Everything is dated but clean. The worst thing is not the property itself but the traffic. Other than very early in the morning, it is impossible to make a left turn to exit the property. You have to make a right turn, find a place to make a left turn to get on the other side of the road and then head in the desired direction. The staff is friendly and helpful.

Carpet was very dirty to the point we would not take our shoes off. Property was very tired and needing over all maintenance. Bed was so uncomfortable and had to be over ten years old.

Basic accommodations in a central area of Kapaa makes a good home base for your Kauai adventure. Friendly, family owned feel. Free chairs and beach equipment. Affordable prices!

We extended our stay sort of last minute for 1 night so we were limited on options, after reading previous reviews we picked this hotel. It worked for what we needed, somewhere to sleep for our last night in Kauai…but I wouldn’t stay here again. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, but the room could definitely use some updating…especially the shower/bathtub. Also, while this hotel is right on the beach, it is also right on the main road that has pretty much continuous cars all night.

Property was well maintained, but a bit dated. The individual units could use some deeper cleaning. Oceanside view was beautiful, staff was super pleasant…I would definitely stay there again for a day or two.

We needed an additional night outside of our regular accommodations. This was the most affordable option. We were pleasantly surprised by its proximity to the beach and Kapa’a. Definitely an older property, but a decent place to stay for a night. Staff were very welcoming and happy to help.

I got a room with city view. Rusty bathtub should have been recycled many years ago. Coffee maker is rusted too. There is no desk or chair. Felt more.like a motel.

What a wonderful, cute island hotel. Staff was friendly, helpful, and welcoming. Homemade banana bread warmed the office! Location was practically on the beach, across from great food and coffee places, and right off the walking path through town. The amenities are perfect. Pool with a waterfall, bikes, beach chairs, movies, and much more! Facilities could use a cosmetic update (repaint, carpet cleaned) and a good dusting (fan blades, AC unit, behind furniture, & outlets) but the bed was clean and comfy. Bathrooms were cleaned and well stocked. Parking lot was easy peasy to get too. Will be coming back, no doubt.

After checking in after a long flight, we noticed the bathroom sink drain stopper was broken - I had to remove it, then the next morning when going to take a shower, I noticed the tub had mold and rust, and that drain was clogged and draining slowly. I reported this to the front desk and the only response I got was that they would inform their maintenance person. Again I communicated to the hotel about the issue and received no response. The hotel’s location is ideal but the room I had was sinful. Be advised

After noticing this beach hotel 10 years ago while walking the Kauai Beach Path, I knew I wanted to stay there someday. It is so cute and the people in the office are like family. Grandma bakes banana bread; a kid and a dog came to hang out during their desk shift. The king bed is amazingly comfortable and the sheets are thin but feel silky soft. The commonly used surfaces in the room were clean, but the baseboards and behind/under things really needed a deep clean. I would come back, especially for the location. It's convenient to the Kapa'a Neighborhood Center for yoga and Zumba, with a free county pool right there. Great coffee and meal options walking distance.

Pg ROS: -very close to the water -it had a functioning a/c unit -there is an awesome multiuse path that goes for miles in both directions that cuts through this property CONS: -this is an old, tired property. It needs a lot of TLC to restore it to its former glory -the area seems to attract lots of street folks -the bed is uncomfortable -cleanliness is less than desirable
