It’s a no-frills motel that serves its purpose. Cannot recommend their cafe enough!

The stay was good and the room was good and clean and was well maintained. The only concern was the price paid almost $200 per night for a motel room (the room and bathroom size is small).

We had a great stay - everything is as described. The room was clean and beds were comfy. The room is small but we didn't need anything but a place to sleep - it was perfect.

It was easy check in. The rooms were well maintained. The entire room was clean and they had maintained it well. Our room had AC and TV. The washroom was big and neat. The only downside was no kettle, microwave or any other appliances or plates for us to eat. The only option is motel.

We chose this motel for its location near the airport (1 mi) and reasonable price compared to the fancy re$orts! Its very functional except lacks a microwave or any way to heat beverages (cafe is totally closed- it’s Christmas) Theres a convenient Texaco station a few blocks away for coffee & snacks.

There was a used wash rag left in the shower and room was clearly not very clean. The cafe and office were closed the whole visit.

Location is very convenient. Bathroom shower smelled liked mildew and mold. The bed was very squeaky and blankets were super thin and didn’t smell clean. TV kind of smaller than expected but still working. The phone plugs on the lamp did not work. It was ok. However service was great and staff are very friendly and helpful. Access to check in was very easy. Very simple and basic.

The best thing is it’s very close to the airport if you’re getting into Kauai late. Very minimal space, supplies. (Not even a hand towel… only two towels and wash cloths) No coffee pot . Smoke alarm was laying on a shelf. When I reported it because I thought they’d want to know, the response was “yeah we took it down” WHAT!!! Would not stay there again.

Rooms were clean but beds were horrendous. So uncomfortable! Very sparse rooms with no features or accommodations beyond the terrible beds. Restaurant was okay with excellent service, too bad the motel isn’t at the same level. For the price, there should be a coffee pot, a microwave (forced us to use the restaurant). We had to walk to 7-11 to get coffee in the morning. Bring a surge protector or muti plug adapter as there aren’t extra outlets for your devices. Motel 6 or Super 8 has this place beat!

Perfect for when you are in a budget but didn’t compromise convenience and the quality of stay. It’s a plus to have a restaurant just down below your building.
