Polynesian Room, Naniloa Hotel, Hilo, HI (restaurant) - Locating Tiki

I learned a few interesting tidbits from one of them. The Naniloa was first opened as a hotel in 1939. The name "Naniloa" means "very beautiful". The Polynesian Room was built in 1964. It looks like the renovations are providing some much needed TLC to the hotel after years of "deferred maintenance". Some of the videos show the Polynesian Room, but none I've watched mention any plans for it. If anyone knows, please share.
