My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms were comfortable and had interesting pieces of original art, but they were a bit hot and humid with a musty smell at times. The staff were delightful to chat with and took pride in maintaining the hotel, making it a welcoming environment. The hotel's location in Lihue was ideal, within walking distance of various attractions, though it was a little away from the mega-hotels. The dining experience was a delightful treat with homemade goodies, while the facilities were up to standard.

I had the best time at this hotel! The rooms were not only clean, comfortable but also had everything you could need, including plates and cutlery. The creativity in the decor was truly inspiring. I loved my room; it was roomy and comfortable, with a king bed, a small balcony, coffee perk, microwave, fridge, white noise machine, and A/C unit. The value for money was exceptional considering all these amenities. The service was top-notch, with staff that's not only friendly and helpful but also super nice and hospitable. They even offered fruit and breakfast, making me feel truly welcomed. The location couldn't have been better; it was conveniently close to many attractions, restaurants, and even local food trucks. Being near the airport in Lihue was practical, and the lush surroundings with colorful plants and flowers added to the charm. The dining experience was a delightful treat, especially with the owner's homemade sweet potato, yogurt, and fresh-fruit pie straight from the farm. The facilities were fantastic, with lots of plants, artwork, and outdoor sitting areas. The only downside was the noise from the nearby highway, but the water features helped mask it, creating a peaceful ambiance.
