    The furnishings were old and uncomfortable. The TV did not have the proper remote, some channels did not have sound. We felt a little cramped in space.

    It was nice to have the beach close by, parking was mostly available, we were close to all retail stores and restaurants.

    Location is beautiful and the room had a lovely view out to the ocean. The bike path was right there and very convenient to access and go for a quick ride along the coast.

    We arrived late in the evening and thankfully check-in went as smoothly as it did. We needed to wash some clothes and the staff was lovely, helping us to detergent and quarters for the machines. If you intent to check in after 9 pm make sure to inform them as the office is closed afterwards. The room itself was rather spacious as was the bathroom area, really great. There is AC, a TV, microwave, fridge and hot water kettle provided along ironing items. Our room was on ground floor level and oriented towards the sea so we could sit on the patio and look at the sea just a few yards away. It was lovely. The doors work with a door code instead of a key card so at least you cannot lose the card but remember your code.

    The roosters. We were on the first floor and we couldn't sit outside. Several homeless would camp out across the way on the beach too, some which were obviously drug dealers. That wasn't fun to be around.

    Two or three very minor issues like loose door closer latches etc, the main issue however was the dangerous shower/spa. Because the spa is so high, and because there are no grab handles or anything secure to hold, getting in and out is extremely dangerous. Especially when wet, it’s a serious accident waiting to happen.

    excellent location, very clean, friendly and efficient staff, great value, good pool, superb views, relaxed scale.

    Many things needed a little TLC. Could use an update on the furnishings and decorations, but then the price would probably be MUCH higher! Room lighting was confusing to use; Couldn't run the fan at night without the lights being turned on. They're probably short of a full time maintenance person. Frig in room needed defrosting. Litter on the grounds. Pool could have used a skimmer to remove floating plant debris. Bikes needed lubrication on the chain to make them easier to pedal. Leaving the driveway onto the street can take a while to get out safely.

    Reasonable rates. Comfortable bed, free parking, free rental of bikes, movies and a cooler for the day. The free roaming local chickens.

    Traffic is pretty bad in Kapaa so there is a lot of noise.

    We stayed in both types of rooms (city view and oceanside) at different points on our trip. Both exactly meet expectations! If you want a small room for a short period of time, great value in the Cityview room. If you want the oceanside lanai experience and a bigger room for a longer stay, go with oceanside! Also everyone in the lobby is super kind and helpful.
