The hotel started 1916. Location near to Lihue airport is a plus. Condition is run down in the exterior but makes up for it with newly fixed up rooms. Clean.

Voor dit eiland een van de goedkopere opties, alnog eigenijk te duur voor de "kwaiteit" die je krijgt. Op zich schone kamer, alleen werkte de kraan in de badkamer niet waardoor we voor water telkens onder de douche moesten zijn. Er hingen ook wat vage figuren rond de accomodatie waardoor we ons niet helemaal veilig voelden. Dit was wellicht onnodig, er is in ieder geval niets voorgevallen. Ook een kakkerlak op de kamer gehad, maar dat is met het vochtige weer op een eiland wellicht ook niet goed te voorkomen. Als je de airco aanhebt kun je elkaar bijna niet verstaan, maar zonder wordt het erg benauwd. Een ventilator boven het bed zou een fijne toevoeging zijn.

Great experience upon arrival and departure. Clean room, quiet area, very peaceful. Place is old, but very well maintained. Excellent value for price paid. Great parking, very safe and quiet.

You're review should actually indicate an N/A because I did not see any staff the 3 nights/4 days I was at the motel. No ice machine. No vending machine.

The hotel is awesome and clean and the check in process was so smooth with an agent checking with me to make sure I had the room number and entry code. The neighborhood seems a little sketchy with scary looking people in the parking lot but I can’t blame that on the motel! And the price of the room was very good. Overall super stoked with the motel room!
