Reviews and Ratings
The hotel has a stylish mid-century look in a great location next to many dining spots. The rooms, though not oriented for ocean views, were well-maintained and stylish. The service was very helpful and friendly, with complimentary amenities. The location, while close to various stores and restaurants, is a bit noisy in the mornings. The dining experience did not meet expectations for the price, and the hotel offers various facilities to enjoy during the stay.
The hotel had more wear and tear in the rooms than I would have liked. The service was hit or miss with a mix of helpful and not so great experiences. The location was convenient for exploring the area but lacked a bit of charm. Dining options were a bit of a hassle to navigate. Overall, an average stay with room for improvement.
Staying at the hotel was a relaxing experience. The modern rooms with clean lines and bright colors provided a peaceful retreat reminiscent of simpler times. The location allowed us to easily head north to Princeville after enjoying a familiar breakfast, making it a perfect stop to recover and unwind before our next adventure.
The hotel has amazing waterfront rooms with balconies, although some may overlook less desirable areas like the laundry room or parking lot. The temporary use of rooms for morning coffee may affect the experience. The location is central for exploring both the northern and western parts of Kauai, perfect for enjoying sunsets and sunrises on the beach.
The hotel has a beautiful beachy feel; the rooms are very clean and have everything one needs, although they are a bit basic. The location offers sweet waves, nice views, and the convenience of being central for exploring the rest of the island. The dining experience is highlighted by great Hawaiian-style fish tacos and reasonably priced delicious meals.
The hotel offers clean and comfortable rooms overlooking the parking lot, with friendly service, a good location near the beach, and a dining experience that is satisfactory but could be improved. The facilities are decent, and the value for money is reasonable.
Staying at this hotel felt like taking a step back in time to when life was less complicated. The ambiance was relaxing, but some areas like the rooms and hallways need refurbishment. The parking situation was a plus.
The hotel is in a convenient location, near various shops and restaurants, and offers a beautiful beach with great dining options. The rooms, while lacking in modern amenities and spaciousness, provide a relaxed stay with friendly service. Dining options could be improved, but the overall value for money is decent.
The hotel offers stylish mid-century look rooms that are well-maintained, with the only downside being the possibility of a view of the mountain instead of the ocean. Service is top-notch, except for a slightly grumpy concierge at times, and the location is central to exploring Kauai despite some noise disturbances. The dining options are acceptable but not exceptional, and the facilities are noteworthy for a pleasant stay.
My stay at the hotel was exceptional. The rooms were spacious, bright, and impeccably clean with a convenient mini-fridge. The service was top-notch, with attentive staff constantly ensuring everything was perfect. The location was simply unbeatable, offering beautiful views and direct access to the beach. However, the dining experience left much to be desired with some ordering difficulties, and the facilities could use some improvement.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and the bed was comfy, but there was no mountain view and our room wasn't made up one day. The small room could benefit from more dresser space. The service varied from very friendly to not very motivated. The location was great for dining spots with easy access to explore the island, but there wasn't much to see around the hotel. The dining experience had its faults. The facilities were decent overall.
Upon arrival, I noticed a bit of a musty smell in the room, which unfortunately is common in tropical locations. The room size was perfect and impeccably clean, although the 'ocean view' room did not face the ocean. The hotel's location is great for exploring the island, and the beach proximity added to the comfort of my stay. The dining experience had its drawbacks but was reasonably priced and delicious overall.
