Pool area was wonderful and so was peacefulness. Beds and sheets were super comfy. Towels were very nice. Bathrooms were very dated but everything functional. Nothing fancy but we loved the quiet location

Felt like home :)

This is an older establishment but maintained well. It is close to the Lihue airport so convenient. Staff are hospitable and friendly. The views of the mountains from the property are wonderful. Bed & room were very comfortable and spacious for 2 people. The in-unit AC cooled the room nicely. Bathtub cold be recoated but worked fine. Linens smelled good. The breakfast buffet is a very good continental one- complete with Chobani yogurt, croissants, & whole pieces of local fruits. Peacocks, roosters, & cats roam around the property, which was fun :) Very comfortable stay!

Great place, super knowledgeable and friendly staff. Just get ready for the chickens to wake you before daylight. The hotel will provide ear plugs but I just turn on the air conditioner for some white noise.
