excited about our trip!
