The rooms always were musty and there were huge toads hopping around. Other than that it was just a place to drink beer between Hawaii and Japan.
There is high, or steep rising, terrain that you have to be wary of on approach to the preferred runway. There is a memorial for the Korean Air flight at the spot that you can see on the way in.
