Such a fun little spot!! Right on the beach so we got to watch the sunrise every morning, it was so beautiful! Loved the pool, there was never anyone using it so we got it all to ourselves every time we went. Service was great and check in was super easy. Would definitely stay here again!
OLDER BUT WELL MAINTANIED. GREAT HOTEL. OCEAN VIEW ROOMS HAVE SPECTACULAR VIEW.
WALKING TRAIL GOES IN FRONT OF HOTEL ALONG THE BEACH FOR MILES. STAFF VERY FRIENDLY AND HELPFUL.
Front desk lady were very nice and helpful.
I got a nice ocean front room. It was a bit old but clean.
Nice surroundings and very close to a lot of stores, bicycle trail, restaurants and food trucks.
Complementary bicycles and free parking were nice.
I felt like i got more free ammenities (towels, bicycle and parking) and better service than the Hilton Garden Inn we stayed after.

Disliked: Amenities
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.
Was a great stay. Right across from beach with wonderful views. A little outdated however part of the charm. Wonderful and friendly staff.

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.
I was upgraded by the property Boss who’s helping coz of short staff . He is so nice and helpful

Some good, some not
View and access to walking path are great. Pool area is nice. Microwave only cooking option. Refrigerator very small and tiny freezer area frozen over. Had to go to front desk to obtain silverware and hair dryer. Room interior shows wear.
