A surprising gem of a find.

Not to be confused with the WESTIN hotel chain, this small hotel is the only hotel we could find on the far west end of the island close to the canyons and boat excursions to avoid an early morning drive from the 'big" city. We were pleasantly surprised to find this gem with new/ remodeled rooms, clean, good ac. Would recommend this for those wanting to be close to Napoli and canyon tours.

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.
