Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
We booked three rooms for six adults. Two of the three rooms had bed bugs. We immediately fled to another hotel. Even if there had been no infestation problems, the rooms were cramped and had no AC.
For being over 100 years old, it's exactly what you'd expect. She's old but has so much charm. The room and bathroom was clean, and met our expectations. The fans and no AC was okay with us. The breakfast was nice too!
Sheets was on stained blanket, with no sheets under and no bedspread. No hot water. Curtain was torn and couldn't close. Noisy frogs. They said I wouldn't be charged after we left.

Hard to describe, it was rundown but so nostalgic. For the price we have no complaints. Clean & bed was comfy.
No TV, no AC. Mosquitoes, frogs, pests all over. Floor is extremely dirty. No one should live here.
Shower leaks to lower floor and inside shower wall is full of water.
This place is old and has lots of flavor. She is a 114 year old hotel. The floors aren't level, but her age shows us that uneven floors are cool! We will be back!
There are pests everywhere. No Ac and ripped window screens. No TV. When I was taking a shower it leaked to the room below. Frogs are jumping around . I poked a small whole on the wall and was shocked to see the wall behind was full of water.
The floors are dirty and its location next to the highway makes it noisy all night. There is NO TV or AC.
This is a terrible place.
The accommodation was comfortable with a nice little breakfast offered also. Unfortunately the wifi didn't work in the downstairs room I was in but worked fine up in the lobby area.
This hotel was very quaint! As expected for an older hotel no ac and no tv but that was no problem. Hot water in the shower takes a little time to heat but I don’t think anyone would want to take a hot shower in an already warm room. Ceiling fan worked great in keeping cool during the night. Room was clean and maintained throughout the stay. Staff was lovely and very helpful. Would definitely recommend for a more down to earth experience in Hawai’i.
