Of course he had no golf course view but he did get maid service every day!

I had several friends put up at the Sheraton Waikiki that year...WITH an ocean view. That's like, a $300/night room! They spent more $$$ than what their mealplan allowed, but they got to sleep in 700+ threadcount sheets every night. I don't think they moved back into the dorms after that. Who'd want to? Especially when UHM provided shuttle service to and from Waikiki!
