The property is cozy and nice.
The road to the town is under repair and won’t be ready for a few months. The only way to get to the property is around the town where the road is not very great.

What a great place and staff. I feel lucky to have found this great inn. We met the nicest people, had live music by the pool in the evening and a great continental breakfast before departing the next morning.

Convenient for what we needed
The hotel was clean, comfortable, and in a convenient location. One thing to be aware of is that there’s a public park behind the property where some people seem to be living, using the bathroom as wash house. It didn’t directly affect my stay, but it might be something to consider depending on your comfort

It’s a very chill laid back stay, the staff was excellent. It’s not going to blow you away with beachfront views or an exquisite restaurant, but the rooms are clean, they provide a good breakfast, and it’s close to the airport

Lovely Stay
Requested early check in and they were able to accommodate us. Took and stored our bags for a short time prior. Very laid back, comfortable and felt the Hawaiian O’hana vibe!
