The view of the ocean is really great. Staff were helpful. Down side is we rented a full kitchen room. Really would have been nice to have Linen for the kitchen. Also would have been nice to have a broom to clean up from cooking.

Rooms are old and noise. Stuff refused to move us to a different room and was quite rude. All they said is move to another hotel. Where can we find another hotel at night?

Family run hotel, and they were very hospitable. Nice extras, like free bikes to borrow and movies that were made in Kauai to borrow (Sharktopus, anyone?). Clean, well maintained facilities and pool. Room was very comfortable. Would definitely come again.

This hotel was much better than expected. The room looked nicer in person than in the pictures online and the bed was very comfortable. The ocean view was lovely. The grounds were beautiful with direct access to a terrific walking and biking path. This was a very nice place for a one night stay as we navigated around the island.

We really enjoyed our stay here. They have bikes you can use, beach chairs and beach towels. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The building is a bit old, as is the carpet. It could use some cleaning. There was a bit of mold above the air conditioner and the frig needed defrosting. But it is good value for the money and the location is great.
