The hotel has a great location on the water with a small accessible beach and ready access to a nice walking/biking path. However, the room we stayed in had a strong odor of sewage, had a fan that only worked if the lights were on and the a/c unit did not work. We had a nice balcony and left the door open to air out the place; only problem is at night we had to close the door to avoid the bugs. By the time we realized the extent of the issue it was too late and when I reported on check out I got the sense that this was not a new complaint. It would be great place but desperately needs some renovations/TLC.

Room needed a good cleaning, the mirror hadn't been properly cleaned and the lamps were sticky. TV didn't work, no one cared enough to come and fix it. On the other hand, the ocean was right outside for great views of sunrise and the walking path along the shore was right there.

The hotel is close enough to the ocean to listen to the waves from your room. The room is clean enough for me, not spotless. There isn't much to do in Kapa'a so rent a car unless you like very long bike rides. The staff was very friendly, even sharing their sweets with me but I didnt enjoy the bible lesson at the end.. Overall nice hotel

The room was in dire need of renovation and the aircon didn't work that well. It also smelt of weed when we first entered. My fiancee didn't enjoy being there over Christmas. That said, it was a great price and good position, right on the beach and a good base to travel to and from. Parking was easy and it has laundry facilities. The staff were super friendly and you could use their coral safe sunscreen if needed. I think the other rooms in the opposite side of the hotel were probably a lot nicer than ours. This was probably my fault as i booked the room in just my name a year earlier, if both our names had been on the reservation we may have had a better room. If I had been on my own I would have been fine, as I was only using it to sleep as I enjoyed Kauai.
