This is a basic accommodation for a budget traveler. It was clean and fine for us. The fact that the cafe was a local favorite increased the rating. Its proximity to the airport and primary roadways also was a plus.

Excellent value for money. Not a resort experience, but for the price it is worth it. If you are looking to spend most of your time outdoors as you should in Kauai, and just need a place to rest at night and good breakfast to start the day, this is your place. No frills that you pay for and don't use

Great location, however there was no hair dryer (I had to buy one from Walmart down the street). Check-in time is from 3pm and onwards, but front desk is only open 7am to 2pm. So basically if you run into any non-emergency) issues after checking in, you have to wait until the next morning to resolve it.

Great for one night after arriving on a late flight from the mainland. Easy key code access and a great place for breakfast the next morning (closed on Mondays). Very basic but perfect for our needs.

We really liked the central location to the town and airport. Easy access to the restaurant for breakfast. The internet was a little slow but so was data access on Tmobile. Often switching to LTE. So it is what it is. Area was older, hotel buildings also, but honestly that is what we were expecting. It is Kauai after all. The price was one of the better ones out there when not looking to go to a resort or pay resort prices. We would go back not expecting it to change much. That being the appeal for us.
