A judge in Honolulu has cleared the way for payments to former

Hilton Hawaiian Village guests in a $1.8 million class action

settlement over mold infestation that closed one of the hotel

towers.

The lawsuit alleged that Hilton did not disclose the presence of

mold contamination in the hotel's Kalia Tower guest rooms between

June 14 and July 23, 2002.

Hawaii Circuit Court Judge Eden Hifo approved an agreement that was

reached in December, meaning that guests who submit claims can now

begin receiving compensation, said attorney Grande.

About 2,900 guests from almost every state and many countries around

the world are eligible for payments or credits, according to lawyers

for the plaintiffs.

Under the agreement, Hilton will pay the guests either $150 in

travel coupons or $50 in cash for each night they spent at the

hotel.

What about the employees of the hotel? The people who had to be there every

day?
