What is the vibe like at Hotel Hilo on weekdays vs. weekends?

On weekdays (Monday - Wednesday), Hotel Hilo offers a more relaxed and quiet atmosphere, perfect for unwinding after a long day. Our Gameyard is open for casual play, and guests can enjoy the peaceful surroundings. Once Thursday hits, the energy shifts as we bring in Game Night/College Night with Mario Kart and yard games from 6 PM to midnight, with potential for late-night DJs during summer months. Fridays and Saturdays are the peak of our excitement, with Gameyard opening at 3 PM and our DJ sets and late-night parties taking place from 9 PM to 4 AM. Sundays are relaxed during the day, perfect for the ultimate Sunday Funday from 3 PM to midnight, offering day parties in the summer to close out the weekend. The weekend atmosphere is lively and high-energy, while weekdays offer a more peaceful retreat.
