• Partial Ocean View: $365.00 excluding taxes and a non-negotiable daily $20.00 resort fee

All rates are based on single or double occupancy and are exclusive of applicable state and local taxes and subject to availability.

When booking online, only list the number of adults in the guest count and provide the number of children in the reservation notes. Please make sure to indicate your bedding preferences (i.e. king or double queen beds) in the reservation notes and call the hotel directly to make sure that your reservation preferences are noted.

The resort fee includes self-parking, unlimited basic Internet access, and other amenities. The PSB hotel block sells out, so make your reservations as soon as possible. PSB cannot guarantee the group rate once the room block has sold out. If you are unable to make a reservation, please contact the PSB Coordinator at psb.hawaii @ gmail.com.

Self-parking for one vehicle per room is covered by the resort fee. If attendees choose to use Valet Parking versus the Self-parking included in the resort fee, the charge will be the difference between the Self-parking rate and the Valet Parking rate, applicable for one car daily.
