The room was clean but the property had clutter that needed to be cleaned up. My room had no issues, had no ocean view, the park and ocean view are a block away. I cooked on the barbeque and used the pavilion, that was great. The beach near the hotel has cloudy water from the river, a few miles down the road are perfect beaches.

A very comfortable stay, clean and walking distance to food places and coffee. Management always responded quickly with information about setting up our stay. Shannon texted us with clear instructions how to access our room since we arrived late at night. Wonderful stay and will highly recommend to our friends and family.

Access to our room was easy. The room is clean and comfortable. The location is good and near restaurants and the public pier. There is a lanai with tables and chairs for dining and a view of a small horse ranch bordered by the ocean.

Very good, friendly and courteous communication. For example, problems with the credit card and the request for a late independent check-in were solved quickly and easily by the great staff. Apart from that, the accommodation is perfectly located for trips to Waimea Canyon. Everything was very clean and nicely prepared. We would gladly stay again.

A surprising gem of a find.

Not to be confused with the WESTIN hotel chain, this small hotel is the only hotel we could find on the far west end of the island close to the canyons and boat excursions to avoid an early morning drive from the 'big" city. We were pleasantly surprised to find this gem with new/ remodeled rooms, clean, good ac. Would recommend this for those wanting to be close to Napoli and canyon tours.

Good short stay!

It was a nice one night stay! Room was spacious and it had a comfy bed and it was clean! The booking was bit of a hassle though. It was frustrating that I had to give all the possible documents beforehand via email/WA and still they asked them again at the motel. And it's not too handy that the check in is only between 3-6 pm.

The room was spacious, clean, large mini fridge, plus microwave and sink. Bathroom was very nice and large. Full bath and shower. We were very impressed. Staff was informative and thorough. The bed was honestly the most comfortable bed we’ve slept on while away from home. We’ve stayed at in many high end hotels, and this was the best sleep by far. Mahalo.

Ok for what I paid, decor need to be revamp /patio table served as dinnette table ...needed some type of chair/couch or something other than the bed to sit in the room. Patio was good fit. Hotel contact and direct text messages on point.

nice stay, love the snacks they left for us, did not love that the 3 nights we were there room service did not show up or ask if we needed any towels or anything but for the most part very pleasant stay and convenient. Also thought it was a bit overpriced, $300 the night was a bit too much for not having pool and other amenities. Something i did love was the communication with the person i booked was pretty on point until the check in process, loved that texting was with fast response. Love the vintage old town feel… i would visit again! Overall pretty good experience.

Location good. Quiet area. Restaurants and food store nearby. Hotel clean and in good condition. There is an ocean view, however, from a distance. Communication for check-in and office is good. There is no housekeeping but you can get clean towels. Really enjoyed sitting on the porch listening to ocean waves, watching sunsets, and various birds and chickens in area.
