The hotel is worth your money
The hotel gives reasonable prices considering its proximity to the airport. Guests can catch a flight at the Lihue Airport just a few minutes' drive from the hotel. The restaurant is fairly priced and offers its visitors a good selection of drinks and food.

The rooms are clean and the beds very comfortable

Negative Reviews
negative:
Very small bathrooms and inadequate hot water
Some guests were put off by the very little hot water that was available. During the hotel's peak activity hours, such as in the early morning, hot water ran out very quickly. The showering area is also quite small and difficult to manoeuvre easily in.
negative:
Poor sound insulation throughout the hotel
Many guests complained about the thin walls. It was noted that noise carried easily from room to room and this was a key problem especially for those who had to get up early in the morning and couldn't fall asleep.
negative:
The AC in some rooms is noisy
Some guests have expressed their frustrations with the air conditioning units in the rooms. Common complaints were with regard to the inability to maintain a constant temperature and also the loud noise produced while they were running.
