Stayed with family. It’s a good way to save money if you are just looking for a place to lay your head and spend most of your day out adventuring. Staff were nice. Place was clean.

It was a close to the airport and cheaper than most places and has everything you need! Felt clean. Had a lovely stay. We even left something and they made sure we got it back!

The clerk checked me in very quickly and then personally walked me out to show me where to park … and how to get there (an alley and one way streets are involved). Real Aloha spirit!

Such a quaint property. We have stayed before and they continue to enhance. This time additional plants in the garden. Just beautiful. Rooms are smaller, but space is utilized very well.

For the price you pay this is a STEAL. The staff was super nice and helpful, really made us feel welcomed. They have boogie board, chairs and even sunscreen available to use. They have a huge area where you can get some coffee and ice. everything is complimentary. The kitchenet had everything you needed. The bedding was clean, and bed was super comfy. The only con we noticed was blood on the fridge and kitchen sink/area. Nothing crazy though since I work in the medical field it didn't make me turned off. LOL....I would stay here again and recommend to anyone staying. You also can't skip out on the Kauia Diner walking distance from the hotel. They have the best MOCO LOCO!!

Absolutely loved staying here! I was here for 4 nights mostly to sleep. During the day I was out hiking around the island. Location is perfect because it's about halfway point on the island. Bed was comfy, it all felt private and safe, the staff was SO friendly and it was spotlessly clean. Parking was also easy. This is probably one of the best value stays on the island. I was expecting a rundown motel vibe but it's the opposite. It felt renovated, clean and with modern touches. If you're looking for a place to rest while you explore the beauty of this island rather than sit at a pool all day then stay here!!

A little basic, but fine for a room and shower.

I only needed the room for one night, so I didn't stay there long. It was fine for just a bed and a shower, but the bathroom was really small. Also, there is no elevator, so you may need to carry your luggage up a flight of stairs. Parking was hard to find when I arrived at 9 pm, but there were signs that parking was available behind the building.

Book at your own risk -- they bait and switch your booking. I booked a Deluxe Studio. The listing included a kitchenette and kitchenettes are featured widely in the photos of the property. When I arrived, my room did not have a kitchenette. It did not even have a coffee maker, and the mini fridge barely worked. I emailed the property to find a solution and they ignored my email. Upon check out I brought it up to the person at the front desk and she told me that "not all deluxe studios have kitchenettes". So despite me booking the correct room tier, they just chose not to give me the correct room. Basically they falsely advertised the accomodations.

It was adequate for one night and near the airport. A very small room, not what I was expecting from the pictures.
