Perfect hotel for Kalalau hikers
This hotel is perfect they stored our bags while we hiked the Kalalau trail, also they have lots of propane from previous hikers, call them to ask to hold one for you in you don't have time to shop before your trip.

Nice place to stay for a night or two.
We stayed here for one night before going to our timeshare. The staff in the office are super nice - family run think. We were placed in a room that had a horrible view of a lot next door with a lot of trash - rugs, etc. The room was really small. II know I booked a room with City view but this was not what I expected. The bed and sheets were awesome and they offered free bikes to ride. Overall, I would stay again but would probably pay more for a room that was in the other building facing the water.

Family run hotel, and they were very hospitable. Nice extras, like free bikes to borrow and movies that were made in Kauai to borrow (Sharktopus, anyone?). Clean, well maintained facilities and pool. Room was very comfortable. Would definitely come again.

This hotel was much better than expected. The room looked nicer in person than in the pictures online and the bed was very comfortable. The ocean view was lovely. The grounds were beautiful with direct access to a terrific walking and biking path. This was a very nice place for a one night stay as we navigated around the island.
