Less busy area, which was nice to get away from the crowds. Comfy clean king bed. Limited hot water in the shower all three days. Convenient water and ice-filling station in the lobby. Loved the ability to rent cruiser bikes. The room and lobby were simple. The view and balcony from the one-bedroom was not as great/comfortable as pictures make it out to be. No direct access to the beach from the property, though the area isn't really swimmable there.

Great location right on the ocean. Stayed in the older section above the restaurant which was fine however they have music every night from 7 to 8:30. which reverberated up through the room. The food and service at the restaurant, "The Bull Shed" was excellent. Grounds were maintained beautifully.

It was a property that could use some refurbishment. Of course it is overpriced, but everything is in Hawaii. The pool was clean and access to the property was convenient with a stoplight at the main intersection. Staff was very helpful. Breakfast was a joke. The coffee maker in the room didn’t make the coffee very hot, which was disappointing. Oh well. It was a decent place to stay. Not a high end resort. A place to sleep.

The hotel has a few positives, starting with its peaceful atmosphere, great location, stunning views from the pool area, and a decent restaurant. However, that’s where the good points end. The rooms are outdated, with what’s advertised as an oceanfront view being only a partial ocean view. The staff are unwelcoming, the grab-and-go breakfast is disappointing, and the beds are extremely uncomfortable. While the rooms were clean, everything inside felt old and rusty, making it difficult to find anything positive to say about them. Overall, the hotel deserves five stars for its quiet and relaxing environment but zero stars for everything else, including the basic amenities expected from a hotel. If it were advertised as a motel, the rating might be more appropriate.

Great property.

We really enjoyed our stay at the ISO. The hotel met our needs for our 4 night stay. It is centrally situated so it was easy to explore. Clean rooms, comfortable bed and super friendly staff. Good dinner restaurant on property. Good selection of continental breakfast foods. Amazing sunrises! We would stay again if we come back to Kauai.
