Good overnight hotel option
We stopped here for one night before taking the Ferry the next day. I was honestly surprised of how well taken care of this hotel is, shared bathrooms but they are very well maintained and extremely comfortable beds!

Property is great. Right across the street from the ferry. There’s 5-6 restaurants around within walking distance. The Main Street is fine. Be careful walking at night. Odd there’s no real easy accessible way of renting bicycles. Not the hotels fault. Hotel itself is great! Restaurant and a rooftop bar offer pristine views!

Tiny rooms, designed really for one person (or two being very cozy) - breakfast buffet atrociously overpriced - but everything else above reproach

My main comment is that if you book the "Polynesian Cabins", pay close attention to the size of the room. It was about 4 feet by 10 feet with a bunk bed on the side. It was enough for me as I really needed just a "day room" after a cruise and before a flight home. Shared bathroom and shower facilities. Staff was great. Gave me complimentary early check in at 8:30am as that was what I needed. Concierge arranged an island tour for me at last minute. Very helpful!

Friendly staff and perfect for a quick overnight to catch the ferry the next morning to the other islands. Rooms were small, but I was alone and had no issue climbing up the ladder into the bed. (Might be difficult if physically challenged)

Stayed here for one night to take a flight to a different island the next day. The hotel is close to the airport (19-20 usd taxi ride from the airport). Pretty close to everything within walking distance if you need to do some shopping before continuing your journey. If you’re staying in one of the upper floors the noise might be an issue due to the rooftop (which was a lot of fun) I was on the first floor and had no trouble at all. Check in process was fast and efficient.
