Beautiful view right next to the water. We even saw dolpins in the distance. Loved being in Kapa'a and close to walking to other places to grab food from. Being able to borrow bikes to ride on the bike path was awesome as well. The hotel had a great homey vibe to it that I loved. Everyone working there was super nice and down to earth too. I really enjoyed my time here. As long as you're not looking for a super fancy place to stay, I think this is an awesome place to stay for a good trip in Kauai. The pool is awesome as well. I truly enjoyed my time here and would stay here again in the future. Even better in person in my opinion.

The hotel has a great location on the water with a small accessible beach and ready access to a nice walking/biking path. However, the room we stayed in had a strong odor of sewage, had a fan that only worked if the lights were on and the a/c unit did not work. We had a nice balcony and left the door open to air out the place; only problem is at night we had to close the door to avoid the bugs. By the time we realized the extent of the issue it was too late and when I reported on check out I got the sense that this was not a new complaint. It would be great place but desperately needs some renovations/TLC.

Room needed a good cleaning, the mirror hadn't been properly cleaned and the lamps were sticky. TV didn't work, no one cared enough to come and fix it. On the other hand, the ocean was right outside for great views of sunrise and the walking path along the shore was right there.

We stayed for two nights and would have loved to stay longer. The morning sunrises from the balcony were incredible. The staff was helpful and friendly. The room was clean and spacious for us. Being close to many of KaPaa's shops and restaurants was great amenity.

The hotel is close enough to the ocean to listen to the waves from your room. The room is clean enough for me, not spotless. There isn't much to do in Kapa'a so rent a car unless you like very long bike rides. The staff was very friendly, even sharing their sweets with me but I didnt enjoy the bible lesson at the end.. Overall nice hotel
