We had a late check in, the room was ok, the beds clean and comfortable. The shower had no hot water so freezing shower, and there was no breakfast. We left after 8 am and never saw anyone, not one employee, only one other guest also complained about the cold shower and was waiting for breakfast when we left.

I would recommend you look elsewhere. Unfortunately, I didn't read the reviews prior to booking this place. Read the reviews and find a accommodation that is far superior to this. For my military people Kileaua Military Camp is about the same cost and must more peaceful. I would recommend the the military camp and the cost is very similar! God speed in finding safe and reliable travel for this place needs to be condemned. The staff have no integrity. The photos are inaccurate.

windows does not close so insects comes and go, you can hear the planes, the cars. insects and frogs are okay but u can here people walking upstairs and people talking. Wall is paper thin. Shower water, no hot water and barely flows so u have to shower longer in cold water. just a beat up place . had to leave early because it looked unsafe. We tried calling the nymber but no answr. u can leave a msg but no one will call back. This place is straight up from a crime scene movie . I dont even understand why EXPEDIA has this on their list of places to stay. i was not expecting much but this is unimaginable.

There are enough parking spot for the hotel which is one of the good things, but the area around the hotel doesn’t look safe at all. The room conditions are not the same as shown in photos. In addition, there are windows but no curtains for them. If you really love nature, you can probably take this since the crickets were singing all night and they were really loud.

The beds are so bad. They feel like they are as old as the building. You can literally feel each spring poking out. Worst mattress I have ever tried to sleep on. There was no hot water in the shower even let it run hot only for 30 minutes then decided not to waste any more water and had an ice cold shower at 11 pm.
