The hotel was right on the ocean which is a plus because we spent most of our time on the beach. The hotel itself was horrible. The fact that it was run down doesn’t bother me as much as the fact that it was infested with sugar ants, we found dead cockroaches in our room, and the walls are so thin that you might as well be sharing a room with people next door to you. Our kids had the room next to us and ended up having to move because their room started smelling like the sewage was backing up. Gigantic bees (or bee like insects) have made the outside railings their home. You can watch them fly in and out of holes they have made in the banisters which makes you wonder just how sturdy they really are if they are hollowed out by these bugs. The staff were friendly and accommodating but I wouldn’t stay here again.

I was not happy that I had booked a king size bed and when I arrived they didn't have one for me. After complaining they upgraded us to a kingsize.

Mahalo for sharing your feedback! We are very sorry that we were not able to fulfill your king bed request at first. Bedding is based on request at the Inn, meaning the room can come with either a king bed or two doubles. We do our best to fulfill all requests, but sometimes we do not have the availability to do so. We are happy that we were able to find a happy solution for your stay. We hope that you had a beautiful time staying with us and will keep us in mind in the future!

Disgusting mold and mildew smell as soon as we opened door to room, not renovated. Bugs crawling all over bathroom sink. We had them move our room, 2nd room did not smell but still full of bugs. Front desk manager refused to refund room because we booked through travelocity, and did not even care about the condition of the rooms or our complaints. He did not offer anything to compensate us for our bad experience. We will never stay here again.

Thank you for your review. We are very sorry that you had a negative experience with us. We are an older property, but we keep all rooms clean and comfortable for our guests. We apologize that your room was not up to our usual standards. We spray for bugs regularly, but some can slip by. Unfortunately we cannot offer refunds when a guest books through a third party because we do not collect your payment, the third party collects payment. We will share your feedback with our team.

Great view. Should warn guest of location to the Luau Show. Spacious room with nice beds. Bath needs updating and cleaning!! Counters, mirrors, shower, floors and refrigerator were filthy dirty! Then the ceiling in the shower came crashing down because of a water leak in the ac condensation tank. The building needs to be renovated!!!’ Should have a small microwave too. Daily cleaning and dirty towel replacement very sketchy. The old rooms are not cheap. Don’t feel that a $60 parking credit was enough compensation for a $2300 4 night charge. Won’t do that again.

Comfortable with a nice view

Pros: Room & beach were both very nice
Cons: Customer service
Location: It is located at a resort with a wonderful beach/ pool area. Close to shopping and restaurants.
Booked through Travelocity, requested king room, none were available. So that was disappointing. Check in took a very long time, the front desk person didn't seem to know what she was doing, couldn't find my reservation for over 10 minutes. She never asked my name only for id & she was searching under my first name instead of last, with my id in her hand! The room was very comfortable, clean and nice bathroom. We booked lower end but still had a wonderful view from the lanai. Beach/pool area was very nice. Bartender at outside bar was great! Inside bar, not so much, I was there for about 15 minutes but was never acknowledged by either bartender. They were busy, but both walked by me several times without so much as an "I'll be right with you." A third bartender, Eric, served me almost right away when he got there.
