The hotel has a great location on the water with a small accessible beach and ready access to a nice walking/biking path. However, the room we stayed in had a strong odor of sewage, had a fan that only worked if the lights were on and the a/c unit did not work. We had a nice balcony and left the door open to air out the place; only problem is at night we had to close the door to avoid the bugs. By the time we realized the extent of the issue it was too late and when I reported on check out I got the sense that this was not a new complaint. It would be great place but desperately needs some renovations/TLC.
Such beautiful grounds, lovely working family that makes it such a great place. The ocean view was spectacular and affordable. The pool was clean, beautiful and private. We had an ocean view from the pool. Great walking path right outside and the food trucks were spectacular
Staff was amazing. Banana bread was tasty and moist. Beach is right in front of your room. You absolutely cannot do better if you come for the beach. Center of Kappa in town and 15 min away from the airport. Clean, serviceable and just down to earth. Mahalo
Room needed a good cleaning, the mirror hadn't been properly cleaned and the lamps were sticky. TV didn't work, no one cared enough to come and fix it. On the other hand, the ocean was right outside for great views of sunrise and the walking path along the shore was right there.

Staff was great, pool was awesome, view was amazing. Very convenient to everything in town. Room could use some work. Panel was falling off tub and turned from jet into regular by patching over jets. Larger tv. Needed updating, paint in rooms and balcony. Ice maker was out for 3 days. Sheets had patches on them.

Wonderful people, great location and perfect views of the sunrise.
We stayed for two nights and would have loved to stay longer. The morning sunrises from the balcony were incredible. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean and spacious for us. Being close to many of KaPaa's shops and restaurants was great amenity.
The hotel is close enough to the ocean to listen to the waves from your room. The room is clean enough for me, not spotless. There isn't much to do in Kapa'a so rent a car unless you like very long bike rides. The staff was very friendly, even sharing their sweets with me but I didnt enjoy the bible lesson at the end.. Overall nice hotel
Great Staff. Clean room . comfortable bed. Plenty Parking.
THE VIEW: AWESOME. Quiet location near many good restaurants. Walking path just outside room. They have a restaurant for breakfast. The pool is clean and relaxing. Nice balcony to enjoy those incredible sun sets and sun rises. Worth a return trip.

The bathroom was in need of a makeover. It was very old and showing signs of wear
I have stayed in multiple locations in Kauai and this place is my favorite for having the stunning view from our gigantic lanai, great small usable beach rite in front of hotel and the amazing convenience to anything you need you need
Great place🤙🤙🤙✌️✌️✌️
Nice oceanfront room, beautiful gardens & pool. The family running it was so nice, helpful, and sweet. Tutu even offered us banana bread. Will stay again!
Amazingly kind staff who went out of their way to make the stay memorable

The room was in dire need of renovation and the aircon didn't work that well. It also smelt of weed when we first entered. My fiancee didn't enjoy being there over Christmas.
That said, it was a great price and good position, right on the beach and a good base to travel to and from. Parking was easy and it has laundry facilities. The staff were super friendly and you could use their coral safe sunscreen if needed.
I think the other rooms in the opposite side of the hotel were probably a lot nicer than ours. This was probably my fault as i booked the room in just my name a year earlier, if both our names had been on the reservation we may have had a better room.
If I had been on my own I would have been fine, as I was only using it to sleep as I enjoyed Kauai.
