I was hesitant to post this up here with out all the complete research, because of the things you mentioned Sven. I guess I was influenced by my luck of finally getting inside that restaurant to take pictures. I thought they were pretty cool and wanted to post them. Plus I thought there was a chance that someone on here might have had some knowledge/insight/history with the place.

As for what influenced me to consider the hotel (not the restaurant, which was created at a much earlier date) polynesian pop, is that fact that the research that I have done at the historical society always refers to that hotel as polynesian, when it was built. So, I kind of tried connecting some very faint dots. Luckily, I just found out yesterday, the head of the historical society has just started looking for more info on the history of the restaurant. Now as for myself, my interest mostly lies with the hotel, since I have seen it referred to as polynesian in more than one instance. But hopefully the historical society will run across info on the hotel as well. Though historical societies surely are not always qualified as to when to refer to something as polynesian or not, I'm hoping because of the frequency of the use of this term on more than one occasion by multiple will in fact better the odds of it being true.

My goal is to continue to find more info on this place. Hopefully with photos to back it up!
