The room was spacious, clean, large mini fridge, plus microwave and sink. Bathroom was very nice and large. Full bath and shower. We were very impressed. Staff was informative and thorough. The bed was honestly the most comfortable bed we’ve slept on while away from home. We’ve stayed at in many high end hotels, and this was the best sleep by far. Mahalo.

nice stay, love the snacks they left for us, did not love that the 3 nights we were there room service did not show up or ask if we needed any towels or anything but for the most part very pleasant stay and convenient. Also thought it was a bit overpriced, $300 the night was a bit too much for not having pool and other amenities. Something i did love was the communication with the person i booked was pretty on point until the check in process, loved that texting was with fast response. Love the vintage old town feel… i would visit again! Overall pretty good experience.

A real find, close to the Waimea Canyon roads. An older motor court motel, welcoming and nicely updated. Clean, quiet, with balconies and great local advice. Wi-fi, small kitchen and keyless door lock you won't forget.

I was impressed. Check-in was quick and easy. I had a 2-bedroom suite. Nice and spacious. Everything was clean and well-kept, if not new. Kitchen was well-equipped. AC was nice and cold. Washer and dryer available downstairs. The unit was set back on the property so it was very private. Would definitely stay here again!

it fit my what I was looking for.. price and solitude. what I didn't like was the adjoining door. It allowed noise to be easily transmitted from the next room.

Waimea is a very quiet, laid back, "old school" country style town so you need to keep that in mind when creating expectations for a stay in this area. The property appeared to be well maintained and recently updated. Our room was clean, had a nice welcome basket and tiny kitchenette and worked well enough for just resting our heads. Rooms are cleaned only twice a week according to their directions but sadly no one came to clean our room on the designated day. We took out our own trash but didnt have clean towels after a few days which was disappointing. There are coin operated washers and dryers on property but be prepared with your own quarters. It costs $2 for each machine. Management was rarely on property when we were there but you could reach someone by phone if you needed to talk to someone. Our window a/c unit cooled our room just fine but it did take a few days to get used to the sound of it turning on and off in the middle of the night. There were several places to eat within walking distance amd two grocery stores also nearby. Overall, this place worked for our basic needs.

I like the good communication from the ordering of the reservation. Staff is very friendly, helpful and very knowledgable of the Island and surroundings. Room was clean, bed was comfortable, we liked the lenai to sit, feel the breeze and relax. the walk to the pier was very close and the gorgeous sunset was the best ive ever seen while standing on the pier. Great experience, we recommend this hotel for a comfortable close stay. Thanks again.

Cozy, clean, convenient, cute
The cozy room that my family and I stayed in came with 2 comfortable double beds, nice cold ac, free parking, big tv, kitchen with dishes, sink, and a microwave. I loved the location because we took a boat tour of the Na Pali Coast from the Kikiaola Boat Harbor located only a few minutes away. The Waimea Canyon was also conviniently located. This hotel is located in the cute town of Waimea. We were lucky enough to attend the Art Night in Hanapepe located in the next town, which occurs every Friday. When on vacation, we don't usually stay in resorts because we only use the room to wind down and get ready for our next adventure for the following day. So I have to mention that if you love hot steamy showers like me, be aware that AT NIGHT the water doesn't get really hot. It only gets warmat night. I know this because i also took a shower in the afternoon after the boat trip and the water got really hot, how I like it. Another detail I'd like to mention are the walls are thin. Our neighbors were blasting their music, but had the courtesy of turning it off before it got late. Other than that, if you like a cute cozy clean hotel in a cute town and convenient location next to the boat harbor and Waimea Canyon, then this is the hotel for you. It's not a resort and not a shabby motel. This hotel/ motel still exceeds expectations. I would definitely stay here again. Love it!!
