We stayed for a week in an ocean view apartment. Whether or not you like this hotel will depend on a couple of things so here is the good and the bad.
Good: location. It's in walking distance of Kapa'a and there is a nice walkway that spans quite a distance. The hotel has free bikes, a small pool, and and a small beach front. You can book a massage on the beach for extra. The view is lovely. Also, Kapa'a is fairly central to most of the island. The staff at the hotel are very friendly and accommodating. There is a small walk up restaurant for breakfast at the hotel.
The bad:
The room was very adequate but the carpet had lots of water stains. There is a fridge but no kitchen so don't plan to cook here. There is a nice soaking tub but no grab bars. Very nice balcony though. You have to request housekeeping but they do a great job when requested. The traffic in front of the hotel is pretty busy, but parking was never a problem.
Over all, we would stay again. Not an all-inclusive place by any means and not a resort feel. But a good place to stay if you plan to drive the island each day.

On the water and a great place if you want space and support locals.
The property was in a wonderful location right by the beach. The staff was nice but the property older, a little run down, and overpriced. I was looking forward to the free bicycle use but they were in pretty bad shape.
The people running the property were wonderful and very friendly. Hotel has beach towels, and chairs to borrow. And bikes you can use. They had home made banana bread in the lobby almost every day. View from the room was amazing. Room was pretty quiet. The rosters that were everywhere on the island are kind of loud starting around 5am, not the hotels fault it's a Hawaii thing, they can be kind of a nuisance.

Great location. AC died & no support. Unfortunate!
Overall the property was in a great location and a nice room. My issue is that my AC stopped working mid through the first night. I woke up with this issue in a steaming hot room. I called the front desk before heading out for the day and they said they would send someone right away. I returned to the room that evening around 11pm and couldn’t get ahold of anyone on the phone and had to sleep a second night with no AC but was at least able to open the door before going to sleep. The next morning I have to leave for the airport at 6am and there wasn’t anyone to talk to about the issue and I never heard a word from anyone.
Location was amazing! The view from the room and the pool were great. The ladies that worked front desk were very nice and welcoming. The rooms could have been cleaner and the beds could have been more comfortable but overall would gladly stay again!
Just right for us. In the relaxed Kapa’a groove. Right on the beach so you can hear the surf all night. Easy walking to much of Kapaa. You can also borrow cruiser bikes and ride miles north or south on the dedicated waterfront bike path. The warm staff helps make your stay what you want it to be.
An older property with a quiet seaside location and walking/biking path at waterfront. An idyllic setting.

Great location
But too expensive for an outdated room
It’s smell like the 70’s
We turn on the ceiling fan and leave doors open when we occupy to vent the smell out
Older place with lots of character. If you want boujee this isnt the place to go. If you want a cheaper place with beautiful grounds and views, this place checks the boxes. Close to town so you can walk to shops and good food choices. Would definitely stay again.
First this place is Not a hotel. It’s a Motel. This whole place should be condemned. It’s sooo outdated. Dirty, old, smells like pot inside and surrounding building. Rooms are sooo small it’s ridiculous. AC sucks that it takes all night just to get it cool. Beds squeak. Only some outlets work. After all this we only stayed 1 night. My advice pay the extra money to stay somewhere else. Your regret it if you don’t. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.
