The staff made this experience for my daughter and I. They were very helpful when we needed them or just to give advice on what to do. Even though the hotel is older their hospitality was beyond 5/5 stars. I highly recommend this hotel! They had complimentary breakfast every morning, coffee 24/7, music almost every night, a movie night and you can easily rent things like towels and chairs.

We've been here before and returned because we like it's location, amenities (some extras), good room, staff, and price. It's like an upscale 70's motel but with good breakfast, use of free beach towels (and chairs & snorkel gear), and great location for visiting the Canyon, Poipu Beach (to see lots of green turtles & munk seals), and boat ride from Port Allen to see the Napali Coast and snorkel enroute - all IF you have a car!

The hotel was the first on the island built in the late 1800's. We liked it alot, most people would not like it because it is not fancy. But we loved it, very quiet and out if the way. We will definitely stay there again
