Pros:

I have no problem with the management of this hotel, but I want people to understand what the property is so they’re not taken by surprise as I was. It’s a wood structure built in the 1960’s, according to a sign on the property. It’s two stories with no elevator. I’m in my 70’s and I had to carry a 50 pound suitcase up and down the stairs since I was assigned a second floor room and could not change it (receptionist said they were fully booked). The furnishings and decor in the room looked like a match to the quoted 1960’s age of the building. Everything was clean and neat, no problem there. But coming from a Hilton stay in Honolulu, I wasn’t prepared for what I got. My fault for not doing better research. I booked it as part of a package with the airfare. I only stayed one night, didn’t want to pay resort prices. Not sure Lihue has any middle ground between the resorts and this. If you don’t mind basic accommodation, you may be happy here. I’m just used to a step or two up from it.

Pros:

This place is so cute! The staff were very friendly. AC runs cold and the bed was comfortable. No issues with water pressure or hot water. There are several food options within walking distance. It is an older building and has its quirks but I wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again.

Pros:

This was booked for a single night close to the airport as arrived later. Picked a basic room and it was very dated as was the property. Plus sides - clean and comfortable bed. Walked to the car rental the next morning.

Pros:

No elevator. Stairs narrow and steep. Room is single occupancy only. Hotel advertised as resort quality but is actuality in the center of the capitol city in Kauai. As a visitor I will never return to this hotel.

Pros:

I didn't like anything. I think they put their own reviews in. Room was ok but it is noisy, people wandering around outside for no apparent reason and the AC unit (tiny window unit) wouldn't cool down the 500 sq ft room. We asked for early check in and they refused because room wasn't ready AC. $200+ wasted. Do not rent here.
