Staff very friendly, clean well decorated room. Quiet as there was very little road noise, just some roosters (as nearly everywhere in Hawaii). The main drawback was an insufficiently dark room at night thanks to greatly excessive outdoor lighting in front combined with slatted blinds that were far from light tight. Reduced lighting by 50% or more (preferable as someone who supports dark skies) or put room darkening blinds in the front.
The studio apartment was a charming place conveniently located close to many amenities (cafes, groceries, restaurants, etcetera). The staff was very friendly and eager to help. Waimea was our base to explore other areas such as Pololu valley, Hawi and others. The manager was very helpful in providing local information of good restaurants around all the multiple areas we visited. It was always good to have an insiders' point of view. Thank you!
We stay here often. No frills, but the rooms are comfortable and staff is helpful and friendly. Just due to rural location, WiFi is weak in case you need to do business, not the best connection. Also, water pressure is slight again likely rural living. Otherwise, very comfortable.

Lots of things nearby that are walkable. Was perfect for my family and I’s short stay.
Got off on the wrong foot when they said there was a $35 early check in fee. We were 20 minutes early. She ended up letting us in though. The room was very nice and quite large but the floor was dirty. TV was frustrating. We usually sit outside most of the time but nights were chilly. Town was a disappointment. We expected kind of quaint but its not at all. But grocery store was good and easy to walk to. I thought our room had a stove top but it didn’t. Kitchen was a little sparsely furnished. No hair dryer. Overall it was a nice place but I wouldn’t stay there again.
