Pro's: Clean, affordable, quiet, updated, comfortable bed, good water pressure, friendly staff. Con's: Coffee maker (makes weak coffee) Amenities were right across the street. Unless you book for bay view, expect really, no view. Great place to sleep. Recommendations: Replace coffee makers with single serve Keurig's

This was a last-minute booking during a busy holiday weekend, so we were honestly just happy to find a room available. I wasn’t expecting much, but I was pleasantly surprised. The hotel is directly across the street from the Lanai Kai Resort, and you get access to all the resort amenities, which was a huge plus. The room was clean, well kept, updated, and the bed was very comfortable. It wasn’t anything luxurious or fancy, but it had everything we needed for a great weekend stay. The location was probably the best part. We spent most of our time at the beach and walking around to nearby bars and restaurants. Everything was within walking distance, and we never had to move the car all weekend. If you’re looking for a clean, convenient, affordable place close to everything, this is a great option for a weekend getaway or staycation. I would definitely recommend it.
